Default daily drivers

My gs is daily driven by my wife, and my nsx is driven by me. I put about 3 miles on average a day on the nsx. I am hopefully picking up a 2007 sti next week. The gs has been such a great car and when the time comes, she will be missed.

i drive a 96 tercel as a daily driver (yeah i know.. big difference from the GS).. but it's helped me rest the GS a little bit during my daily commute.. i've put 30k miles on that tercel in less than 2 years.. 30k miles less for the GS! =)

I am going back to driving my good ol' 96 Accord for the winter....her name is Betty. My little ricer machine. It gets decent mileage and I want to keep Alexa out of the snow. It sure sucks to get used to a Lexus 2JZ to get back into a Honda F22, I didnt know how slow that car was. De-ricing is in the process.



I still mostly drive Alexa because I love her. If I payed $3 a gallon, I might as well enjoy every drop.

Default daily

When I had the black my daily was a civic h/b with a GSR swap



Since the move to CA I recently bought my 99GS for $16k then found a 95LS for $5k to use as a daily. the GS has only 64k miles and the LS has 166k miles with no problems.



The gas mileage is pretty much the same but I save the miles on the GS and rack'em up on the LS for running around town and used as the road trip car.

Default buy back

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who buys back their old car. Had the h/b w/ a GSR motor/wheels/full black leather, I/H/E/ign/fullsusp. Sold it to a good friend and bought it back within a year because I missed it so much.
