Default As my daily driver, I love coming out of work and seeing my car... --->

What kind of car do you have now?

Aside from the joy of seeing my car, I absolutely love driving in it. In the first two weeks I owned it, I put about 2k miles on it and have since decided to lay off a bit, although that certainly doesn't mean I'm not driving it--just not going on roadtrips.

Aside from being WAY more fun to drive, the TT Coupe has more storage space than my Wrangler.

Hell, I WISH I had a 50 mile commute every day. I'm hard pressed to find excuses to go out driving. It's about time I go out for a cruise though.

Default Not exactly...

It's a foregone conclusion that the TT will spend some time in the shop. A second car helps around this. Further, it's a jungle out there: roads and parking lots alike. Having a "let's go anywhere" car, makes trips to the airport with relatives possible, as well as trips to Home Depot.

My TT is the Motorcycle that I had to give up. It is (for me) purely for driving pleasure, not for work. It simply isn't cut out for it. Yes, it has more utility than a S2000, but they exist to serve similar purposes, in my mind. And I'm a lot happier since getting a second (first?) car.
