Who here has more than one summer car?

Excluding a basic DD for work, does anyone have 2 or 3 sport cars + the daily? What do you got?

I don't daily my 'summer sports car', but I do drive it weekly. Usually on Friday's I will take it to work - sometimes more often if the weather is nice. I try to avoid driving it in the rain.

We have 4 cars total. Not sure if any are considered 'summer cars', though.

In Florida, i don’t think we have ‘summer’ cars because we don’t have winters that the summer cars are put into hibernation for.

But let’s say daily drivers vs. weekend/special occasion/leisure drivers? My family has 3 daily drivers, and i have 4 of the second category

Daily drivers:
Macan GTS
M4 GTS
Mini Cooper JCW GP (R56)

Not daily drivers:
E46 M3
911 GT3
GT4
McLaren 570s

I have my e90 335i with upgraded turbos and all the fun stuff for a weekend car, but daily a 00 turbo civic. Manual trans with coilovers and it's a blast to drive. Sure isn't the fastest, but 300hp in that thing is super fun

Driving the 458 must feel so awesome after driving the Civic all week

An M2 is my only car. It is so great that I don’t need any other cars.

I had the F type and SLK350 at the same time but they didn't get used enough so I sold them both when I bought the Z4. Now down to two DD's, one sportscar and two motorcycles.

I have an electric commuter, my track/weekend M3 CS, my family SUV, and a spare econobox Honda Civic for general purpose. I'd love to trade my Civic for something like a track prepped Miata, but too many family members use it and a stripped Miata with a cage and harness isn't as practical as a Civic.

i'll still drive the 458 or m3 2-3 times a week. The civic is just there to keep miles off both cars. As soon as I get home at 6pm it stays parked and the other cars are used.

And it doesn't hurt that during the rainy days I don't have to take the M3 out and get it dirty.

If I worked close to home i'd sell the civic.
400 miles a week on the m3 adds up quick: depreciation, rock chips, gas cost (93 octane vs 87), insurance, etc.
