1985 Chevette only 18000 original miles. Just kidding, its the 2003 Accord in the street. I had to borrow the Chevette from my Father In Law when the transmission went out on the Accord.

Was a 2004 Forrester but my brother is using it as his POS cherokee finally died. Now im using my backup 2001 F250 extended cab. Its a gigantic boat and takes four lanes for a u turn. Ford trucks have the crappiest turning radius. Thats my only complaint about my boy other mpg. Luckily my commute is 1.75 miles. All of 5 or 6 minutes.

2015 Tesla P85D with Ludicrous. And it's definitely a keeper.

91 RS Camaro with almost 400,000 miles on it has been my daily driver since May of 1990, except during winter. RS has been grocery getter, parts hauler for transmissions & engine parts until I got a truck a few years ago. No rebuilds on engine or trans, did 1,300 mile road trips regularly up when the RS was restored last year. Easily the best and most reliable vehicle I've owned. Better than the my Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, BMW 540 and so on for reliability.

06 Tundra for nasty winter weather.

91 RS Camaro convertible shares weekend car duty with the 99 Trans Am & 72 vette.

Daily driver? Really you need to ask? A 1979 C3 corvette, of course. Why the hell would you ever buy one and not drive it everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theoretically my Vette shares daily duty with my '79 F250 and '68 MG Midget. In reality, for the last 6 years the Effie has been my daily 90+% of the time, but I hope to change that once I get the new engine in the Vette. I commute roughly 120km (~80 miles) each day to and from work, I've put over 250,000km (150,000 miles) on it since I bought it 6 years ago.

Nice. My Pro is a hanger queen. My wife found a pair of them in 1999. NOS in original shipping boxes, never out or assembled. I decided to build them up enough to look good hanging. Tires have never been glued (taped).

2015 Subaru WRX. WAY faster than my 57 or 72 Vette. Hell, faster than a 72 LT1, and better in the snow

But not as COOL as a Vette

My daily driver was a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer that I always said I'd drive the wheels off it before letting it go...well...that pretty much happened a few months ago...



I replaced it with a 2016 Ford Explorer...the difference in technology and conveniences is amazing.
