Dream Daily Driver?
 

I have noticed the other threads always talking about daily drivers and dream cars...how about this...post your DREAM DAILY DRIVER!

Parameters:

1. Must put at least 50 miles/day
2. You have another vehicle with cargo space for the trips to home depot so you don't have to worry about that aspect.
3. You don't have to put more than two people in it.
4. Money is not an object, thus the term dream.

Ferrari 575M Maranello would be mine. I love the lines, the howl and the built in passion. God bless the Italians.

I lust after the new, not yet released, Corvette Z06. 505 HP, top speed of 190MPH. Zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds.

Hmmm, how much did you say it was?

:cheers:

Hmm

anyone one of the following will do:
Ford GT
Maserati Gransport
Ferrari 360 Challenge
1973 911 RS
Murcielago (v12: music)

Money and maintenance no object, eh?

I'd like to try out a Bentley Continental GT

Given that I live in a snowy climate I'd have to say I'd like an Audi RS6 for my daily driver. If climate were also no object I would be commuting in a Ferrari F355 F1 cabrio.

Aston Martin DB9. OMG one of the most beautiful cars ever made. And I think it has optional ejection seats, rockets, and smoke screen!

hey, according to your conditions, I'll choose from the following:


F40
F50
F60 (Enzo)
F430 CS (not out yet)
Zonda
CGT

50 miles/day in a supercar hurts the resale value, but who cares, I'm dreaming, right? :cheers:

less of a dream?
911 Turbo :p

Ferrari F355, or F360 cabrio

The F40 is one of my all time favorite cars, but the idea of driving one daily makes me shudder. No carpet, no door panels, pull-strings to open the doors, fiberglass seats.. It's a go-kart with bodywork. Now I love driving karts but I wouldn't want to commute in one!

I'm almost there. The dream would be to have a 928 GTS as a DD. The S4 is wonderful, but the upgrades in the GTS would be perfect. :D

Ruf Boxster RK Spyder
 

I can't believe no one has mentioned the RUF Boxster RK Spyder .

Well let's see if I didn't have to pay for the car would I choose a $200K RUF 987 or a yellow V8 Ferrari 360? :confused:

Ferrari F430 Spyder (with manual 6-speed)

This thread should be changed to: "What type of Ferrari do you want as a daily driver?"

KRZ

ROFL!! Most want the Ferrari until they drive it for awhile and then have to get it repaired. Daily driver becomes a 2-month garage queen waiting for parts. :eek:

It would have to be in order:
97' 993TTS
959
Lambo Murci
new SL600AMG
F355
RUF RKSpyder
My soon to be Boxster

For me, it'd be an BMW M3 (CSL would be nice, but an SMG would probably be a better "daily" driver).

(The F430 would be my Ferrari of choice.)

daily driver
 

I have a 2004 Box as a daily driver and I am not wanting. I don't even go to car lots to browse. Sometimes I wish it was faster, most of the time I don't. It is nice to get on it hard, often, without losing your license. The motor sounds are the best thing this side of a $200k Ferrari.

Lambo Murcielago for me.

Okay Okay M6

Wow, it seems like over half of the vehicles listed as a "Dream Daily Driver" definately have the "DREAM" part down, but don't quite get the "DAILY DRIVER" part. Either that or we're a bunch of poor decision makers here. These are mostly DREAM CARS -period.

How many of the cars listed so far will perform just dandy in the rain, or better yet, snow and ice? (Daily) And as deliriousga said, who wants a car the WILL be in the shop (AND for a while) as theirown. Shouldn't that be factored in when 50miles/day is the minimum? (Daily) And let's not forget about comfort. Some of these cars don't even have AC or stereos to go with their rigid seats! (I can manage fine without a radio, but no AC? That doesn't fly here in Texas) And I'm sure over time, EVERYBODY drooling over your car would get old. (It's nice, but after a while...) And lastly, parking! I feel a bit nervous parking (i.e. door dings) my plain ol' Boxter when I go to the movies. I'd develop ulcers in NO TIME if I had some of the cars mentioned so for.

"Dream" to me, is just an easy way of saying, "excluding cost." I think it should be a car that's versitile, something that is able to easily rack up the miles. Something comfortable that won't wear on you... But admirably fast. Would you still choose the car you've choosen?

but if you suddenly win a $250 million mega jackpot, wouldn't you be driving a Ferrari as a daily driver? if the F50 is in the shop, oh well, drive the F40 or F360 CS. Of course I'm dreaming of a $250 million jackpot too :cool:

I think the new Z06 would fit the bill as a DD.

Comfy and fast I am told.

Dream. Some of you must be tech type people...

Yeah, there were a few answers I saw that seemed good. Z06, RS6, possibly even the SL600 and DB9. But none will surpass the M3!!! (Well, maybe the M5)

I just think it'd be nice to bring more than 1 friend with you in your daily driver once in a while.

The M6 will fit the bill!

Just found out I have another kid on the way. I guess the days of the Boxster daily driver are numbered.

CONGRATS lexuspilot!!!! Sorry about the Box, but good news on the new addition. An M6 would seat a family of four! M5 would also.
