Check this out. My dad and I sort of share this car (really its his). But I'm pretty sure this is going to be mine one day. Before anyone asks, my family is mostly english and so is the car.

1959 Jensen 541-R GT - My Grandfather is the designer of this car. There is only 43 of them in the world with the same DS7 engine like we have. The car is also Fiberglass.

EDIT: I guess I should also say, this car is almost all original. The engine and tranny is the original and the engine has less then 60,000 miles on it.

I'm sure you guys have lots of questions. So fire away! I can tell you everything about this car.

Is that you & your dad's DD car? Cuz I don't think it's a DD car like others have posted

2002 Honda Accord with around 240k miles

, but won't be getting a brz until after I graduate next spring (and that's if I can land a full time offer before graduation

)

02 saab 9-3. she'll do till she dies. you guys got me beat though. it's weird to think that she's ten years old already. 2002 doesnt seem like that long ago

1987 Toyota MR2 with roughly 200k miles on the chassis. Manual windows/locks/mirrors/seats, no power steering, no A/C, no ABS, no traction or stability control, no airbags, no TPMS, no navigation, bluetooth, or even more than 4 speakers!

Just 2300lbs and 165hp mated to a 5spd gearbox driving the rear wheels. It will be relegated to track car status! I can't suffer having it as a daily driver anymore.

from a 97 rav4 to 09 Sienna(family car) hopefully 2013 Raven FRS... anxious to go back to stick since i got here in the US. It would be a nice MT comeback for me..!!

Upgrading from a 1993 honda accord with 240,000 miles. I've driven it since I have been 15 (now 23), man I can't wait to get my paws on this car and tear around until I'm driving on the metal belts.

89 celica (3sge)- bought it 12 years ago with 180,000km - Now it has 450,000kms.
current reco motor has 150,000kms
current reco gearbox has 60,000kms
No AC - got re-gassed and keeps leaking.
dodgy rust repairs - grind it back and spray paint - just to pass rego.
leaking power steering fluid for 8 years. top up every 3-4 weeks.
leaking engine oil for 4 years - half a litre every month
2nd gear popping out all the time.
doesnt start everyday. some days i have to clutch start it.

nearly every part has been changed at least once.

I hate to say it, but the car is still heaps of fun to drive. as much as i hate it, i cant deny how much i love it.

i have been dieing for the 86 to come out for the last few years. Kept putting off buying a twin turbo RZ supra, in hope the 86 would come out and after a few years of waiting, i can finally get it in the next 2 months (hopefully) Dont even have a price for it yet in Australia. !!!!

Toyota said they will give me $500 for trade in...
I said i rather give it to toyota for free if you they crush it into a cube in front of me.

Wow, your daily driver is almost as old as you are! It's definitely time for an upgrade.
