How many owners will use their BS as a DD?

Just curious about how many owners will drive their BS every day? I work out my home so I don't drive to an office but my wife (who is as much of a gear head as me) will drive it most days. How about you?

DD for me as well. 2200 miles in 3 winter months in the northeast. Thankfully very little snow.

I have 7500 miles on mine - and I don't drive it in the rain. I'm taking it to Vegas next week - that's 625 miles one way.

Weekend car for me - tough to daily drive in Los Angeles if you want to keep the car in good shape.

I have a feeling my BS is going to be my car of choice this summer. I'm driving it from Chicago to Dallas later this week and then back to Chicago the following week.

Funny, I work out of my house too. Not really a daily driver, but I use it as often as I can. The truth is, my other cars feel tame and borring in comparison, so it's very hard not to drive the BS.

Funny how you just happen to come up with some reason to go for a drive in these cars, isn't it?

Mine is practically a daily driver.

I enjoy it more than any other car that I have experienced in the last few years.

Just drove to Vegas - here's what the computer showed when we pulled into town. Most of the trip was in fairly heavy traffic - so the average speed is somewhat misleading (if you catch my drift). The last 150 mi on I15 from Barstow inspired that permanent smile phenomenon that other Black owners have noted. The car was very comfortable - no problems at all.
