The daily drivers

[cliffordtk]

I use a 2008 Prius for commuting to work, etc. Occasionally use a 2001 Lexus IS300. I bought it new, but now my fiance is using it. Though recently she has driven the Prius a couple of times and seems to like (more than the IS300). The Prius does have a more comfortable ride than the IS300.

Those are beautiful houses, Thumper. Is the one in the foreground yours?


Nice Triumph. Do you ever take it to the track?

Thanks, my house is the one the truck is parked in front of.



This is a pic of when it was still under construction last year. It's one of the more modest homes in the neighborhood. As my real estate broker mother in law tells me: "It's better to have the smallest home in the neighborhood rather than the largest.." It was the other way around with my last house.

The Triumph is a sport tourer and a bit heavy for the track, although I do know of a few guys that track theirs on a regular basis.

Here's my daily driver and also my autocross car - '87 Honda CRX Si. At 1,800 lbs and with a 1.5L engine I get pretty good mileage of 32 city/44 hwy. Plus it's fun to drive! Unfortunately the hot California sun is ruining the paint and the car's starting to look like a POS. I understand having a beater car as a DD, but I'm hoping to upgrade to a nice, used Audi TT within the next couple of years.

The car's got everything done to it - four sets of wheels, full adjustable suspension, full exhaust, intake, port & polished head, ported throttle body, stripped interior, race seat/harness, etc.
