Default Re: What's your daily driver now.

Don't know if I should bring this up or not...
There are some guys who race mopars...and drive mopars, or race Fords and drive Fords etc.

What about the guys who are all Ford/Chev/Dodge at the track, but drive a toyota or hyundai etc as a DD?
Don't want this to turn into a pissing contest, just curious of the mindset. My Mustang is my racecar, my F-350 is my DD and the wife drives a freestar. No, imports cannot park in my driveway! LOL!

I've had quite heated discussions at night when the lanes close on why ford/chev/dodge is best, but then notice their DD is a honda? Seriously?

If this turns the thread ****ty, I'll delete the post. I'm just curious why die hard X fans have a Y as their Daily Driver?

It seems there aren't many "American" cars pulling good gas milage comparable to the foreign cars at the same price range and percieved quality.I tend to favor Chrysler but
their cars aren't very gas efficient,unless you count the upcoming Fiat 500 time bomb.

I have a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 Royale with the 3.8L Buick engine and over 275,000 miles. It still runs strong even though I abuse the hell out of it.

Show me an American car that gets 40 plus
with the air on @ 70 mph,
has the build quality,and most importantly its
what the wife wants.Thats why her dd is a Honda
Civic.It has 87K plus miles,has never been in the shop
for anything other than an oil change or tire rotation
when I couldnt get to it myself.

For the record,I work at a Ford dealership in the parts dept.

My daily driver is a 2009 Ford Flex. So far it's been a great car. My fun car is a 65 GTO convertible with a built 455, 200 R4 trans, twelve bolt 3.73 gear and a lot of suspension and brake upgrades. It is really fast and fun.

I drive a 2010 Malibu LTZ.Wife Drives a 2008 Ford Fusion SL V-6. If I had it to do over again, I think I would have bought another Loaded Fusion.They are both nice cars, and I can't really put my finger on it, but that Ford just fits like an old worn pair of shoes

My brother has a Ford Fusion Hybrid and he gets all of those things as well. He loves his Fusion Hybrid and what he has had to say about it is one of the reasons my next car may well be a Fiesta or focus instead of another Civic.

Best money I ever spent on a car - gets 26-29 mpg on the Atlantic City Expressway along with being safe at any speed ..................Like they used to say when we were kids - trust the star .

Yea Jack but the Star we were supposed to trust was on the Texaco guys shirt I'm pretty sure.....not a Mercedes Benz.....

I worked where you could get a "Tiger in your Tank"....and handed out stamps and sometimes game cards like........."Tigerino's"....

We were across the street from a Texaco station....
