Daily Drivers

[zombieglock]

Yours is in better shape than mine


I need new motor mounts, need to fix the trunk that has a broken lock from where someone crowbar'ed it open... needs electrical issues fixed and who knows what else? Cosmetically though, looks good on the outside though! Could use a washing though... but heck, I don't care.

I mean... it's a $900 car. It runs and performs like you'd expect for $900... haha.

Mine only had 92k miles. It was in a flood, they wouldn't total it out. I got screwed. haha.

I still have parts for it that I haven't sold yet, haha.

They are good little cars, and not bad looking. Hopefully it keeps going for you!

My daily driver is a 1972 Chevy pick up. Not the black/white one, I just sold it , the green/green one in the background. 10mpg average. If I have to drive over 50 miles I have a 87 Chevy with a diesel, but I like driving the 72 better. View attachment 31189

Nice! That's the way to do it! I had a '72 loved that truck. Next year I plan to buy a 73-80 shorty step side for a daily. I like the 67-72 better, but we've got a '78 now and it's a better daily IMO. I like my 67-72s nice and shiny and my square bodies rough and ratty.

Currently stuck in a 2002 pontiac Grand Prix gt, 3.8 with 170,000 runs and drives perfect, I plan on being the last owner.

2008 Honda Element. Not that great on gas but it's paid for and haven't had a single problem with it. No pic as I am too lazy to walk outside and take one.

Didn't really want to start a new post, so I'll revive this one. I picked up a new daily driver the other day. My 2011 Lancer had a suspension rattle, needed new brake calipers in the rear, and new tires. after some thought I decided to start looking around for a new ride as i new at 160,000 miles the Lancer was probably gong to start costing me in repair bills.

I settled on a 2014 Lexus IS 250 F Sport with 58,000 miles. It is completely stock and in immaculate condition. This thing is a blast, the 2.5L V6 has plenty of pep and rear wheel drive just makes everything better. The IS 350 (same car basically, but with a 3.5L V6) would have been more fun, but it would have gotten me in trouble I'm pretty sure.

Wow, blast from the past. I'll update my ride from the gray BMW I had in post #62 to my current silver 2008 BMW M3.

I'd make a Beamer owner joke here, but I drive a Hyundai Elantra Touring that looks like a little station wagon. I love the little car, but I might rightly be held up to ridicule.

Well this is not a rice rocket or a Challenger but fellas, this thing is a sweet heart.
03 SLS loaded out with 66K on the clock. The larger NorthStar offering. Been kept up very well. Knew the original owner. Gave us a sweet deal and impossible to pass. CKW loves this thing.
It should take us down the road a bit until I decide whats next.

This is replacing the red conversion van in front of it.

That's a sharp looking ride CM!

 

[KellyinAvon]

Nice ride CM! It looks like it spent most of it's 18 years in the garage.

formerly owned by a drug dealer?

It is nothing that I would have ever considered shopping for. Ever. But in the reality this thing is seriously sporty. Not a rocket but it will move out smartly. Stops and turns. Rides smooth.
It was my buddys dads car. He passed last December I think. He bought it new. It had just gotten tires/brakes and a full service before he took sick. Sat at least 6 months. I was helping get the estate ready and we went to get the car out of the garage where it had stayed since new. Had to put a new battery in it. Lit right up.
They have so much to deal with I was going to sell it for them. Went to get it and he offered it to me at a price I would have been a fool not to take. So I did.

My first car (1960 Olds 98 with just about every option available at the time) came from Dad's former boss. We got it in 1976 and it had been sitting in a garage for (I think) 5 years. Engine was locked up, but soaking the cylinders in diesel fuel freed it up. Only had like 30K miles on it at the time. Man I miss that car, even though Dad slapped an Earl Scheib paint job on it. He was, shall we say... "frugal". I think the original paint was better (all white) than the 2-tone Scheib job (left the original paint on the roof and painted the rest a powder blue).

I had a 56 Chevy with that God awful lite green lemon aid looking color. Horrendous.

Took us a full weekend and a crap load of sand paper to get back down to the original paint. Primed over the original and shot it a dark Jade. All in the driveway. Lacquer paint was the . Another sanding party and buff outs......Bingo.

You could do that out on the farm.

Wow. Longest post in INGO history.

I did that once, posted a GIF incorrectly. Had to have CM fix it for me.
