It's no longer a DD when it's parked on its roof.

I draw the line at engine delete. Unless my daily drive is always downhill, then I still wouldn't consider it not daily-able at that point. This is a tough one.


If your commute is down hill going there it'd be uphill going home.

Well then it would not be DDable. I'm saying if my destination was always downhill, it would still be fine.

That would make it the most anarexic 86 EVAR!

When your 240 has solid engine, tranny, and subframe bushings. Super loud exhaust straight through from the turbo. No interior with all sound deadining removed. Coilovers with custom stuper stiff spring rates whilst slammed to the ground. Fixed back bucket seat with no sliders for adjustments. To top it off a welded diff that sucks majorly for everything but drifting. Hence why I now own an frs for a daily and my 240 is only driven at the track unless I'm feeling wild.

I used to take it the 100mi round trip to work all the time.

"Daily-able" is pretty relative to the individual driver. I loved it and drove it over the BRZ some days. Depends on weather, road conditions, time of travel, etc. Hell I lost a little hearing taking it 60mi to a meet open downpipe, all a matter of how much you love it.

Plan to daily it some when the LS3 is done too ;)

When it loses it's ability to drive properly in all climates and conditions.

To OP:

When it is no longer street legal as per your local laws.

The rest above that is entirely up to you.

Everyone on these forums from California would not be driving if that was the mindset... Hahaha
