rm: i have that exact situation and i will say that you'd be best off diversifying and getting a sedan or a sporty suv as a dd.
the 997 would just get neglected w. the 360 near.
that's my opinion.

JP,
After this morning I would have to agree. I have some architectural and law books that I will be bringing into my office from home. In my trunk (mercedes E50) is (5) Stor-all-boxes and (4) 24 x 36 boards (zoning maps) my computer bag and a carrier that I CAN transport from the house to the office. If I had a 911, It would take me atleast 3 trips or having to deal with my wife telling me " I told you the 911 is too small for your daily needs" I have been checking out the Cayenne with 22's or another mercedes - luxury sport
The 911 would give me back me the ability to goof around on the weekends with the family Wife and 2 small kids which is priceless

I have 10,500 miles on a 997S cabrio since last August. It is eminently suitable as a daily driver under all driving conditions. The only change I would make, if in a more northerly, snowy climate, would be to get a second set of wheels with winter tires. The driveability of the car is absolutely superb. As easy to drive as an economy car.
The only thing I find a problem is that it takes 10 miles minimum to bring the temperatures up and I don't like to run it too many short trips without getting it hot.
