Just curious.. we all buy ours for different reasons, what is yours for?

Choose the option which BEST fits you and your car.. since many people will find they fit in more than one of the categories.

I use mine as a daily driver. How could you own a car like that and rarely drive it? It's so fun to drive.

Drive it year round,no matter what the weather is. I put about 2500-3000 miles a month on my car. Which sucks but atleast it's all highway driving.

Trusted steed for daily work commute of 80 miles @ 80 MPH. Wish I didn't have so much traffic (Chicago) so that I could have bought a 5 speed. Just filled up yesterday @ $2.79/gallon and got 30 MPG - love it.

Daily driver, and the company that does the work on it occasionally takes it to shows.
