First daily driver was a Porsche 911.
Then came an assortment of Audi Quattros. The early ones. Then an E30 M3. Then a bunch of Audi V8 Quattros. Then an ‘00 Audi S4. Then an ‘04 VW R32. Now all of that is gone and my only car is my ‘03 Audi S8. |

Favorite DD was probably a 2009 C63 AMG. Guzzled gas but it was a hooligan in a nice suit, just lol levels of fun. I'll have another someday.

Picking one as my favorite, would have to be my ‘10 MCS. Perfect for my commute up and over the Santa Cruz Mtns everyday. It’s a delectable carver as is and I Have almost 140k on her. My navigator and finance management officer just greenlighted my ideas to hot rod it a bit. This is going to be fun.

I really like the 03 mini, perfect size and handles great for what it is. It has a few issues but... did I mention its fun to drive?
I also really liked a e36 318is. Almost no power but handled pretty well and it was entertaining to try to brake as little as possible. |

Many years ago, I had an '88 Ford Ranger, the last year of the lowest powered motor (2.0L, 4 cyl). It was slow, but fun, and yes, I could drive over curbs, hit speed bumps at speed, etc... It was a bit of fun, but would have been better with a V-6.

Tundra has a 400 HP 5.7 liter. Lots of smiles per gallon.

When I'm not driving the Pepper Wagon, the 968 always puts a smile on my face.

Of the cars iv daily driven over the years, the most fun was the E21 320iS that. Drove in high school.
Nowadays I'd like to replace my hInda with a Jetta TDI wagon, or maybe a 2.0T wagon with GTi suspension bits. Funniest daily by a lot is whatever bicycle I'm riding to work.

I think the ultimate daily driver (for urban use) would be an EV - for "squirtability" in traffic.
It would be pretty ratty looking (to scare off people in nice, spendy cars & so you wouldn't worry about door dings). you'd sit up pretty high for a good view. it'd be pretty small to fit into various spots (parking spots, alleys, etc.) yet have room for whatever you often carry |
