Winter I usually drive my Explorer
Summer I usually drive my Corvette
E55 all the other times

I probably drive it to work 2-3 out of 5 except for when there is snow. Then it stays in the garage.

Weekends, usually the E55, as I'm hauling kids.

Isn't ML63 an SUV meant to go in all the rough places?

Its the third car, I only drive it when the weather is right and when Im in the mood. I tried to use it as a daily driver and lost count of the potholes and speed bumps, so its the Cayenne S which I use daily.

About 2 days/wk for 20 miles total. It's also my customer car when they are in town..they always want to go to dinner in the AMG. My daily driver is a modded HD Road King. Very nice here in sunny Florida.

Otherwise it's a BMW MSport Z3 for taking the wife on weekends. That is... when we aren't taking her Ducati Monster and my Hayabusa for a ride.

It is a special car but I bought it to use as my daily driver so that is exactly what I do with it. The only exceptions are that I will not valley park it or park around other cars.

Love my AMG's too much, it would kill me to see something happens to them (knock on wood).

I've got four cars but drive the 55 most every day. Why save it for somebody else to enjoy?

i drive the 202 to work as our parking lot suck since we share with another company. They (the man) also frown on me taking 2 spots to park the beast since our office is at full capacity and main campus is full packed too.

DD for me too! I have an old 02' XC70 (my wife's old car) that I figured I would drive most days (I have a 60 mile RT commute-- for the next 6 months then it's back to home office) and it sits -- I can't let the beast rest! I figure, while I have to drive 60 miles a day, I may as well enjoy it! Once I am back in the home office, I will be looking for reasons to drive!!!

I have yet to drive mine. I keep it in a garage like in the movie Ferris Bueller.

From what I have read on the forum it seems to be a fun car to drive.

Maybe I'll hit 3K miles per year in the E55, at the rate I am going I should be up to 20K miles by 2012. Heck my 99 430 only has 28K and it is ten years old.
My golf cart has over 50,000 hard miles.
Tahoe (wife&driver) bazillion miles, bout time to trade it, 8 months old.
