Daily Driver

some nice cars here I currently drive a 2001 ford taurus se with 131k on the clock. I got it for free just put some parts and labor into it (oil change, tranny flush, wheel bearing) labor was easy and parts were cheap. I'm happy with it, gets me from a to b

 

Not bad. I had a 1994 SHO that I got from the Atl PD that I put an EXTRA 100k on. It ran like a bat out of hell and even had the flashy lights still in it!

 

I love this thread.

 

'99 Pontiac Trans Am, but as soon as I get back from Afghanistan it'll be a '10 Camaro SS.

 

Just traded in the wife's leased 09 TSX on an 07 525i. She was alrady 5k miles over in only a year. They had just knocked the 525 down $4k to $27k, and a white 5 was my wife's dream car. I've still got the 03 Boxster S, but it's up for sale since I'll be gone for 6 months.

 

Best kinda car to get

 

My daily is a Sahara 70 bmw 2002.... It's great fun except for no air conditioning.

Nice Daily!

 

Nice!

I had a fully restored '75 in grade 12/university. Oddly enough, I had more fun driving that than the E46.

 

04 Cayenne S - This car is turning out to be a great jack-of-all-trades daily driver. I didn't think I'd ever say so, having owned mostly air-cooled 911s/914s/930 Porsches in the past. In today's prices for used ones, good value...so far after one year. I have even been averaging 19.7 mpg on a combined hwy/city driving.

03 Boxster - This is my wife's daily driver. Another good value for a sportscar. A couple of months ago, I bought Blizzak tires on OEM wheels for this car and it should be ready to go for the winter. I find out it very solid for a convertible.

 

You will soon wish you had that great TSX back...

 

Just picked this up last week.

1995 Nissan 240sx LE. Might be adding something else in there.

 

1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo. 105+k on the clock.
Purchased in 92 with `1738 miles on the odometer.
Engine has not been apart.
Drive it nearly every day, sometimes switch to 1997 ducati 900ss/sp.

Numbers were from it's SCCA auto-X days.

Wow, that's really impressive! It certainly counters the "Loads Of Trouble, Usually Serious" automotive joke generally associated with Lotus.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I also have a killer commute, although i am at about 80 miles a day..with our terrible traffic situation, it often feels like 400 miles a day...i think a reliable POS can be practical way to lower auto costs...my only concern with small cars, esp Japanese small cars is the potential for occupant injury in even relatively trivial accidents..my uncle owns a body shop and he begs me on a regular basis to sell my Nissan Altima for a stronger bodied car- eg, Mercedes, BMW, Audi , Porsche....

 

always loved the 2002..great car in its day, esp the tii

 

I've currently got a 2003 maxima with 136K miles and my commute these days is usually close to 100 miles a day. Been thinking about trading it in on a jeep, but not sure how I'll like the jeep as a daily driver.

 

2008 Jeep Patriot limited is the wifes car

Mine is a 2009 CTS-V

 

2002 BMW 330ci. Love the e46.

Were those tail lamps tinted at a shop, or did you do them yourself?

Your car looks great. I've been thinking about taking a similar approach to my black on black 944S2.

 

1987 BMW 635csi. 150k, still going strong and fun to drive.
