Re: what is your daily driver?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who bought a LeMon, liked it more than my daily, and "upgraded"

Currently DD-ing a 1989 535i with 300k miles.  Purchased for $500 over a year ago, I still hope to daily drive it after the cage goes in!

Re: what is your daily driver?

I'm definitely not brand loyal. My daily driver is a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3, my weekend/fun/project car is a 1985 Ford LTD LX, and my race car is a BMW. That also spans 4, 6, and 8 cylinders.

2012 WRX, bought it new and already have 62k miles on it. I kind of drive a lot.
Love it as a daily driver. Makes the winters especially fun.

2001 GS430, bought with bent valves and rehabbed it.  Fast enough, handles really well for a heavy sedan.  Shares a platform with the mkIV Supra I believe.  Stretched and v8-ified.  Auto only, sadly.  But it's comfy enough.

I don't have a DD right now, so I drove Culberson's GS to the last race.  It was niiice (Thanks!).  When he gets a minivan, I'll adopt his GS.

Re: what is your daily driver?

Weird rotation, you'd have to know me to understand:

2013 Boss 302
2010 Dodge Ram Crew Cab
1963 Triumph Herald
1967 Triumph Spitfire

On any given day, there's about as much chance of me driving any one of the four.  Depends on mood, weather, task at hand, and of course whether or not the Triumphs are running...

Re: what is your daily driver?

1991 Honda Accord 5speed with way too loud ricer exhaust. When the factory exhaust system fell off from the rust I got the cheapest stainless steel system on eBay for $200 free shipping and installed it myself. It's almost Rx7 volume.http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/dana_h_acdc/Mobile%20Uploads/1397429631206.jpgOr I drove the wife's dustbuster van

You might be waiting a while ... though I might get a wagon and *then* you could adopt the GS.  Depends on if I convince Lisa to give up the GS300 and have her hang on to the 430.  For some reason she doesn't care about the 80hp difference.

I split it up somewhat evenly between all my vehicles. It depends on which one has gas, what I'm doing or what I feel like driving.
