FT-86 -- daily driver, weekend car, or garage queen? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I voted DD but it might be more like part time DD, I just sank $850 today into my 02' camry for its 120,000 mile service. Hopefully i'll be able to split time between the two when the FT arrives.

if i keep my FC, the FT will be my daily

but if i lose the FC, the FT will be my weekend car, while the 03 legacy wagon (im hoping to trade that in for the FT) will be my daily.

i plan on tastefully modifying my FT much like i have my solara. suspension, wheels, brakes, possibly a lip kit and a few light performance mods. i want to love driving to work everyday.

It would be my DD for 3 seasons out of the year, being in Maine I would not be able to drive this car in the Winter but that's what the X-Runner is for.

I hope that this car is going to handle and track so well out of the box that it can be a DD and a weekend track/auto-x car without having to overhaul the suspension or any crazy mods.

DD. If Takumi does it, so can I :P

Daily driver. Will use it in my job as a child protection social worker so I hope I can get baby seats in the back for the odd removal.

Then it'd do the odd trackday once in a while and long trips etc.

I've tried the whole weekend car thing before (as is currently the case with my integra type-r) but for me it doesn't really work as I spend 95% of the time driving the other car and hardly ever get out in the Integra. I do love the Teg but it's just not used enough (my fiance hates it though as he used it as a daily and couldn't put up with it). That's why I chopped my horrific new panda diesel for a panda 100hp. So I may as well drive a car that I enjoy.

Oh and I have a much better term for 'garage queens'.

DD and make the 2 a track monster

SLeRoux92 · 02-09-2010, 08:25 AM

DD, i'm only 17, all my money will go into this car lol

KiRiMa · 03-09-2010, 11:06 AM

Garage queen for sure. I had a GPW 2003 S2K and a 2004 Nighthawk Black Pearl EP hatch and wished I had a garage to keep them in . Since I've sold both to get a house with a garage,I'm definitley going to keep my FT in there and use the '91 Yota truck as my DD.

Weekend Car. Will put miles on it like my dad puts on his C6.

TheBigBadBanana · 03-09-2010, 02:55 PM

Mostly stock DD... That is until the warranty runs out.

eckoman_pdx · 03-10-2010, 05:40 AM

I will drive it daily, but take good care of it, like I do my MR2
