    On a twisty road, sub 90 mph, in the Model 3, none of my friends, in any of their cars, can catch me.

    Just traded my F10 M5 CP for a 550. Suspension in the CP was killing me.

    I have about 1k miles on my 2018 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. Has the phenomenal fit and finish of a Porsche, tons of cargo space, and I've done 650 miles since last fill up with a projected 120 more to go before empty. What's not to love about that!

    A comfortable and totally capable pickup is my choice. 2020 GMC AT4 with the 6.2 liter V8 engine and ten speed transmission. Love this thing and it gets huge use from the whole family. It’s become our road trip vehicle.

    2006 Honda Ridgeline. Quarter million miles.
    We've been from Key West to Northern California with it. Park it anywhere, go anywhere. The wife and I were bopping around some unpaved back roads with it the other day. Love this truck...T

    Hello,

    My current daily is a Mercedes-Benz S560 Twin Turbo 4Matic. I’ve driven only SonderKlasse Benzes as daily drivers for the last 32 years. I put brutal mileage on them most years and up until a few months ago, I had three of them in my garage.

    They have lots of room, offer a very smooth ride for long drives on bad roads and with the addition of the turbos, they are quite fast for a car that weighs almost 5k pounds. They are not cheap to own by any measure, so if you keep it past the warranty, get ready to drop a blo*dy shed load of Quid when it needs repairs. Cheers!

    I dd a 2003 Ford Ranger 4x4
    We bought it new and it has been a reliable get around (107k miles). I have a habit of keeping our cars until I need to get new ones.
    It is the only thing that comes out of the garage during the Winter when there is snow on the ground.
    I call it my grandpa truck as it is way under the radar.
    My moto is if you have a house, you need a truck (or a friend with a truck).

    Sometimes it is better for me not to let everyone else know what I have to drive for fun.

    Best wishes,
    Gene Greer

    As a lifelong "car-guy" I used to prefer AMG's as DD's. But since moving to a Tesla Model S p 85D Insane in 2015, it was hard to move away from all the convenience and tech updates that Tesla has afforded as a daily driver. Autopilot has truly changed the world for DD's. In 2016 I upgraded the model S to Ludicrous mode. In 2019 I considered going to a model 3 performance, but the practical side in me I moved up to a newer body type Model S 100D due to the longer range. It is still fast enough on the street as a DD, and continues to amaze me with all the updates that we get as Tesla owners. Tesla's are truly like driving smart phones, and once you get used to using all the features to make your life easier and convenient. When waiting for the kids at Piano lessons, or soccer practice, I can stream Netflix, play some pretty cool video games, and even do some work in the car. I find it quite hard to move away from the Tesla experience in a DD. I look forward to upgrade this next year to either the facelifted S Tri motor- plaid or Cybertruck Tri motor-plaid.

    Range Rover Sport Diesel. I usually have some sort of Range Rover full size model. I tried a sport this time for easier parking. Suits me well. Last year I drove a Maserati GranTurismo for a year daily and miss it but needed the functionality of an SUV. I think RR’s are still quite hard to bear for a daily suv

    2015 GMC 2500 with a diesel. As is standard practice for me, stock wasn’t good enough so I put a tune on the truck. I thought the truck was much improved, so I called the tuner and asked him how much more we could get out of the truck. Today it’s sporting a built transmission, lift pump, stroker high pressure pump and a compound turbo kit. At 650 or so wheel horsepower it’s a blast! Sadly for the truck it will be moving outside once the 488 moves in, I’ve got to get working on an addition for the garage.
