    I float between a 2001 Mazda B4000 truck and a 06' 997. Talk about having to make a decision on which car to drive.

    I drive the 997 once every 2-3 weeks. Daily drivers are X5 4.8, Touareg v10, RR Sport S/C(coming ), ML 63(coming ), sometimes the Cooper S.

    Infinity QX56 as the daily driver and snow trips, SL 500 for long weekend trips and the 997 when I want to put a smile on my face.

    I love the 997 for a daily driver. I live in Florida and the weather is perfect for it right now. My friends tried to talk me into 997S coupe to take on the track with them, I said that I would only do that once every couple of months. So I bought a 997 Cabrio for the same money and I enjoy that everyday. It was a better choice for me.



    I did the same. My family wanted the drop top and I wanted the C2S. Ended up with the C2 Conv and I love it. Maybe I should have gone for the C2S Cab



    Just did 1/2 Marathon at Disney... (drove car down from Athens) heard it was the coldest night in Orlando and still had top down!

    After buying the 911, I just can't seem to make myself drive anything else. 6700 miles in less than three months! It's the perfect daily driver unless you need to haul stuff.

    Truck just sat there so I sold it last week.

    Wife has a Yukon Denali for hauling most things. Brother has truck as second car if I need it.

    Kids drive Jeeps.

    LOVE MY CAB!

    Re: 997 owners, what is your daily driver?

    If the weather is bad or I need to haul something I chose the 98 Ford 'White Lightning' pickup truck, if I feel the need for speed, I'll fire up the 997. Unfortunatley most of my driving is from 0-40 MPH during the week, but its still fun. Averaging about 7.5K/per year.
