Your Daily Driver

12-10-2012, 09:47 PM

Ken love the ST! If I hadn't got the Veloster in September I would have held out for that one for sure.

Sadly no race cars in my stable....but several fun daily drivers.

The most recent purchase is a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, that made its maiden voyage to Bristol this past fall for the D2 race. Followed closely by my 1973 BMW 2002, that has become not only a daily driver, but my tow dinghy car to take to the track. She was a hit a Reynolds. Yes I do drive it every day....either to drop my daughter off at school or pick her up.
Then I have a faithful 2001 Ford F150XL with power NOTHING...basic and a keeper! (no picture...you all know what they look like!)
Can't count the Corvair as a daily driver. She is the garage princess at the Vermont house, but did make an appearance this year at Lebanon Valley!

Here's what I drive MORE than anything else. LOL

Chad Rhodes · 12-10-2012, 10:00 PM

2011 crew cab 1500 silverado. Nothing special, typical contractor's truck

Nice cars everyone. Scott, the Mini's are cool and yours looks great. I need a set of black wheels too. I thought I was going to keep my car stock, I guess its hard to take the hot rodder out us.... gotta get a tune too!

Karen, that Corviar was way cool.

Ed, you drive a Ford?...lol...tell me there's a stick in that one.

2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab...with a HEMI of course!!!

Yes Ken believe it or not, but in this case I have no choice, The Department is in the process of switching to Dodge Chargers so ill be driving a Mopar. LOL

Ed Wright · 12-10-2012, 10:51 PM

Nothing new here. Red '98 WS6 Trans convert, tan top.

I saw the beutiful vehicles you guys drive down in the rust free states and thought I'd share an eastern Canada rust bucket.
Bought it 7 years ago at an auction for $1200.
93 f-350 4 door diesel, just rolled over 800,000km's 23rd of Nov.

Yup it's old.....and very rusty....runs on diesel, furnace oil, tranny fluid but mostly veggie oil and gets 25-28mpg.
Here it is at the track in all it's glory

eeehhh...maybe that wasn't such a hot idea after all....LOL
How about a thread on ugliest daily drivers? LOL!

1994 Camaro Z28 383 stroker, 700 tranny, stock 3.42 gears ( WHHaatt ) 12.50's in the quarter. Drive it to the track and run the wheels off it.

I'm new here, but love the site! My daily driver is a 2007 Cobalt LS 4 door. Nothing special, stock 2.2L auto. It also serves as my race car and my motorhome at multi-day races like the Halloween Classic. The 1/8 mile dial is shown in the pic:
