What is your daily driver?
 

I'm renting a 2020 Camaro SS conv. My first modern sports car in quite some time. I think it has all the bells and whistles. The thing is a beast. Paddle shifters, tiptronic type, auto 10-speed trans. Awesome sound when it starts and you punch it. You have to be VERY quick to shift the trans. with the paddles or stick. Those first few gears makes it redline quickly. Four driving modes - tour, sport, track, something else that I forget. It is hard to see out of with the little windows. But, THAT MOTOR and trans!

6th Gen 'Mero is a very decent platform. :yesnod:

My C7 vert is my DD.

[C7 gen] what do you do if it rains? [C7 gen]

just bought a 2021 Tahoe Z71. Has 3k miles on it already. So far i'm liking it a lot

Truth. :rofl:

Truck, Sierra Denali

C5 vert

Oh and when it rains the wife takes me to and from work

Not in the C5, her Denali

2020 BMW M240i

Used to DD LilRed, but try to just do ‘pleasure drives’ now since it’s getting close to 170,000 miles.

2020 ram 1500 Limited. I actually really like it, for the first 10k miles its been to the dealer once for an oil change, a great change from the denali who had at least three warranty claims by this point.

2020 Ram 1500 Laramie. I’m loving this truck. Nicest truck interior I’ve ever been in in a truck.

I split time between my 50th AE convertible and a Ram 2500 Cummins 4X4.

2018 Chevy SilverRAYdo.

2019 Colorado

2020 F-350

2004 ford f150 lariat, about 160,000 miles. Love it.

The new RAM 1500 is an awesome truck. However, I have no regrets trading mine for the '20 Gladiator. The only regret I have with the Gladiator is that I didn't buy it instead of the RAM.

Alternate between the truck and the Coupe, sometimes the wife's MDX. The Z is for weekend fun.

I’m poor so my DD is a 97 Buick Riviera. It’s the supercharged model so I do have that going for me.

20 King Ranch F-150. Nicest and best truck I ever owned

My FIL recently purchased the 2021 model in white, and he loves it. :seasix:

I have been driving the wife’s 328GT more as her back issues have made my Caddy SUV more comfortable for her.

2015 Silverado.

DD?

2012 Avalanche

Depends on the weather.
A 2019 Dodge Ram 6.7 Turbodiesel or a 2012 'Vette. :seasix:

When our daughter started driving, I gave her my 2008 Lexus ES350 and bought my wife a Honda Pilot. Now I drive my wife's old car... a 2010 Buick Enclave.

My DD is a 16 Toyota Tundra 4X4. Being this is the winter its equipped with a Fischer plow and about 500 pounds by the tailgate for traction on my rather nasty hilly curved driveway. My wife's DD is a 20 4x4 SUV. Ah life in upper NY State.

Nice days, this, not so nice days, that.

I know I just met you, and this is crazy, but I drive my Z06 daily from Mid-March through October.

From November until the Z06 comes out of storage I drive this:

At least you got yourself a practical winter beater... :lol:

With proper winter tires it's just as good as any other rear wheel drive car.

I run Bridgestone Blizzak DM-v2 tires and I have no issues.

I've been driving V8 powered Chargers in the winter since 2007. Proper winter tires and commons sense go a long way...

I see people with AWD vehicles driving like turtles every time it snows. Why even bother with the AWD then?

1992 Typhoon and 1991 Syclone.

Daily: '14 Tacoma Regular Cab 4x4, Auto, 4 banger. "Slow Poke"

Fun: '17 Mustang GT, 6 Speed, Ingot Silver

2020 GMC Terrain Denali

My DD is an '07 C6 convertible. Just passed 100k miles. I avoid driving it in the rain unless it's already dirty but it's seen more than its share.

2017 Mercedes C300 4Matic Coupe

I'll tell you why.

Because all tires are not created equal. Goodyear tires suck dick.

97 DeVille, dark Burgundy in color, 125k on it. Wonderfully riding car that gets good mileage for a land yatch. I expect 200 to 250k out of it easily. Plenty of power with the N* engine. Stock except for a sound system, needed bluetooth and a rear camera.

My 2004 C5.

White 98 low rider
355ci with new gaskets
Grey cloth interior
3 doors
A/C
6 Alpine speakers
2 JL Audio amps
2 Bazooka Tubes
Pioneer Super Tuner
Tonneau Cover
Receiver hitch with 2-5/16" ball, 2" ball
HP valve stem caps.
Allstate Ins.




I have other cars too...some are Vettes believe it or not. :woohoo:

'72 vette vert, nothing stock wheels to roof, stem to stern, except the chrome bumpers, it gets run outta the garage for a typical 2-8 mile round trip to the store and back, maybe 3-4 times/week.....

I had that exact same car. Black, chrome wheels. The dash reminded me of a boat. I've got a picture around here somewhere.

Hard to believe but 6 years ago, I had 5 cars:
1. 2001 Ford F-150 Crew Cab
2. 2013 Honda CRV
3. 2005 Ford Ranger
4. 2005 Honda Accord
5. 1996 Chevy Corvette

For my DD, I have a 2016 Subaru Outback, and the wife has the 2013 Honda CRV.

Huge Merc fan. I regert selling my SL500. A LOT.

How is the jeep on the highway though? If i were to commute to the office its all highway 25mi each way. I keep threatening to give my wife the Ram and get a POS wrangler for around the neighborhood, but theyre so terrible on the highway.

I tried to impress you with my HP valve caps and grey cloth interior.
Need pics to be awestruck?

I think it was the Allstate thing. :Jeff '79:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that! :funnier:

My STFU edition isn't quite so fancy but I like it.

So the next question is; who's brand loyal? I've been a GM person since forever. I've never owned a Dodge, and had one Ford 25 years ago.

Absolutely no brand loyalty whatsoever. I buy what I like.

Never bought an import though.

Every car I've ever owned has been from one of the (original) Big 3.

Not brand loyal here. I buy what I like. :shrug:

Mostly GM here, had a couple F150s and a couple Subarus for the wife.
Back to all GM for now.

Depends on whether talking new or used or even classics.
Older cars I'd buy pretty much any manufacturer, used usually GM but have had all brands(regretted all the Chrysler products however). New it'd be GM as well it's a family thing.

2018 Ram 2500 Laramie w/ Cummins Turbo Diesel.

Great truck :yesnod:

American cars are not imports to Canada.:confused5:

2019 GMC Sierra with the Elevation package.
It's tough trying to keep anything over ten years here as they salt and brine the roads.Miss my '03 ZR2 but it rusted out.:sadangel:

My DD, 2012 E550 cabriolet. 4.7L bi-turbo, ~400 hp :D

2020 F150 platinum, 37000 miles by now. massaging seats rock.
also have a 2013 plain jane f150 with 50k on it for days I need to do actual work that would hurt the feelings of the platinum.

As far as brand loyalty, i might be guilty, i cannot remember a time I havent had an f150 as far back to at least Y2K. Then again when my c8 arrives it will be vette #9 .

Well, you Americans don't consider Dodge/Chrysler/Ford Chevy imports and lots of them are/were made here in Canada.

Ford Edge
Ford Winstar
Lincoln MKX
Chevy Camaro
Dodge Magnum
Dodge Charger
Dodge Challenger
Chrysler 300

Those are just the ones I know right off the top of my head; I am sure there are others.

And Toyota really isn't an import either, since they make them here too. But I still consider a Toyota an import.

To me (and most people) Ford/Chevy/Chrysler(Dodge) are domestic and everything else is an import.

Modern times the waters are very muddy.

But there's a reason the Charger/Challenger/300 say "Designed in Detroit". Because they're all built in Brampton, Ontario, a few miles form where I am sitting right now.

But y'all still call them "American" cars.

I've owned several - Fiat, VW, GM (Chev. Pontiac), BMW, Nissan/Infinity, etc...I live in a small town and the only dealer we have now and have only had for a long time is Ford. I was fairly brand loyal to Chev. until they killed off their small town dealerships. Which I still don't understand why a decade or so ago. I would still most likely be loyal to them, but if I have to travel 25 plus miles to a dealership there are too many others to choose from.

:iagree: I have had 14 or 15 GM's but also VW Bugs, Opel GT,Ford Mustang

If workday, company truck. If not workday and crappy weather, this.

Not even the ones built in Canada. :shrug:

6th Gen 'Mero is built in the US. :yesnod: Dodge Magnum was killed off over 10 years ago.

*Camero.

:leaving:

2010 F-150 Super Crew FX4. Finally hit 100k miles on it last month. My youngest son daily drives the 2001 Corvette.:seasix:

Just slightly busting chops.My reasoning is where the HQ are based.Still consider Toyota a Jap car even if it is a made here.

2005 Mercury Gran Marquis. Great comfy car with 85K miles on it. :kick:

A ten year old truck that just turned 100k? You don't put many miles on a year.

Depends on where I am going...
If it is just to the club/ golf course...Vette #1

If I am going other places....Vette #2

Friend has an 07, very nice ride. We did the maintenance timing stuff last year. Gas tank rotted out the year before. The insulation on tank hold moisture.

I don't get these. No offense.

Understanding a Corvette isn't the most practical thing on the planet these seem even less so. You can carry *some* stuff in it I'm sure. And I've no doubt they're a blast to drive. But as a daily?

:sadangel:

Company truck has free gas (2018 F150) insurance, and payments. I just pay income tax on personal mileage.

Jeep is a vehicle I don't care a lot about and it's a lot easier to wash than either of the other two, so they stay tucked away in crappy weather.

I've had several company trucks over the years. It's a nice perk. Some were such pieces of shit I wouldn't park them in the driveway. It surprised me the company would put their names on such a wreck.

The worst was a Ford Courier. The front end was so bad keeping it between the lines was almost impossible. You'd about have to turn it lock-lock just to keep it going straight. Tow a Miller Big 40 and the front end about came off the ground.

I've had some nice new ones too fully equipped with every hand tool you could ever want.

My '01 vert and my '09 Z06 were daily drivers. :yesnod:

Just bought a 2017 SS used. Mine is a 6MT, but VERY fun to drive really at any speed. Handles as good as I want, rides decent...and ok MPG’s if you can stay out of it. So far I’m batting pretty low on that one.

Buncha ballers up in here.

Mine’s a 2012 Nissan Frontier. :leaving:

DD is a 2019 Ecoboost Mustang w/ 10 speed. Hunting truck is an 04 Ranger Edge that just hit 85K. I like Fords and all my new vehicles for the last 25 years have been Fords.
For toys I just buy whatever strikes my fancy.

I was brand loyal till i bought that new yukon denali. What a POS, probably wont be buying another GM for quite some time, if ever.

My Daily Driver is a Zoom meeting. :yesnod:

Yeah, from my basement. **** you Top.

2019 V6 twin turbo EdgeST.
Just turned 8k miles.
https://i.postimg.cc/gj8XRkMH/20190507-161311.jpg

In that case MS Team here. From my basement. :D

2016 Escape
2017 F-250
2015 Mustang

Whichever I feel like driving.

Do tell. I like that Denali. It's getting into Escalade territory but I like it.

I ride most days of the year. My daily this morning.
Attachment 51201

114! :eek:

My '16 Limited. 103 Twinkie.

Black pin stripes would make that color pop. :yesnod:

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/18249...-1/s-l1000.jpg

Nice!

My '13 shark had the 103

You don't think that would be "too much"?:rofl::rofl:

It was my first ever brand new car, a late model 2015 Denali with the 6.2 and the 8speed transmission. The torque converter had problems throughout they replaced it at 20k miles but it was still acting up. The A/C failed at 48k miles and that was the final straw for me.

Other failures, leaking/failed radio antenna, failed window regulator, rattle in dash, lots of visits for the torque converter vibrations, awful GM service locally given the price of the truck I would have expected better service throughout.

I think that 8 speed transmission is a POS. I had mine in at 4000 miles for some torque converter chattering. They’re claiming it was some fluid recall thing and they’re on their third blend. It’s been OK since the fluid change. That was 35,000 ago so maybe.

Nice!

I have read about those 8 speed auto trans......hoo makes them?? GM??

and I have to ask why??? 4 speeds with O/D seems like enuff........

:issues:

It was all done for maximum fuel economy and there were issues with the 8 speed autos.

I took the 'Mero into the dealer because of the transmission. They couldn't find an issue with it. :rolleyes:

Loved the car, would buy another one, but not with an automatic.

Daily 2018 Jeep Trackhawk, if I can keep the foot out of it MPG isn't too bad. But that 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds, I just can't.

Used to be brand loyal to GM, it will be a long cold day in hell before I give my good money to that bunch of criminals.

Wife's 2008 TrailBlazer SS, 23,000 on the odometer and we have the 2019 Ford Transit Connect for carrying the Berners around, it is their van.

Didn't GM design the 8 speed and Ford the 10 speed. I heard the story Ford saw what GM was doing and walked away from the deal. Both GM 8 speeds I had, one in the Denali and one in the 17 V, were total pieces of shit. The 8 speed in the Hawk has been great.
