Daily driver #2. I also have a Ford Ranger for hauling things and a 1953 Ford F100 to take any spare money I haven't spent on the MINI.

1. My MCS is my only vehicle and I drive it every day. The Daily Driven, Two-Seat Terror, Black on Black Attack Hatchback! LOL

18,500 miles in the 10 months since I drove it off the showroom floor to be exact!

#2 for the mini. I drive my Hummer when it snows since the mini will not make it up my 100' drive to the top of the hill during those conditions.

With 3-4 Track weekends per year.
I didn't buy it just to wash it, and show it.

My wife and I both have R50's as our only car. I work M-F and drive each day because I go in early, so I guess I would count as a #1; sometimes I park it on a Friday afternoon and don't get in again until Monday morning. During the week there's always errands, appointments, Little League so it gets used plenty.

My wife works from home and she doesn't necessarily go out every day as our son takes the bus to and from school. She's an actor, though, so if she's in a show it gets used every day for months at a time while she's rehearsing and performing. So I'll consider her a #1 also based on that and the fact that it's her only car.

Daily driver, summer as well as winter. Except when the winter roads are crap, then I take my wife's truck. So I guess #2 for me.
