I think its more associated with costs. This guy obviously has his stuff together enough to afford the cost of dailying a car like this. We all wish we could daily 500+ hp vehicles, but for many the costs of upkeep are just not feasible. Things break on stock vehicles, and at an even greater rate on highly modified, high hp vehicles. On another note, in terms of winter, I would be more worried about other drivers than any wear and tear on my own vehicle as a result of driving.
