Default anyone daily drive there R?

just curious how many actually drive your R's 3-4 times a week? or if they are just track cars? or trophies in your garage you drive once a week, only in the summer, etc.

winter storage aside of course for those in shitty climates.

This poll has missed the point why most are UNABLE to drive their cars everyday: low-life scumbad thieves and the people who buy their stolen part.s

Generally speaking, when are cars stolen? Between 2am-6am, that thought process is flawed. It assumes that "no one" is out. I am not trying to be harsh, but rather pointing out the obvious facts I see.

Truthfully...
Cars are meant to be driven everyday. I get how its hard for us because of thieves.
I say buy an alarm...(a nice one) and drive your R the way it should be driven

Yup drive it mostly everyday. But I don't take it to the mall, movies, etc, well since it was almost stolen at the mall once I haven't and probably will never again.

It is not the alarm that saves your car, it is the alarm + install that saves your car. An alarm is not effective unless the install makes it effective. To add, an alarm is completely useless when the - terminal on the battery has been disconnected. That is why a backup battery unit is essential in protecting your car. The next step is real-time GPS, so that if/when your car is stolen you can personally track it...instead of waiting for the police to call you when/if it is found.
