My 08' is a daily driver and here in the PNW it rains alot.

The car is awesome and I never get tired of "having" to drive it.

Two nit picky things come to mind:
1.) It's tough to figure out how close you are to a front curb
2.) It gets HOT in the center console and emits heat onto my right leg

However... it rarely gets above 65 here

Not really. The interior volume of the vert is quite a bit smaller, and does not resonate at the same engine frequences as the coupe. An awful lot of low frequencies reflect off the coupe's large rear glass.

Default Every Day, Brother....

I recently bought my used 2011 C6 with 10K miles on it... Certainly I would like to have a second vehicle to be able to keep some miles off of it, but I don't! Therefore, when i bought it, I knew going in that the only way I was going to be able to afford it was if it was my only car... But then I realized, hey... what could be better than driving a badass car every single day??? Sure, I may rack up miles on it (I average 250-300/week), but it makes it more worth it "actually" driving it every day. I do live in TX, so will have to curb it on those 2 ice days we get per year... But when I get too many miles on it, I'll just trade it in on a newer one!

BMW has a really cool overhead camera view. Somehow they stretch side camera video into what appears to be an overhead view displayed on the multipurpose screen in the dash. You can see the curbs and wheel stops getting closer as if you were directly above the car looking down at everything. Beats beeping sensors in your bumper any day.

Not really. The Coupe's hatch area acts like the top half of a megaphone. All the resonation gets bounced forward for the driver's listening enjoyment.

With the vert, it has a regular trunk, so the resonation doesn't get the megaphone treatment.
