Nizm0Zed Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I noticed that many of you all drive reasonably new, (and i guess reasonably expensive) DD's. Is it more an age thing? Im taking a stab here that the average age is around the mid 30's? I know im still young at 25, but still, i cant see the point in spending decent money on a DD for me, as its money i can spend on my REAL car, my wife on the other hand, i'll buy her a new car so i dont have to worry about it. Are those cars your all driving over there cheap and easily accessable? Or is it more of a case that there are no old, cheap reliable cars left, so your stuck spending a bit more?

jerryb Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I get a company vehicle so I order whatever fits the budget or something that catches my fancy. This time its a 2005 Rendevouz...I like it...good family car and I can tow my boat or track car. Great for long distance driving. ( "good family car".....there was a time I didnt talk like this) My last was an ....dont laugh......Aztek! A black one I refered to it as my paramilitary garbage truck. I even had the tent! :lmao:I slept at the track with my son for lapping days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z_cars_rule Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i was DD my 260Z until a dodgey workshop fitted me with a crap wiring job on a new fuel pump, and I have not been arsed to fix it since, so now my RB powered ZX is my daily, and I have bought myself a toyota aristo (twin turbo GS300) for a weekend/drag car. One day i might sell the old 260Z, free up some shed space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm waiting for my BMW to be delivered. It's a '85 E28 535iA, meaning it's the 3,5 liter M30B34-powered automatic. It has 94000 miles on it, and hopefully it will be reliable enough to be my daily driver. I don't think it would be wise to drive around in my caged and lowered 240Z... Funnily enough, it's a US-spec car, and I found it in the UK. It should be delivered during the next two weeks or so. It was a bargain, and I hope it's not a rust bucket...

slownrusty Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Nice car Gareth. You will have no issues with that car rust wise or mechanically. Those are incredible cars I love them. My dad had one for the longest while 528i and he really loved it. They can be electronically annoying from time to time. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks for the tip Yasin! I already have a E28 520i, but I'm selling it, because it feels a bit too slow for my needs. I really like the way it feels though, it's very solid and handles well. I arranged a meeting with a potential buyer this weekend, I'll try to sell it...

BayAreaZT Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yasin - I almost picked up a 323 GTX to daily drive last month. I know you have one and I probably would have been bombarding you with questions. Found out it was salvaged and I passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam393 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 '01 Lexus IS300, you can find them for pretty good prices nowadays, extremely reliable, very fun to drive, and they have lots of mods available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new40z Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Big Dodge 4x4 2500 HD Turbo Diesel, Love the power and the whine of the turbo is great. Best part--The company pays the fuel bill and they send a new one every 15k miles. I thrash around in the snow or mud most of the day. When I'm home it's a 93 z32 convertible.

I know you have one and I probably would have been bombarding you with questions. Found out it was salvaged and I passed. Too bad about the Salvage title! Mine will be going to a new home in about a month..sadly...but had my fun with it (4years) and still runs like a bat out of hell with 190K and 15psi!

240hoke Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 over the past couple years I have had an e36, e46, and now a 350z. The 3 series were super practical and fun to drive. I always had the 2 door coupes but could always somehow manage to get all my crap in them and I did alot of part running. Fold down rear seats large trunks. I even had a trailer hitch on my e46 to tow my motorcycles. My latest daily is my 350z its by far the most fun of the bunch Storage room is a little lacking though... okay a lot lacking. Im going to be putting a hitch on it though hehe. My girlfriend also has a 93 Miata which is a SUPER FUN little car. Lots of mods out there and handles nad drive great. Not much storage though at all... and forget it if your over 6 foot heh. Oh yea it leaks in the rain but gets great gas mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6t8vw Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 i found a '93 subaru legacy in good condition for $1000 on craigslist, runs great no problems at 140k mi. but this is more fun for the snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
