What's your daily driver ? (photo thread)

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.

^^^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

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.

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