I definately try but i end up splitting the week between the E and my accord coupe. I'd love to drive the AMG more but I need to get some 18 or 19's because the low profile 20's are a major PITA. Dunno what do you guys think?

It's not worth the wear and tear sitting in traffic to and from work...All weekend and most nights though, and occasionally to the office...

unless you want it to break down -- you need to drive it on a regular basis -- I am a DD but I dont drive everyday because I dont have a real job -- I go to the store or run errands 3-4 times a week-

that is way cool -- but i think my girl would prefer the E63 to my E55 -- if i had both cars - and i would want the E55.

Drive the E63 nine month out of the year or when it rains. I drive the 997TT when it nice out.

Same as Forest Gump. DD April - November. Once in a while during the winter if the roads are clean meaning no salt & sand.

My answer was a little misleading, as it is actually my wife that drives the E55 as her DD. I drive the 996TT.

Everyday to work and home, then around town just to drive.. I have two other cars (and I am single), and neither has had even one mile put on since getting the E55 in April.

I drive it every day, regardless of weather. In the last 16 months I've put 30,000 miles on it. It's a blast to drive, and I simply cannot justify having a car like this and NOT driving it. No point in buying something nice and then just letting it sit and go unused.
