My daily driver/commute car for nice weather, is a 2003 Mustang GT convertible.
My daily driver/commute car for bad weather, is a 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid AWD SUV.
The MINI is for around town, quick fun trips.

The MINI is my daily driver. However, in bad weather (AKA, last winter) I use an 02 Dodge Dakota quad cab.
It is nice to have a truck, as in last week, hauling 20 boxes of hardwood flooring back from the Depot. And mulch, topsoil etc.

My car of 25 yrs
My 2011 Clubman S (two weeks old) replaced a 10yr old Jag XJR that just blew up after over 12K worth of CPR. I've had a 67 MGB for 25 years & it is like my right arm. It loves it's new garage roomie!!!

My other car is my wife's SG/SG '03 MINI and her second car is my BRG/W '02 MINI.
I'm not counting the '84 Renault Encore that I really need to get out of the driveway or the '67 AMC Marlin in the garage (with no engine or tranny)!

My other car is a 2009 Ford Flex aka my "soccer dad" car. It also comes in handy for interstate family trips when I travel with my wife and teenage twins.
I got my MCS in August as a weekend toy and guess what - it's now my daily driver. The only days I don't drive it is when my wife beats me to it. I'm trying to convince her to trade in her 2008 Volvo wagon for a Clubbie. We'll see how that goes!

Car I owned when I first purchased the MINI was my 93 VW Corrado VR6.
Far from ordinary, far from stock. T04S 60-1 turbo, open downpipe and open wastegate (I lost a lot of hearing to this car lol), with an AWIC, Schimmel short runner intake (cast aluminum), and a TON of other stuff to boot.
Now my MINI is my daily (already modded too much to be a daily haha) and my 2005 R1 is my fun in the summer time
.
BTW, Always wear protection
