Ugh. Lol. The only Toyota I would even consider would be a Scion TC.

I can't find anything from GM that appeals to me. The new Camaro is nice but I have a particular taste. I want auto manufacturer's to go back to making copo stuff, or like what Buick did with the regal.

Square cars ftw. Not including the element or xB or Cube that is.

For a lot of the guys in this thread, you're talking engine swaps, fresh suspensions built to handle, expensive clutches or built transmissions, new paint jobs, etc. Many of us have spent into the 5 digit range on our cars just over the last few years, and we use them for enjoyment and a hobby, and have other cars to use for daily chores.

My DD is 98 Lumina LTZ, 3800, leather, super comfy. Way better for daily driving than my loud, low, black, air conditioningless hotrod Beretta with a stiff ass clutch.

haha

Try an 800lb clutch with a carburetor and big cam. Then you can bitch about a hot rod as a daily driver. :crazy:

Don't be a dick. For a Beretta, it is a hot rod.

I have 2 1988 GT's...one is my winter car and one is my summer car!!!!...but I keep both maintained however. one of my 88's has never seen snow and has not a speck of rust anywhere on her so i'm kinda hoping to keep it that way! My winter 88 has it's flaws but by all means nothing major at all...few rust spots here and there is all. But for a 24 year old car it has held up amazingly!!!

It's loud, black, reasonably quick, the roof only comes up to my nipples, has a clutch and no a/c.

Sounds like a hot rod until you mention Beretta.

I'm thankful that I got the cobalt for everyday use.

Like Kurt said, some of us get a lot of money wrapped up in our cars quick. I would hate to be driving the Beretta everyday because all it would take is one idiot to hit it. Then there's no way of getting your money back out of a 17 year old car..

I got a daily driver project car. Fuggin' great. I love not havin' a car to drive for a few days, keeps me in touch with my surroundings. (OBVIOUSLY SARCASIM)!

If your nipples are that pink, you might need to see a doctor. Especially if they are metallic flake nipples.
