Default What do you drive daily?

We have had threads about what you have in your garage(impressive), or what have you owned in the last 10 years(some of us need counseling). The question this thread is interested in is what do you Drive daily? Do you have those moments when your in your mundane DD(Hyundai Veloster) and a nice car passes you and you wish you were in your vette. Not for showing off purposes, but you just wish you were driving it.

2017 Toyota Avalon, touring model. Options include:

- Gutless 290hp 6 cylinder motor
- Who cares paddle shifters
- Why bother sport mode

I put the car in sport mode, turned off traction control and paddle shift 0-60. Pulled over on the side of the road and wept openly. Soul sucking, uninspiring, basic transportation.

Picked up a 17 Ford Raptor for DD duty in May. Got rid of my DD 16 M3 so I could get the Z06. Had to have the V8 again. I've been jealous of all of you since 2010 when I first drove a GS.

2015 prius. The worst engineered car I have ever driven. That includes handling, braking, visibility ergonomics, etc. But, the car is bulletproof reliable. Best part is its a NYC official car...

30,000 miles a year in the 2015 Isuzu box truck and 0nly 2000 a year in the Corvette but at least the truck pays for my C7 Z06!

I drive the same car you see in my signature. I always drive my best car, and the C7 is by far the best. Not going to save it. If it wears out we'll get another one. I'm going to soon anyway this Fall or winter. Z06

A striped down base model Toyota Sienna minivan. strangely when I another nice sports car drive by in the minivan, I take comfort in how comfortable I am sitting in the minivan vs the other driver.
