I got this car to take the miles off the other one... I'm at 53k miles in about 18 months. 100% daily driver, and it will continue to be until the wheels fall off...

i travel for work every week - so i drive a hertz rental mon->thurs - my max is my baby for when i get home on the weekends

bought it about this time last year because i was tired of my '96 camry sucking more than the ford taurus i usually rent

i love the max more and more with every new car i get - the past few weeks i've gotten upgraded to the volvo s80 - cadillac sts - ford mustang (all were the pretty much base models though) - the only car i liked as much was the fx35 - i'd consider buying one next time i'm looking

I push my whip every day I drive about 70 miles a day. Besides every one needs to see the car that is why I bought it.

99% of people bought it to drive it, some cars that are too rare and expensive to subject them to daily wear and tear; this isnt one of them. But If you consider this car something to be garaged and rarely driven..more power to ya i guess!

I guess mine would qualify in all 3 categories. Sometimes I drive it a few days in a row, and other times it would stay garaged for days too. Plus the occasional road trips.

VERY TRUE! BUT....daily driving, especially on a highway as I do, can REALLY wreak havoc on the hood paint and bumper, due to stone kick ups and other unforseen garbage, and when you get to such a point of extreme customization as many of the guys here on the org, do you want to expose your ride to that kind of harsh "sandblasting"?

Weekend ride... I own a small business and I drive a full size van all day. I may get it out a few times during the week for short errands. Other than that I roll it on friday nights and the weekends. Its also insured as a "Pleasure Vehical" which lowers my premiums quite a bit.

I put 57,000 miles on it in two years. I only use it to travel, go to meets, shows and weekends now. I use my wife's car must of the week to run errands.
