Darn right. That's the benefit of keeping the Rex to be my every day whore, and the FT (potentially) as the weekend fling.

I will call it T&T => tool and toy

This will be my DD year round, throw some sand bags in the trunk and some Blizzacks on, and let her eat up that snow. You AWD guys got nothing on me in the snow.....lol...joking

Daily Driver. RWD is even more fun when the weather's bad. When I see fresh powder on the ground, I don't reach for my snowboard, I reach for my car keys.

Daily Driver, for the most part, my job doesn't require me to drive into work though but as soon as I'm off it's all me a ton of steal (or whatever they make cars from these days, aluminum.)

Gearbanger · 12-02-2009, 12:38 AM

It's a relatively inexpensive car so got to drive it. That said with rear wheel drive I'll gararge it in winter same as my IS.

HCN · 12-02-2009, 03:20 AM

This is going to be my daily with some light mods done to it, boy I can't wait!

Will definitely be driven 2-3 times a week but not for DD use, i drive 50-75 miles a day so no way. I'll sell my 200SX and pick up a different DD like maybe an AE86

You don't want an AE86 for a DD. Not at the age its at now. Talk about a lot of money and time invested just to make a car a worthy DD. Trust me on this, I'm barely keeping up with it.

Infact, thats backwards! FT should be DD, AE86 should be moderate drive car / track car. FT's will be everywhere (hopefully), AE86's are rare gems nowadays.

Our grocery getter/grunt vehicle is my wife's Fit. Being retired I put less than 5,000 miles a year on my car. So in one sense it will be my daily driver. I just won't have as many driving days as the average guy does.

this is definitely going to be my daily with the s2k as my weekend car.
