[T3] "daily driver"

In thinking about my driving habits and the actual wear and tear on my ISPW
OTT exhaust and Por-15 paint over six years of "daily driving" I definitely
should qualify that. I drive the square at least 5 out of 7 days, but my
maximum average drive is ~15 minutes on the freeway to work, and I have not
taken a single drive farther than 150 miles since 2007. Hence, all of the
wear has been in relatively dry Socal, and the car is garaged nightly. This
is incomparable to the wear I was putting on the different exhaust
systems/paints for ~15 years in the S.F. Bay Area which is much wetter, and
where I didn't ever have a garage. To boot, I was driving the ~6 hours to LA
on Hwy 5 in summer and winter (variations from over 100 degrees and dry to
below 30 degrees and snowy over the Grapevine) at least 3-4 times per year,
which I haven't done a single time with this OTT/Por-15. So depending on
your state and/or driving habits and/or parking situation YMM-definitely-V
from my experience with these products.
