My IS is my only car, althou like others I wouldnt mind a second car.. Like a 00' Subaru RS or a older Subaru would be wonderful just like the fact I have a warranty and dont have to worry about fixing a second car out of pocket..

Right now, my IS is my only car. I was looking at adding an MR2 or 300zx to the mix though, but insurance is already pretty high as is.

Depending on my mood I switch back and forth with my wife's truck

had a '99 maxima 5-speed for the last 3 years that i absolutely loved for winter, commuting and beating around the city...until my younger bro totaled his truck the other wkd. so, he got a cheap, reliable vehicle and now the IS is on the street daily. i put 500 miles on it the first week w/o the maxima.

not sure what i'm doing for a winter ride but will see how the blizzaks do first...which of course wont be good. i'll prob look to grab a high mileage wrx to turn into a fun city/commuter/winter beater. rally style

My IS350 is my "daily beater"

MR-S works weekends, and when I want to save money on gas...

I made the thread cause I was considering selling my DD and just use my IS daily. Was wondering how many had a DD. If I sell my DD, Figure if I'm paying for it might as well enjoy it my IS that is. I put 6k miles on Lex had it like 17 months.We also have an FX35.
