What's your daily driver ? (photo thread)
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was talking to a fellow Aston owner who had a gorgeous 2011 DBS in Ferrari Red (special paint) and we spent some time chatting about our cars. I asked him if he drives it daily and he said 'Oh no - it rarely comes out', and then I was curious to see his choice for a daily, go-to-work car and he about floored me when he said a 2006 Toyota Avalon! I said.... "REALLY?" From a DBS to a 8 year old Avalon? And we both had a laugh.

So this got me thinking, might be fun to see what everyone else here rides in when the Aston is parked in the garage. What's your daily driver? Pop a photo in if you have one..might be amusing to see what the go-to-work car is for ya'll?

Mine is a 2012 BMW 135i Convertible, which I totally enjoy. A great little compact rocket....whenI show up at the AM dealer locally, they always give me flak about this being a 'girlie car' and I tell them if they're not nice to me I'll bring it out to the next track day and wax their arese all around Summit Point in it.

220k miles on this one. Had two previous to this one, both driven to over 200k miles. I like a well balanced car. Also have two infiniti's, an SUV and a G37x

Don't know how to do the pic yet so I'll use verbage.....2010 challenger r/t, OR Triumph tr-8, OR 69 amx 390, OR 70 amx 360, OR 64 vette 327/365..........Winter only? Subaru mountain goat

^^^Cool that you have a '69 390 AMX. I used to drive a '69 343 in high school and my dad still has his 390 that he bought in 1968. Wish I knew where that car was today. Always save your VINs!

I'm on my 16th amx since 1975.........My first car ever was a 69 amx 390, go-pac 4spd with dealer installed 3:73 rear gear. I bumped it up 200 hp over stock and it is still famous in my area to this day. I can't believe my dad let me have it. Never put a mark on it.....cool story that your dad still has his......that's ballsey

The Aston IS my daily driver.

DonBond Sep 12, 2013 06:59 PM

if you drive that car in the winter you should be jailed......

A 2011 Audi A3 diesel and a 2014 Ford Escape Titanium. The 2009 Vantage is a fair weather daily driver in Minnesota

I want to be known for what I do, not what I drive; so at work no one knows about my exotics. My daily driver is even more girlie than Duane's: an 1999 MX-5 Miata and my better-half drives a '98 Camry. :)

I drive the same old beat up Toyota Corolla I had in college to work. I have nothing to prove.

It's not about having anything to prove........performance matters year around, to me....
