i've daily driven my fd every day since i got it right before the new year, including snow duty, this pic was taken the day after bringing it snowboarding with me.

 

This is my summer DD. In the winter I drive an old truck.

 

The audi Q5 S Line is the beater probably buying a 370Z at the end of summer!

 

Heres my DD 2004 AMG C32 with intake & pulley putting down 331 whp.



my old DD before
a 2003 C230, supercharged 4 cyl that sounded like rubber bands. Rims were nice tho!



Now im looking for a E55 or a Tahoe/Yukon. Haven't made up my mind.

my new winter beater:

 

Hopeing to swap a LQ4 in there in the future

 

Well, I have to drive my car FOR work (I do network service calls for a local copier company) so I need something that I can beat on and rack up miles on. I drove the FD for work for a few years which KILLED me.

First daily driver was the infamous Nissan Quest. This is what gave me the idea of swapping to the Quest horns. It was a good van, actually VERY comfortable to ride in, ice cold air. I sold it before something major went wrong with it - had 185,000 miles at the time I sold it.

Current DD is an '02 Ford Windstar. It was my mother-in-law's van, they sold it to us for what they owed on it which was $4500 about 3 years ago, a helluva deal. My wife drove it at first, then we sold the Quest, got her a New Beetle Turbodiesel, and I got the Windstar.

It's not as comfy as the Quest was, but it's been reliable. I'd really like to get something wagon-ish so I can haul things around yet still have 4-cylinder fuel economy. Pretty much any minivan gets 18 city, 21 highway.

Good thing with minivans is they're typically DIRT cheap, dead reliable, big and comfy, and you can actually haul a LOT of stuff in there. Pickup trucks always have a premium around here, even for stripped base models with NO toys. Most minivans have tons of neat gadgets and stuff - hell, our van has a VCR!

Closest thing you can get to the FD experience in a stone reliable dd imo

 

My DD, I'll be looking for something this fall to replace as the DD though. I've been eyeing an RS25 ;-)

 

~300 miles/week with this.

 

here are my dailies:

schwinn madison (fixed gear, no brakes)...found a stock photo of the bike:


and..... THE L TRAIN!


i probably put more miles per year on the bike than my FD.

 

 

My daily POS:



Hey it is fairly reliable and great on gas! Boring as F*CK to drive tho. I am working on saving some cash, so someday my daily will be an STi

 

I daily drove my FD for about four years, but now my '83 Datsun takes all the abuse.

 

Lots of BM's as DDs. FD still has my heart though.....errrr.... wallet

 

 

You sir are now my best friend!! That is the exact combo of vehicles I am trying to have!! I got the FD......working on the STi!

 

Beater+FD+daily rider

 

See the old truck in the back ground that would be the DD

 

I guess that makes 2 of us with the same combo..

 

As of right now but changing it up this summer

Either mk5 gti, g35, s2k, or 350z again

 

My beater: 1991 535i with a manual tranny, LSD, bilstein's w/vogtland springs. It's fun to drive and it doesnt care if I dont change the oil on time. The big trunk and comfy interior are great!

 

I think this si the first FD Ive seen with a roof rack?... doesnt look bad

Im glad its at least functional though not just for looks like most Honda's out there.

 

That roof rack sure looks nice....I want one.
