    Not many. Lots of talk but there are virtually none. I did for a number of years but I wasn't driving that much, no regular commute at the time.

    I daily drove my GT3 when I first took delivery. While it seems like a good idea and allowed me to justify the purchase to my wife, 2 years and 24,000 miles later I went out and bought a daily driver. It’s not the resale value that kills you, I bought my Porsche new so depreciation was expected, it was the fact the “magic” was gone and driving in traffic when there was construction or an accident actually made me hate it. When you have a more normal daily it makes taking out the “special” car all the better.

    Put it this another way... I always rent the economy car when I travel. Not that I can’t afford the better one, but it’s nice to come home and drive a nice car or a special car on the weekend when you have something to compare to.

    I drive Sophia everyday to work unless it rains. Total drive is about 5-6 miles, she stays in our warehouse all day. Have been doing this almost 3 years, have a battery on the way, just because. No issues!

    I did the daily drive thing in my 360 for a few weeks when awaiting arrival of E63S a few years back. ~45 mile round trip commute in Austin traffic made it not very much fun. Did the same for ~1.5 years with AMG GTS Edition1 with same conclusion. As others have stated, keep the fun cars for the weekends.

    I kind of agree with the "keep it special" idea. I like the idea of having my Ferrari cleaned and shiny in the garage ready for a nice drive when the weather is good and the traffic is light. It's hard to really get into a "pleasure" drive when the drive is not going to be pleasurable, but rather mundane. But with that said, I don't sweat it if I get caught in the rain.

    On a related topic, I also DD an E63s... such a super car. Docile when you want, yet a bonkers animal when you get on the accelerator in sport plus mode. And the downshifts..:: lord!

    I DD my 360 for years. Very reliable. Yea, it ends up needing washed a lot of times and doesn't always get it but it is ALWAYS nice to drive. The car is super reliable. You learn to adapt to the driveway entries, low nose, and long doors. It can be a handful when it rains really hard; there is a tendency to hydroplane so keep the speed down and be careful. Drive it and enjoy.

    I dd my 360 and must say that I love it and so does the car. The suspension is great and extremely comfortable. The frunk is extremely spacious. The only thing is lack of cup holders but you shouldn't be drinking or eating in the car anyway :)

    I'm daily driving my 360 as well, but to be fair, my commute has become very short over past few months. Love the car and have snows for winter... they are a must in cold weather

    I do have cars other than ferrari, but except for family duties requiring 4 seats, I daily drive my CS and F430. 95% of my annual mileage came from these 2 cars.

    Abso-freakin'-lutely. ;). If you are driving a Ferrari, you should be immersed in driving it -- otherwise take "the other car".

    Exactly. When you show up at HD in your Ferrari people look at you a little oddly but they all walk by and check it out while you are in shopping.

    I go to HD frequently in the 360, the only time I don't is when I know I need extra room and then I take wife's car.
