22,380 miles in 368 days of ownership, every bit for fun, seriously. Every bit.

I had that mindset when I got my first "nice" car. I ended up never driving it, and sold it, because I was always worried that I was "wasting" miles. If I am considering a "not fun" trip where I will sit in traffic for hours or whatever I'll just take the bus.

Track is fun and all but it is always a planned event which I have only so much tolerance for and can do so often.

yep to each there own. i must be getting old. dont enjoy getting crazy on the street even on back roads much. thats how i started out in this car and found better solution. i do however like to take certain entrance ramps at 2x+ the posted speed at times.

Rather than do "pointless trips", I take the very long way to many destinations on the weekends when need be. For example, when I need my cup o' starbucks, I take a nice twisty mountain road and some fast speed highways to a "nice" starbucks.
Two birds with one stone! |

And while Car Meets are fun sometimes, the main reason I go is to drive to them and back I can only stand around chatting about a car I want to be driving for so long... |

New here, just bought a '12 6MT e93 and its just sex. Downshifting and hearing that v8 scream up to 8000rpm as the wind rushes past my face is quite an experience I want over and over.

Most weeks I'll take my e93 into the canyons and down to the coast for a two hour drive: top down, no music ('cept the engine), just me. The SF bay area is great for this, yesterday I went from windy mountain roads at 84 degrees to foggy coast at 64 degrees in about 30 minutes ... and along the way through redwoods, pine forest, and vineyards. Awesome! |

I had a consulting gig in Albany, NY and used to pick up RT 8 from Winsted CT, to Becket, MA when I had my '99 Boxster, and '02 Cooper S. In 3 years of driving that route twice a month, I never got tired of it. If you ever get over to Lime Rock Park, give that a try on the way back to Mass.

I usually take it out a lot just for fun, but get annoyed after because I have bug splatters on the entire front bumper

Two or three times a week I go for spirited and scenic drives. I can't imagine having an M3 and not going on fun drives to nowhere. The M3 certainly makes it about the journey and not the destination.
