Who daily drives their Ferrari, or splits the duties?

Subject line "says it all."

I split the DD duties between my 328 GTB and a C7 Corvette (have been driving Corvettes as DDs for 27+ years).... when I need a larger trunk I take the C7, otherwise it's the 328.

You?

I used to but then I decided to restore it...

 

I can't do it myself because of business, clients, employees, etc.
My wife has a new car on order and definitely will drive it daily, 10-12k miles/year.

 

i used to. drove my 456mgt for 9 years. then i moved to houston......

 

I don't discriminate.

I buy a vehicle with the intent of driving it on any given day.

 

My philosophy of Ferrari ownership includes the idea that if you have to put the car on a battery tender, you're not driving it enough. So, I drive them twice a week, even if it's just to go across town to my favorite cigar shop, or the fancy liquor store I like.

 

I split duty between my 07 612 and a 05 Mercedes CL55. Both great drivers cars but different enough to satisfy different moods. I also take the Ferrari to the office. Who cares about business, clients, employees! That's their problem.

 

I drive it to the office every so often, and run errands occasionally in it.
However, week-end driving in it, is mandatory.

 

I split the duties between my 458 (used to be 360) and my other two cars. I dont drive the Fcars in the rain.

 

I work from home and have several to drive, so the answer is definitely split. Mostly it depends on where I'm going (road conditions and parking) and which one needs a workout. But if all conditions are go for the Huracan, then that's the one I pick every time.

 

Getting a second set of winter wheels for her so she can drive in snow and other nasty Chicago weather.

 

I drive my California T every day (in the summer). I put roughly 8K miles a summer on the car.

 

"my 458 (used to be 360)"?
Now that's amazing! ... and the transmission changed and everything?

 

I'm splitting these days between my F430 and a Tesla Model S. I'm not thrilled with the Tesla (long story) and miss my MB CLS550; am thinking about replacing it with an S Coupe to share the DD duties with the F-car.

 

I drive an FF on a daily basis and it’s fantastic

Not ever for daily duties, well rarely. I could count the number of times on one hand for over 12 years and three Ferraris.
I did used to think the fuel would be too costly but my current DD a MB CLK is hardly better on fuel.

The comments at work would drive me mad anyway and it's always raining here in Manchester UK.

 

My sentiments exactly, although while my health has failed, mostly forced to use the Range Rover now unless the stars align perfectly.....don't want to get somewhere, be ill, and not be able to get home!

 

The 430 is my daily, unless I decide the 328 needs a drive. 328 gets out less in the summer due to the a/c performance. Or lack thereof.

That said, I still use my MX-5 as my 'airport car.' Just can't bring myself to leave the 430 in airport parking all week, even though I would absolutely appreciate having it there when I land!

 

I know this obviously bucks the trend here, but my Ferrari's are strictly for pleasure. I don't run errands in them and I don't do anything mundane in them. I have a Honda for that. They go out on perfect days for brisk cruises on open, winding country roads. I never want to lose the special the thrill and experience they give me. I respect how anyone chooses to enjoy their Ferrari's but, for me, they aren't cars, they are events and art in motion.

 

I recently bought my first Ferrari a few months ago, 458 spider, and definitely use it as a daily driver (except when it rains). Love it. Probably won't leave it at airport, that just seems too risky.

 

I'm curious to hear that story... I've been thinking for a while that my ideal garage would have exactly this - Tesla model S and F430. I haven't reached the right phase in life yet (current garage is a classic M5 and Porsche Turbo, but looking to upgrade someday). So if there's a story about the Tesla, maybe you'd consider starting a thread someplace about Tesla experiences? Inquiring minds want to know.

If/when I save up and get an F-car, my plan would be to use it sparingly. Unless I win Lotto, in which case I'll get an 812 Superfast and Portofino to alternate as daily drivers

 

When its not raining, snowing, or so long as the roads are clear, I will drive my Ferraris every day- around my back roads and then to my office.

 

I split between 488GTB and McLaren 570S.

I used to daily drive 360 modena 9 years ago, I prefer driving exciting cars to work and back home. It gives me something to look forward to twice a day.

 

I have rotated a 348, TR, Mondial t, F40 and an X5

 

I swap between a tr and a 328 gts and am looking to add a 355 next month
