who here has daily's?

[Tiny Tim]

I have an Accord as a daily driver. Good gas mileage and great for rain and the wintery season. What do you drive as a daily if you have one?

[03LightningRocks]

I have a 1997 F150 Lariat Longbed. The damned thing gets worse milage than my Lightning and is like driving a boat. It sits in front of the house alot...:d .

About 12 MPG city...16 Highway.

Hey! I thought you sold it last week.:confused:

I work out of a 2002 Dodge Crew Cab 1/2 ton with the factory 20's. It actually makes a nice work vehicle (lots of interior room). Gas mileage is pretty sh!tty though. I too, believe my L gets better gas mileage than that anemic little SOHC 4.7L V-8 in the Dodge.

' 96 Merc Sable - daily driver , '95 S/C Mustang GT -" Bad Boy Toy" NOT A DAILY DRIVER & of course the '00 L #3407 'da TOY TRUCK

[L8 APEX]

The fark head said he bought a GN instead, and the guy before him tried doing something called a "in and out" through a dealership salesman he knew. But that didn't fly either. Destined to keep it I guess, I sure would like my cash back soon though:hammer:

[skalywags]

My daily is the L.

[dboat]

my winter beater and cross country driver is my 2002 Acura TL w/Nav. It has the DVD conversion on it too..

Daily beater is a '97 F-150 XL.

:confused: :confused: you lost me- wrong thread maybe- get some sleep Non car person:D A GN is a Grand National, an in and out is where someone can't get financed on their own so the dealer buys the used vehicle they want and finances it for them.

Thanks Mike
I'm doing the work myself, except for the parts where I had to go to the machine shop. I bought a used motor and tranny to rebuild about 5 months ago and have been working on them a little here and there and just now getting close to finishing.

I put all new syncronizers and bearings in the tranny. For the motor, I had bored with new pistons, the rods shot peened, rotating assembly balanced, head ported and polished, and a mild cam built for me. If it moved I replaced it or rebuilt it, and I have some silicon rubber hoses coming to replace all the orginal rubber.

Ok, no body laugh...well maybe a little...it had 110hp at the crank factory, I'm hoping to see about 120 to the wheels when I'm done.

Good deal. Hondas are real easy to wake up and make a peppy little car. My friend had a old lude with the 4 wheel steering. It was a beast and took alot of abuse. If you need any parts and cant find them hit me up. I still have a few contacts in the import world

[mercbuff]

life is to short i bought my L to drive every day and have fun . i am not going to drive some p.o.s. and not be happy to save a couple of dollars in gas heck if you wear out your L go buy another one and enjoy:nana2

I really wish it was that easy...too much money lost when I do that. Also since it's about 70 miles round trip from home to work without any other miles added having a daily driver is better for me in the long run. I don't want the L to have 1,000,000
miles on it so soon. (plus I'd like to keep it & get a Gen 3 in 2-3 years :tu: :cool: )

[mardyn]
