Who else uses the roadster or coupe as a weekend car?

Silververtu · 03-20-2012, 03:30 PM

After work/weekend car. A4 wagon is my daily driver

misterawa · 03-20-2012, 04:00 PM

Mine used to be a daily driver (which was costing a lot in gas and maintenance, not to mention wear and tear

), but as of last year, it's been a weekend toy

. Now I drive a modded Toyota Yaris on Advans.

My Z4 is my DD as long as it is not snowing, sleet, or icy out.

KLH · 03-21-2012, 01:59 AM

Pleasure only......it's never seen rain.....just like my motorcycles.

Z4MLover2012 · 03-21-2012, 08:28 AM

Daily Driver.

ricanbandit · 03-21-2012, 08:49 AM

Mine is a mix of both. if it is not raining or snowing I drive it. But my commute is only about 5 highway miles. I actually drive it quite a bit during weekends if the weather is nice, like to get lost and then let my GPS guide me home

M ///M Coupe is a summer/no rain/track/weekend driver, while my Q5 is my bad weather, winter, road trip,and need to carry sh*t car

Lark · 03-21-2012, 08:59 AM

If it's not raining I drive the Z. The original intent was for it to be a weekend car. My 335i now only gets out when its raining.

The only time I ever got somewhat uncomfortable in my car was a 5 hour road trip where I only got out once to refuel. Daily driving would be no issue to me, though as it is, I only drive the coupe on weekends and occasional trips to work

Daily driver in a city known for traffic. But I've been shifting in traffic for 35 years so it's no big deal.

Jbs · 03-21-2012, 12:24 PM

i use mine on the weekends. i also dd it, so i use it all the time haha

30 miles each way to work during the week, and then usually a canyon run and dinner etc during the weekends

XMetal · 03-21-2012, 01:28 PM

I drive it whenever I feel like driving it, which would be most of the time

eHelmholtz · 03-29-2012, 01:24 PM

I took the weekend roadster out on a weekday, driving with the top down on one of San Diego's winding mountain roads :-)

I'm in SD too. Where did you go?

eHelmholtz · 03-29-2012, 01:35 PM

I took the 79 to Julian and then the 78 back from Julian. They're both winding but the 78 has wider lanes and the road quality is also better. Have you been?

Huz-Z · 03-29-2012, 02:09 PM

I drive it whenever the weather is nice here.

Last year, that was six days, I think.

eHelmholtz · 04-01-2012, 05:21 PM

speaking of San Diego mountains, the 78 twists to become the 67. that road is also fun and close to home - Mira Mesa on Mercy Rd onto Poway on Scripps Poway Parkway then then left onto the 67 to Romona. I took the electric car yesterday and it was surprisingly fun!

ljkiter · 04-05-2012, 10:53 AM

dd everyday..

eHelmholtz · 05-10-2012, 09:50 AM

I'd like to have this as a weekend car:

gcochard · 05-10-2012, 09:54 AM

My roadster is my only car, but I work from home so you could say it's a weekend car.

We'll see what happens when I get another job...
