Daily Driver

I thought it would be interesting to see what everybodys' daily driver is.

So, what is it?

A couple of years ago my commute went from 6 miles to 100 miles per day. Spring '08 I was spending north of $500/month in gas alone to drive my ML500 everyday. I got to a point where I was like "*** this bull****, I'm pi**ing away thousands and for what?" I resolved to find the absolute cheapest way to get to work considering running costs and depreciation.

I concluded an old Honda Civic would be ideal. Depreciated out, good gas mileage, extremely reliable. I found a '95 Del Sol Si (SOHC VTEC, not the fun one) for barely more than what the sales tax was on my ML. 120k miles. After spending a perhaps $300 on replacing a few parts like the driveshafts and rotors & pads and tune up, the car runs well and gets about 32-ish no matter how I drive it. Had it now for 26k miles and 15 months, will probably keep it another 5 years or more. As long as it runs and everything works I should get most of my money back. Wish it were a stick for better mileage, but the auto is so easy when I'm half asleep in the mornings. There is some weird satisfaction to driving a car that is 1/20th of what you could afford, people where I work cannot figure it out.

Do I like it? No. It is a complete P.O.S. But someone in my family does. Disabled the airbags because my daughter (4 y.o.) rides with me. She loves to take the top off and ride and unlike car seats in the back, she can hold hands with me in this two-seater. She doesn't know it is a piece of junk, she just likes how the two of us use it.

Still drive the ML when the weather is bad or I need to haul something, but it only snows a few days each winter here.

 

Smart car.

 

2004 Honda Element I put over 250,000 miles on it no problems just replaced brake pads and spark plugs. I love this car and think I will replace it with another one.

I had German cars for daily drivers and they were complete junk.

 

When did you get that? Grad school must be paying better these days??

I'm considering a litre bike. I've driven a friends Honda SP1 to work recently and it was much more relaxing with all that torque
