Post your daily driver!!

[turbojaeger]

Yes, another time i have nothing better to do than starting an
"unnessesary" thread...


So post the vehicles that bring you to work ect...


Due to the bitching wife, i traded the fun-mustang (347 stroker, short manual tranny, 385 rwhp and always drifting :Brow:)
to the gas-saving '03 Monte Carlo LS with frontwheeldrive:rant::Blasting:

and because of the missing "kick" the bike became some kind of a must-have:cool:


ok guys, now it's on you!!!
:beers:

This is my 530i from 1993. It’s got a 3-litre v8 and a 5-speed automatic.
I’m prepared to let it go cheap in case anyone should be interested :D . I’ve had the darn thing for 9 years now:p

Got rid of the granny whitewalls the next week.

My Centurion is my daily driver:Brow: About 2 years ago when I bought the Centurion, I had gotten to a point where I had 4 cars and no drivers, so I sold everything except a mostly restored 65 chevy pick up, and I bought the centurion. I had a convertible 69 vette (a real basket case), I had gotten it about 10 years ago (along with a junker 73 from which I pulled a 454 and 4 speed) and started to work on it, but it had been just sitting for about 8 of those years (because I didn't have a place to keep it and work on it where I was living), and in that time I sort of lost interest in the vettes and really wanted a nicely optioned 1959-1976 land yacht instead, hence the Centurion. Here's a picture of my other car (although not a driver), the 65 chevy - it's got a 327 and a 3 speed overdrive (manual) transmission.

Sold my BMW to a guy at the office yesterday :D
Now I need a new daily driver :eek: :eek: don’t know yet what it will be :rolleyes:

[dewbers]

Good for you Per. After nine years, she didn't owe you a thing, I am sure.
What's next? Another Beemer??

Realized I never posted my driver... so better late than never: :laugh:

[Robroy]

What's next? Another Beemer??
Hey Steve!
It’s leaning on a VW Golf or maybe another BMW at the moment, if it wasn’t for the raising gas prices I would try and find a nice low mileage Chevy Caprice LT1/Impala SS -96 or a Caddy Seville STS.
But common sense is knocking :spank: on my door even if I try not to hear :p

[GutRat]

Taken a few days ago on the first 'full' day of Spring. I ask myself why the @#%$ I own a RWD every time it snows.

Stuck in the drive way after coming home from work

That looked like a lot of fun Kimson!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Don't get a chance to do that stuff much anymore... I gotta get out and have some fun so my kids don't think I am such an old fart!!! :shocked:

[Richard Dunn]

I used to do things like that here in the snow with the Centurions.
Find an empty parking lot and do slides and spins. We ain't got no desert here in Philadelphia. We have to wait for snow and ice storms to do stuff like that.
One night a Philly cop sat and watched me. :eek:
It was about 3:00 in the morning and I am sad to admit I was a bit buzzed. :o
I was at the super market parking lot at Frankford ave and Bridge street at the Bridge and Pratt El stop. It was an Acme Market at one time, I think it was then. And I was going to town after a small snow storm.
The cop watched me for a few minutes and then left. He never did a thing.
He could have nailed me good.

[dewbers]

Hey Rick - I didn't realize you were in Philly. I'm in Newark DE, only 30-45 minutes South of you. It's nice to know there are several of us in the Mid-Atlantic area... Rick is in North Jersey somewhere and there are one or two others on here as well. One of these days, we'll need to find a local show so we all can meet.

The cop was just enjoying your youthful foolishness. Thankfully, he didn't know how foolish you actually were at that time!!

I've never done that in my Centurion, but one never knows... I did used to beat the daylights out of my Skylark though. That car would light those tires up endlessly!!

Talk to you later...

I used to take my '72 LeSabre out on a frozen lake and do the same back when I was 19 or 20.
One night, (buzzed) I came back on shore to find 2 squad cars waiting for me.
They said they were just waiting for me to create a pressure wave and go through the ice. :coffee:
Wrote me a ticket for doing 75 on a lake and a lecture. :laugh:
When I went to court, the judge threw it out since there technically wasn't a posted speed limit for a frozen lake.
Though the judge did wag his finger at me and gave me yet another a lecture. http://www.fadzter.com/smilies/shame.gif

Oh, those were the days! :rolleyes:

Oops! looks like we got a little off topic here. :o

That’s quite a story Dale, I’m glad the ice held....

It reminds me of an occasion when my friend I where out partying in the early 80’s, the driver had had enough for the evening and went home when my friend decided to do some driving himself. He was pretty tanked up and didn’t do so good :p. I persuaded him to head home which he did but he took a shortcut through some flowerbeds and chopped down a few traffic signs as well on his way :Dou::laugh:. He then parked the car at his usual spot and we went inside and went to sleep 4 am.
I woke up at 10:00 am from the doorbell and I could hear someone asking my friend if he was the owner of the 66 Impala parked outside which he confirmed. The car was fairly undamaged from the night’s adventure except for a transmission oil leak that left a pretty little track all the way from the messed up flowerbeds etc to my friend’s car :Dou::Dou:. He claimed that someone else had been driving but he couldn’t remember who due to his state during the night (buzzed big time) :rolleyes:. He was of the hook since they couldn’t really prove he had been driving.

A few months later he was just moving his car around the block to park it when a police car from nowhere showed up and nicked him :eek:. He was almost sober compared to the last time but had had a few beers which was enough to lose the license.
He’s an ambulance driver today since many years and we often say how lucky we were that night that we didn’t hurt some one else or our self’s for that matter.
So to all young forum members, DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE, its just plain stupid and can lead to real disasters ;)

[Richard Dunn]

Well being young often equals doing dumb and stupid things.:o
I can testify to that.
I know that I am very lucky to still be here.
But one day I guess I just grew up.
I stopped doing stuff like that.

Per,
From what I have heard over the years, Sweden has absolutely no tolerance when it comes to drinking and driving.
I have heard that any alcohol in your system and you lose your license.

Boy, the stories I could tell you about cops pulling me and my friends over back in the late '70's and early '80's and then letting us go on our merry way even after establishing the fact we had been drinking all night.

Cop. "You guys been drinking?"

Us. "Yes"

Cop. "Are you drunk?"

Us. "Not yet! ha,ha ha" :laugh:

Cop. "Well, put the beer in the trunk, turn your lights on, and watch those stop signs!"
:Dou:



Richard,
I also feel lucky that myself and all my friends from that time are still around to talk about it! And that none of us killed or injured anybody.

[Robroy]

Yeah, that’s more or less how it is around here. Allowed level of alcohol when driving is 0.2 per thousand or less

[dewbers]

Sounds like many of us are very lucky or very Blessed.... or both.
Been down that road as well, and wish never to travel it again.... Realized I am not Superman. Though, I hope you don't tell my kids ! :laugh:

Hey Kimson - were you sober when you were having your little joy ride!?!?

[EEE]

Hey Kimson - were you sober when you were having your little joy ride!?!?

Sure was, I try to do the dumb stuff when I'm sober, and take it easy when I'm lit.

[Robroy]

Last two winters have been very tough out here and the lady of the house gave me an ultimatum; move back to town or get a 4x4 and guess what I chose :Brow:

This is my first Asian made car ever and I my fuel consumption has almost doubled BUT I’m a very happy camper!
The VW Golf never felt right for me with its low torque engine and I feel a LOT more relaxed driving the Santa Fe!
It has a 2.7 liter v6 and automatic 4-speed trans

Nice beamer!
I use to have a 530ia from 93 with a 3 litre v8 and 5-speed aut, it was silver with a black leather interior.
A guy at work still has it, fastest car I ever owned!

Thanks! Awesome pics!! Love those cars - bullet proof engines!!

[Robroy]

Yes they are powerful and solid engines indeed as long as they get their oil changed according to schedule.
Good advice to any BMW owner is to never delay the oil change. I use to do mine before schedule just to avoid problems.

Apart from a transmission breakdown I never had any issues with my 530 the nine years I owned it.
It’s a fabulous car on the highway and the main reason I did not replace it with another one when selling it was that I don’t do much highways these days, not where I live now.

[David G]

Been driving the 98 daily for 5 yrs now. Love the Riv, but I think it will be my daughter's in a couple years. Not sure what will replace it, maybe another?
