2007 Convertible (3LT/M6) for when the weather's nice and I don't want to drive the '62; new Impala for when the weather's bad or I need more seats, wife has a new Honda Accord. We are at our condo in Florida for the winter, have a nice low-mileage Chevy S-10 pickup down there.

Toyota Tundra is the daily driver. Vette has been on blocks getting a new clutch. Can't wait to have it on the road again. Tundra is the best vehicle I've ever had in terms of reliability and toughness. Vettes always win though in terms of most fun, coolest, etc.

I don't commute because I'm retired but my DD is a 2014 Porsche Carrera S and my alternate DD is a 2013 Bentley Continental GTC V8. Don't hate me because I'm fortunate.

I would only hate you if you had a Mclaren.

When I'm not commuting (120 miles a day) in the '64, I drive either a 2009 Audi S5 (kinda fast) or a 2003 Suburban. The wife has a 2006 Audi A3 (3.2L V6, AWD),(Very Quick!).

We have 2002 Z71 Silverado and 2005 Cobalt SS and for those non-stop direct flights a 1969 Beechcraft V35A Bonanza. Cobalt was my daughters car but she swapped with her mom for her 2011 Equinox. Bought the truck, SUV and SS new and all have been rock solid reliable.

Driving in Los Angeles, it takes me 1:15 to go 17 miles each way to and from work. I'll admit I broke down in '08 and bought a prius. Though I'm looking at a Chevy Volt soon. Either way, I get my miles per gallon from the commuter during the week and Gallons per Mile in my '65 on weekends!

I've got a Z06 a SS Camaro and a 1960 Corvette, but you can catch me daily in my 2008 Honda Civic :) I decided a long time ago instead of watching my money disappear on new car going down in value I would drive an economy car and buy my dream cars with the difference. The plan has been in effect for 14 years and I have had a 88 Civic, 99 Neon, 05 Accord and a 08 Civic along the way :)

The 65 is my daily driver. I also have a Tacoma TRD 4x4 for hauling stuff and when it snows. I think the 65 gets better gas mileage than the TRD!

I used to have an R8 Spyder V10. Does that qualify?

Neither of us commutes (retired 14 years ago), so our daily driver needs are pretty mundane; hers is a 2013 Chrysler 200 Limited V-6 (leather, sunroof, etc.), mine is a 2013 Dodge Avenger R/T V-6. The classics are the '67 Corvette and '69 Camaro Z/28. :thumbs:

2014 Charger "Black Top" but really this time of year I put more miles on the 62.

Last month we bought a 2014 Dodge Durango Citadel. Has a 360 hp Hemi and 8 speed ZF transmission. Last three daily drivers were Chevy Suburbans, but didn't like the new 2015 redesign so we went for the Durango:

Ford 2014. 4x4, Crew Cab, Platinum, F-350 long box diesel. :cheers:

I drive a 2013 Dodge Challenger, a pleasure to drive, not a pain in the butt (literally) like the ‘64:lol:

<=== 2006 c6

Plasticman 07-23-2014 10:41 PM

Retired, but we drive a 2005 Dodge Hemi Magnum (great for riding around with the dog, grocery getter, etc.), and a 2003 Vette 50th Anniv. convertible.

I'm retired driving a Toyota Tundra CrewMax daily and my '59 Vette every now & then for fun. Funny, both get the same gas mileage, 17 mpg.

mashinter 07-24-2014 05:54 AM

The 300C is the daily driver. The wife wanted adjustable pedals and I wanted the Hemi.
