My brother got rid of his Turbo a couple of months ago, and finally picked up his new daily commuter.

^seriously? 0.0

Congrats! But as a daily commuter, how many miles does he drive each day?

I have a friend who bought a 911 turbo and then a week later went out and bought a Prius to use as a daily driver. The lives in LA and the commuting is pretty intense for most. I think if he uses it everyday more power to him

I would never daily commute such a nice car in CA! Lol too much attention. If you've ever driven an exotic car around CA...the attention you get is pretty crazy unless your in an area like Beverly Hills. What does your bro do tho? That's a freicken sweet Ferrari :D

the 458 is sooooo beautiful. How is he enjoying the lame steering wheel though? haha

I hope your brother gets good gas mileage.

Should of kept Turbo as extra car for mundane commuting duties.

MrBruin09 Apr 24, 2011 10:50 PM

Well is daily drive to his office is literally like 2 miles. He does also have a G55 Suv when he needs more room. My brother owns his own investment firm in, and gas is the least of his concern. You don't want to guess what he paid for Registration last year on his LP460 :egads:

That is a great daily driver. Cars are meant to be driven. I'm glad he is driving it and enjoying it. :thumbup:

There are many other areas in California, mostly Southern Cali, where a car like this wouldn't stand out too much. Beverly Hills is one for sure, but more so the entire Westside. Also the Valley has quite a few areas where this would be semi normal. Then think Newport Beach/CDM, possibly even all of South County. La Jolla in SD is also loaded with exotics.

This is true. Even three of my neighbors have ferrari 599, maserati, lamborghini murcielago , 911 gt3.... and my city is considered low profile. Norcal's wealthy seems to be low key.

Congrats to him. :thumbup:

Congragulations...nice car. :)

A Ferrari, though, used for daily-commuting....that must be a pretty stiff insurance rate. But, living that close to the office might help keep the rate down some.....and, of course, in cooler weather, it will have to be driven farther than that just to get the engine fully-warm.

And any reason why he prefers black to the traditional Ferrari-red...or just a personal thing?
