Is your E55 a toy or daily driver?
Just wondering what is everybody here using their E55 for? A weekend toy? A daily workhorse? or just an addition to their auto museum collection?
I'm planning to drive it to work everyday and to drive the HECK out of it!

Makes me proud these cars are actually being driven everyday.

E55, someday I'll own one.

Any time after work and weekend. I live 2 miles from work and don't feel like leaving the car in the sun all day long.

I don't work anymore either, but when I do I split duties between the E55 and the Jeep. Kind of a nice switchup!!
