I use 260 miles a month...i use my miata as dd

 

I split time between the EVO IX and a E39 M5. EVO is raw and fun while the M is just nice and relaxed.

 

I DD mine. Drive it from Walla Walla, Washington to Sunnyvale CA about 5 times a year. About 900 miles. Sometimes i wish i had another car because rock chips are starting to kill my bumper. but being able to pass people like they are standing still definitely puts a smile on my face everyday.

 

DD ~30mi/day. Could have used my 350z as my DD, but I end up giving it to my ill bro. Also, with the same reason above, I prefer my evo.

 

It's my DD, 140k, 32 mile round trip about 3 times a week, all highway. Plus random trips to the mall and photo shoots and whatnot.

However, twice a week I take our shared family beater (and my first car) a scion tc to save some fuel. That way I can get about 2 weeks out of a full tank. Tc is pretty weak, but the cruise control is nice, the stereo is really good, and automagic is a life saver at 8 am when im sitting in bumper to bumper traffic.

But you know ya boy he had to pimp it out with some walmart tinted windows, spray painted wheels, and a super dope head unit with iPod capability.

-Sigh- Oh to be young and dumb...

 

I daily drove mine for a few months. Having a DD beater really brings out the enjoyment for me when I take the Evo out on the weekends. I don't get used to the car, when I get in it I kinda get the feeling of how I felt when I first bought it.

 

My Evo is officially no longer my DD.

I picked this up today:

 

yup, bought it 2 months ago, already did 3000km.
evo 6s are pretty hectic on the highway tho, from the short gears

 

DD since I bought it.

~65k on it currently.

 

That too

 

Mines an 05 VIII with 6k original miles so you know mines not a dd.

 

DD from day one. 05 MR 55kmiles

 

i want to DD whatever model evo i get and this thread has made me feel so much better that it wont blow up on me(unless i cause problems) awesome thread, once i get mine i hope to come back to this and add my more on topic 2 cents

 

The only drawback of using the evo as a dd is the upkeep.
Holy crap I just priced out front & rear brembro pads.
Almost $900 for brake pads, wtf that's like 2 car payments.
Am so lucky I have a Nissan juke as a dd.
it's like a castrated version of the evo, but hey it's got a turbo. So I have officially become a boost addict.

 

I DD my IX for a year and finally got a utility now.Now I can use my utility to transport my mx bike and my Evo can rest in the cool garage.Plus I can use the DD beater for work and back because my Evo stood in the hot sun everyday...but no more.
