What's your daily driver/beater?

minn19 · 03-23-2019, 06:33 PM

To each his own, but I'd rather drive my M3 than a 14 year old almost anything.

Congrats?

Public transportation is my beater car. I spend most of the winter months in Manhattan and keep the closest thing I have to a beater car (Porsche Cayenne GTS) garaged there and only take it out to go to my home in Lime Rock CT. I have winter tires for it but I rarely if ever drive it in the snow with the notable exception of Winter Autocross at Lime Rock Park. The M4 and my other cars are in storage for the winter and will come out at the end of this week. I am OCD about the care of my cars including my "Beater" Cayenne. It is more my 'practical" car than my "beater" car although it does suffer the indignity of trips to the local dump.

2016 wrx Cobb tuned. Feels like a toy compared to the m3, but still a blast to drive. Makes the drive home from work a bit more entertaining

2018 F80 is my DD. Take my German Shepherd to the dog park/dog day care in a 2015 Civic however.

gixxerboy63 · 03-24-2019, 11:56 AM

I drive 2018 GMC Sierra Denali
Wife drives 2018 X3 M40i

...and then there's the garage queen / weekend car

CachacoF80 · 03-24-2019, 12:53 PM

Mini Cooper S. I hate to leave the F80 at the train station from a safety perspective. I drive the F 80 to work once a week 140mi round trip).

The Mini is awesome and a reminder of less is more and how much fun hatchbacks are.

Nice! I thought long and hard about it but the seat position was just odd. The sound was awesome! Better than my F80 surely.

My 2018 M3 is my daily and winter car. A 2018 GTR is my summer car. Wife's car is a beast 2016 Escalade ESV.

Humdizzle · 03-26-2019, 03:28 AM

My weekend. 458 with tubi exhaust. lowered on novitec springs and spacers.

M3 6mt for the manual itch. Errands around town. Date night. And so I can cruise at night without waking up all my neighbors.

09 civic for going to work and back (80 miles round trip x 5 days a week), bad weather, road trips, being inconspicuous lol.

A civic in the same fleet as a 458? You truly are not a brand snob. Bravo

I have a "similar" fleet, except it's:

R8 4.2 6MT Spyder - My weekend point A to point A car

M3 6MT - same purpose as yours, and for going stupid fast
2nd gen Toyota Tundra for daily duties.

My daily beater! My 2nd i3 in a row, the best commuter I've ever had! 80 miles a day, no gas, free charging, carpool lane, adaptive cruise.

My M3 CS weekend car. Occasional work commuter to break the monotony. Weekend car for fun, and track.

Have you coded Traffic Jam Assist (poor man's autopilot) on the i3? Then it would be truly perfect.

I don't mind steering myself. I don't trust that aftermarket system yet!
