I daily drive this M3 everyday in Bay Area, San Francisco, Oakland traffic, through the hood, and park it in long term airport parking. I paid close to $92k for this car, I'm gonna use it.

This is GM's first supercar, in my opinion. Corvette z06's have always had supercar performance but lacked being an actual supercar. But if GM does this right with the C8 z06, this WILL BE GM's first supercar. I'll miss the pushrod sound but i know i'll still be happy hearing the flat plane crank sound as well. It'll be my poor man's ferrari LOL Quote:
I had a 300ZXTT as well lol. 1993. This was when i had my FD3S rx7 too. Great cars. Until every issue involves basically taking out every single thing in the engine bay. That got old quick and some dude from upstate new york came with his GF and took it off me. Made a small profit too lol. But i have never found driving a manual easier in stop and go traffic than auto. Especially these days with auto's, most if not all cars come with auto hold so you don't even need to have your foot rest on the brake pedal. It'll hold the brake pedal for you, illuminating your brake lights as well for safety. I daily drove a 2000 civic SI with a 6 puck clutch for almost a year. I wanted to end my life. IN the morning was great cause no traffic. Going home, i wanted to drive the car off a cliff. My c7 z06 is the only manual i have left. And even when i drive it on the weekends and i encounter those rare traffic jams, really made me start to dislike manuals. |

This is unique and different for everyone. I personally drive the crap out of my cars. I love buying others peoples car at low mileage with 20-30% depreciation. I bought a 2016 charger Hellcat in early 2018 with 2600 miles. Sticker was 71, I got it for 53500. I drove it for 3 1/2 years and put 38k on it, broke a tranny and ran 9s with it. I had so much fun with it, it wasn't even my daily but I used it to get avocados for my wife, any chance to drive it. Trade it in for 50k .

One of my biggest regret was not using my M2 during winter for the 3 years I've owned it.
I still believe some cars are a waist during the winter like a GT4/GT3 or some very low aero carbon equipped special editions like the upcoming CSL but I promised myself to appreciate more all my future cars.

So much car for the money! |

I've owned 3 generations of corvette already and the C8 is looking to be the best one. Love how it evolved. And it brought so many new audiences too. From people who never liked corvettes, now all of a sudden is interested in one. As proven by your post. GM is going to be making supercar slayers starting with the z06. And there's still a lot more variants left lol. And people were making fun of GM all these years...........pff |

When I first got my M2 6spd my plan was to use it as a fun / weekend car. The first winter I had it, I ended up getting snow tires mounted because I loved driving it so much and ended up commuting in it 40~ miles round trip every day. Rain or snow, it didn't matter. That car was a beast in the snow with proper tires. The funny thing is, at the time I also had a 2 year old Ram 1500 limited that I could have taken out at any time in the winter, but didn't. I just enjoyed driving the M that much more, even in the snow. I also plan on DDing my G80. With the way things are going it'll be here just in time for winter 2022 lol.

Life's too short to drive boring cars especially if you can afford it. You'll be old/dead long enough.
I would say just don't get too hung up on having the car looking immaculate. Speaking from experience you're bound to get idiots dinging your car in car parks and such the more you drive it This kinda stuff enrages me but you just have to be thankful you get to drive these things and not cry too much over spilled milk. |

But to add to what i said, it really all depends. Some cars are good for the long stretch. Some cars aren't. I really hate to keep sounding like a broken record but personally the only cars i do keep a long time, or willing to keep a long time than usual, are my corvettes. Other than that, my dailys and secondary toys always come and go within 2-3 years. Maybe 4 MAX. That's the main reason why i leased the M3. I know it's a good car even though i didn't drive it yet, but at least with a lease, if you don't like the car, you give it back after 3 years. But i know it'll be a car i will have fun with for 3 years. And i'm going to return the car with ZERO miles left on the lease lol |

I've been surprised at how much of a daily driver my G80 has been the past month. I've driven it literally everyday and it is amazingly well mannered when in comfort mode. Then you push one of the M buttons and look out! It transforms instantly into a beast. Push it again, and its back to being a comfortable luxury sedan. Kind of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I love being in one of the M modes around town and then going into low profile mode as soon as I turn the corner into my neighborhood.
My M3 fits 5 people (not 4) and I've used it a lot for driving little girls to soccer practice, and I haven't had any complaints...well I did have one girl say she felt sick, but that was an anomaly, lol. Absolutely a daily driver IMHO. Also, I got all the driver assist options on my car, and it is awesome! It is basically full self driving in stop and go traffic. I found it to be extremely useful, especially in a car that just wants to go fast, it's nice to chill out and let the car drive for awhile instead of getting frustrated. Sell the other one, the M3 is the only car you will want to drive. Trust me. I look for any excuse to take the car out. I can't imagine letting it sit in the garage while I drove some other subpar car around town. |

I babied my E92. I drive my G80 daily. The M3 excels at doing either role.
But the G80 is certainly comfortable enough to drive every day. I love mine.
