It's a daily driver. I always curb it as I do all cars--found the perfect long-term off airport parking, which is impossible. A brand new Audi S6 with temp tags took a spot in front of me--on the end, and no space next to them.
Our work relocated and I have to park inside a garage.....RUH ROH, big car, tiny space, coworkers in a hurry. Not sure what the over/under is gonna be with dings now. Last time I had this scenario and worked downtown? My car went from 3 to about 25 dings in a matter of 6 mos. UGH!

Pretty much same as @lexrex05 The LS is the daily drive for my wife. We wanted something roomy, comfy and with decent gas mileage for long distance travel. Was looking at 460 and 430, but we like the look on 430 better. Then saw this CL on sale, and my wife been wanting a white car. We test drove it, she mentioned how smooth and quiet the ride is. The car is in pretty good shape and has good maintenance history. So we bought it.
We prefer to spend less, but budget wise, the LS 430/460 is well within our price range. Just a matter of finding the right car with the right color.

Daily driver. Love the quiet cocoon of comfort. Stop lights after work are lovely. It's the perfect car if you have a headache or feel sick. I've been having lots of pain lately and the drivers seat is the only chair that gives me relief.
This car makes an hour drive not so bad
I bought it originally as a nice weekend car with plans to modify it. Over time my daily drivers all disappeared and I got stuck driving my LS most of the time. It’s fun to drive, comfortable, my most reliable car so far. I hate to daily drive it due to it being lowered and having wheels. It attracts too much attention and I prefer to leave it at home.
At the moment it’s basically my nicest car and sits in the garage. My front tires were in bad shape so I rarely drove it for the past six months.
