    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.

    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 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.

    Sorry, I had to edit my post.

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



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

    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.
