BTW.... I see you have a 911 Turbo... if you had to choose between a 911 Turbo and and the M5 for a daily driver.. which would you choose?? I am tempted to get a used 911 Turbo instead of the new M5...
I think it would be challenging to have a 911 Turbo as your only car. In our garage we have the Turbo and a Mercedes C300 (which I'm looking to replace with something bigger and more powerful).

The 911 can't carry much. For me there are times I need back seats, there are times I am stocking up at Costco and need luggage space, or am buying a large object. A sedan or SUV is useful for those purposes.

However if you also have a sedan or an suv and just need a fun daily driver, then a 911 Turbo is a great car. It's drives well, it can be driven in any conditions, it is comfortable. I find ride quality and comfort to be quite acceptable for daily use. As a performance car though I think the 911 Turbo S is the best car you can buy short of a $300k+ exotic. It's an amazing machine.
