Daily driven for work. In almost 5 months since buying it I have put on 28k miles. Sitting at 124K at the moment and should be right around 130k by the end of the year.

mine is my daily driver... but my commute to work is 3 miles round trip. (51xxx miles) I have a 1978 Trans Am for a summer/spring/ not any type of bad weather car haha. and I have a F250 if its real nasty out. My old daily driver is a 1996 ford explorer which is also still hanging around. Quite an upgrade for me

Some weeks it gets driven every day to work.

Most weeks it gets driven twice a week.

Other than that it's in the garage.

It used to be my weekend car when I had my Civic.

It's my dd. I bought it with 110k miles last january and it'll have about 121k by the end of this year.

I bought a Teg GSR for a daily beater bak in August and was gonna make the TL my weekend car. But then I posted the GSR for fun on Craigslist and got a buyer at a really good price so I let it go. Used the money for mods and kept driving the TL as a daily instead

It's my daily driver.. no other option lol. I bought it at 38,686.. it's an 08, and I just got it last month, and I have added a little above 1,000mi. I think it's the honeymoon phase.. Other than that my commute is usually 3 miles one way (work), and downtown is about 14 miles one way and gym is 8 miles one way.

Not too shabby

Daily drive mine @110k and not enough garage to put it in the garage so unfortunetly it endures the elements. The NSX is the weekend toy/garage queen.
