Sedan is my daily driver and the Honda 600RR is my weekened toy. But the bike is for sale because I always want to drive my car these days.

Hmmm... theory seems to be holding water so far. Of the 51 coupe owners who've responded, ~18% of them are NOT daily drivers. Of the 22 sedan owners who've responded, <5% are NOT daily drivers.

Ever study statistics? If I ask 1000 people if they've visited California and get 10 "yes" answers, but I ask 100,000 people if they've visited Tibet and get 100 "yes" answers, does that mean 10x as many people visit Tibet as California?

Latest info for the statistically challenged:

Sedan
29 daily drivers
2 not daily drivers
31 total drivers
2 not daily drivers / 31 total drivers = 6.45% are not daily drivers

Coupe
66 daily drivers
14 not daily drivers
80 total drivers
14 not daily drivers / 80 total drivers = 17.5% are not daily drivers

Conclusion: Coupe owners consider their vehicle a "weekend car" more than 2-to-1 over sedan owners.

It's my daily for now and has been since I bought her in June 2005, but I wish she wasn't. I fight traffic everyday and the streets in L.A. can be punishing on my G - so many damn potholes I put about 60 to 70 miles a day on my G.

I'm going to get some beater of a pickup and have my G become my weekend ride. As soon as that happens, she' getting dropped with tanabe's and new wheels!

Well, technically, yes: 10X as many people visited Tibet as oppose to California. You didn't state it correctly. What you should have said is "...of the number of people who were asked if they visited XXXX, XX% said..." That way, there will be no cofusion. However, you are right that there are more Sedans owner that are daily drivers. Speaking of Statistics, you should know that the sample size is too small for Sedans (and Coupes for that matter). It's like flipping a coin: The more times you flip a coin, the closer it will get to being 50/50 of being heads/tails.

Daily driver, here. These cars were built and priced to be driven daily and not meant to be garage queens.
