Tach, a RB can be a great daily. BUT when something breaks it can be a world of hurt. everyone that asks me about using a RB as a daily i tell them to have a good backup beater car available to use for long periods of time. my car has only had a couple parts fail over the years ive had it in but sometimes it can take an easy week to get something.

just keep that in mind.

I've daily driven mine for over a year now.

Like it has been said already, if you keep your foot out of it and keep your maintenance up, no problems.
