Hell yes! We drive 'em for fun, right? What's fun about a 3 mile trip? That's like going to the Kart track and only being allowed one lap!

Yea bro...come on man. Sit in your driveway until it warms up?? Take the long way to work? It's not like it's a f'ing indy car. Just f'in drive the damn thing!
I do warm it up a bit, and I don't have the money to waste driving randomly nor the time. But I just was wondering if there were any things to do different that could help, I realize it's nothing special but that doesn't mean I don't want to take care of it. Oh and don't talk to me about driving it more, I drove 25k miles last year she's no garage queen haha.

Take it out on the weekends and drive around to get the oil hot to burn off any condensation. Or buy the cheapest oil you can find and start changing the oil every 3k miles.

Yeah I make 45 minute trips one way on the weekend so it will burn off the crap on the weekend. I'll be sure to just put her through her paces on weekends then. Seems there isn't much else to do other than more frequent oil changes. Guess I'll have to go to the beach every weekend to get a nice long trip in
I change quality oil every 2500 miles in my GT and the wife's Highlander, 1200 miles in the scooter (Burgman 400) because of the extensive use of ball-bearings in the motor. My grandfather told me 50 years ago that "oil is cheaper then engines", still holds true...
Seriously I would just get a bicycle. Like the ones with the pedals.
On the rainy days drive. Or just drive really slow to work every day. Like 10 miles per hour maybe.

Honest to god I though about this, but I live on a 50mph twisty road, (people do more than 50 at times) and this is flat out not a good idea haha.
So it's either a Daytona 675 or just use the GT. For now I have to many bills coming to buy a bike so I'll probably keep using the GT for now. I'll just do more frequent oil changes. Thanks guys!
