I believe when you make astronaut you’re given a T-38 for personal travel, to keep your flying skills sharp.

For use when you are commuting on the freeway to the office?

I’m pretty sure that used to be the case, and may still be.

A friend used to live just south of Patrick AFB (like within sight of the south base boundary), and you could often see the T-38s there, when driving by on A1A. They were like the astronauts’ sports cars.
