What do ferrari owners use as DDs

Lexus LS460 and in good weather HD Screaming Eagle Deuce.

 

2013 5.7L Hemi RAM 1500 4x4 quadcab. Can do almost anything, go almost anywhere pretty inconspicuously and is fun to drive. Does not compete with my Cali 30 for gas mileage.

 

One very tricked out 2012 Ford Raptor

BMW Coupe and wagon

 

Tesla Model S.

 

I drive a nunya damn. There, I "posted up".

 

Great post idea as I've wondered myself. For me a black 2006 VW Jetta TDI. Car is great and a workhorse w/ great mileage. Thought about upgrading to Maser QP or vantage in the coming year as my commute is less nowadays. But in the meantime happy with the Jetta.

 

Golf R or QX56 depending on duties.

 

True... could end up being the longest thread on F-Chat, ever.

 

In order of most frequent use
a) I walk to work every day.
b) 2003 Porsche Boxster S (driven about 1 day a week)
c) Triumph 675 Street Triple (about once every other week)
d) 1995 F355 Spider (about once every other week)

 

my dd is a 456mgt. has been for 7 years. life is too short

 

2009 Mini Cooper S

This thread is becoming really interesting. It seems most people who buy exotics don't buy another exotic like a bentley, maserati, aston, porsche for their DD.

 

I did. DD is a maser gt sport.

Silverado quad cab and Nissan Leaf.

 

Wife a BMW X3.

Me a 2001 VW Polo with 3 galloping chipmunks.

I occasionally travel roads and trails where getting run over by armored vehicles is unlikely but possible so I don't want to have to worry about a car that is worth anything.

 

The term "exotic" is highly subjective.

In the D.C. area, I get the odd jerk trying to block the "rich b@#$ard in the Ferrari".
Ironically, it's usually a luxo SUV that's worth more than my 25 year old 328.

My 328 was my summer DD in MA. For winter, I had a Celica GT-four ("AllTrac"), derived from WRC, that was rarer than the Ferrari.
I actually bought the 328 to take the summer load off the aging GT-four, because there wasn't a good replacement available in the US in '99.

You should see how annoyed people in nose-heavy Jeep Wagoneers get when some Celica blows past them in the snow.
But handling in the snow requires the same things as handling on the track. Both involve handling at the limits of traction. You just reach those limits much earlier in the snow.

Since then, I've replaced the Celica with an EVO VIII. I've ordered an EVO X to replace the 10 year old VIII.
(And the EVO X MR will be worth more than my Ferrari.)


To me, most of the things Detroit turns out drive like the controls aren't even connected.
I conclude that most cars are built for people who shouldn't be behind the wheel to begin with, and are designed to ignore incompetent inputs.
Look how many driver aids like auto brakes and auto park are being added to cars, lately.

These days, anything that expects the driver to actually *drive* is getting to be an "exotic".

"Drive" is a verb, not a gear.

 

Old Jeep Grand Chrk. The thing won't die and I've never driven anything better in snow-except a 308 GT4 if you're not planning on getting that far

 

Sorry, I had to edit my post.

I thought this thread had something to do with bra size.



I had a Dodge Dakota but was costing me a fortune on repairs. So went with a Toyota Tacoma. Great pickup truck.

 

A 1989 560SL enjoy that car every day

When the cold-start problem with my 328 (B-car) is sorted out it'll be my daily driver. As it is now a C6 with 119,000 miles on it is my DD.
