FT-86 -- daily driver, weekend car, or garage queen? - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

[es vi: eks] · 04-09-2010, 04:29 PM

Mine will be a daily driver. Maybe fit a tow bar lol

I always wanted a brand new fuel effient boxer engined car for a daily

I also always wanted a updated Jupiter.

And depending on what the Subaru verson is like I would have it as my weekender car a few years down the track.

We dont have the rust problems here as bad due to not using salt on our roads. So there should still be alot rolling around here in 20 plus years

Definitely a daily driver for me. Until I get some of that good old Canadian winter, then I'll be parking it and rocking the Cobalt until the snow melts. Otherwise, it's going to be a daily, which is not to say that I won't be doing my fair share of modifications. It's just that they'll be for driving pleasure rather than viewing pleasure.

Daily driver for me. I have no intention of buying a new car only to use it a handful of days out of the month.

Every.single.day.

I want to have fun getting to work everyday. I hope the g concept makes its way over here soon. But if the 86 is not out by 2014...the si will be paid off, move the si to garage queen and the ft to daily. Daily that will be very,very well taken care of.

Daily driver for sure, except for winter. RWD + ontario winter = fun for about 30 min then pure agony for 4 months! I wouldn't want to ruin the car with all the road salt and sand anyways, that would be sacrilege. I'll keep my cav for the winter...

DD for the summer, but a garage queen in the winter!!

I will drive it until it drives no more. Then I will consider saving it for my son to drive when he is old enough.

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'.

GJOB = Garage Jewelry Owning Bastard.

I think there are at least 3 ITR owners on the forum know, and multiple others that I know are interested in the car but haven't joined the forum until they have one..

Edit: oops, didn't realize that tranzformer bumped an old arse thread.

Oh were you saying that we already have a thread on this topic. Oh ok.

This is actually going to be my first car when I get my license in April!! Everyday car ofcourse

DC87 · 08-28-2011, 11:08 AM

As a student I can't really afford to have another car (as I'm saving every penny I get for this in the first place) so it will be a daily driver. While I'm up north at university i live about 100 yards from the building so the bad weather won't affect me too much unless it snows when I want to pop home for a weekend (and if everything goes to plan I'll be able to borrow a press car should my little RWD prove immovable). Then down south over the summer I'll drive it hours on end every day

make up for all the days it sits in the uni halls car park!

Same exact topic(as you pointed out), but 5 pages of current discussion. Honorable of you to try keeping redundant thread counts down, but that's not how FT86Club rolls. lol

Yeah we need more threads on paint choice, why no turbo, and about rebadging. Lol
