I did for 8 years until I had to commute 100 miles a day, the 928 did that for 8 months with a few hickups (cracked intake hoses and failing ignition amps) but I retired it due to over $600 in gas a month.
Who knew 16 mpg could be so painful lol.
It got replaced with an A3 TDI that gets around 38 mpg for daily duty.

Probably doesn't really qualify but for the last few months it's been my only car and is driven daily. Puts a smile on my face every time, not to mention people flagging me down and telling me what a great car it is. Has never let me down.
Not used as a daily driver, but in the 26 years I’ve owned a 928, I’ve put about 100,000 miles on them ( or about 4K per year). It puts a smile for every mile!
Drove my 1979 Euro for two years as a Florida daily driver . No problem. Worst part was the no-A\C. The funny part is that it is now well sorted, and I was daily driving it when it wasn't so well sorted out.
When I get a new AC compressor on my 1985, it will probably become my daily.
I daily drove mine for about 6 years on the NJ roads. Sun, rain, snow, ice and those lovely pot holes. Did about 80K miles doing that. She only let me down twice, and both of those were really my fault.
I'd estimate that 75% of my clients use their 928's as daily drivers.
A vehicle that can't be started and driven hundreds of miles, without reservation, is useless and needs additional work.
Semi-retired, as of Feb 1, 2023.
The days of free technical advice are over.
Free consultations will no longer be available.
Will still be in the shop, isolated and exclusively working on project cars, developmental work and products, engines and transmissions.
Have fun with your 928's people!
