Mine's a daily driver. It gets driven every other day since I work 24 hour shifts and my station is only about 7 minutes from my house so the miles stay off of it for the most part.

Get a good tune, wait until the engine is in operating temp. before getting into boost, and do the regular maintenance on it and you'll have years of fun.....

I can't really make an informed guess on the cams because I don't have any. I can say that how long the motor last really depends on the driver. If you get into boost or high rpms N/A at every green light your motor will take a beating regardless.

I've had my blower for 3.5 years and have had zero problems getting into occasional boost. I don't dog the crap out of it like some people do though.

What's your driving style? Lead foot or granny, lol?

Mines daily driven! ...except on days when its below 40 out...or raining....or when I want better gas mileage... On those days I drive my sisters Honda (she graduates college in the fall though, so I'll have to buy a daily driver...hmm the choices the choices!).

Mine is daily driven, until next week.

IMO, if you just do an S-trim w/ a good tune, you can use your car as a DD for as long as you need. I'm to the point that I want to start doing some serious mods, and my car will need to be off the road for several days at a time. So I picked up a beater.
