Daily driver here. I can't think of anything better than driving my car. I don't get any enjoyment knowing that it is in the garage and I am not driving it.

Great to hear! I think that where we live is an awesome place to drive daily if you so desire. I personally like variety though.

After 12k miles in 5 months I guess you could say that I have been using mine as a "daily" driver....It is not something to be hung on a wall or to be admired as if it were in a museum......Drive it...!!! You will get a lot more enjoyment than just "looking" at your "low" mileage (not a) piece of art...!!

That's why you make your 2nd car a Corolla.

The difference is between driving it because you want to and driving it because you have to.

For me, driving it to work in the morning in all that crap traffic would take a lot of fun out of it for me.
