    Default daily drivers...

    am i the only person who thinks that for a car to qualify as a daily driver you must have another car in which you don't drive on a daily basis?

    For instance....I have a 5XXhp GTO that I don't drive on a daily basis, it's my race car.....i have a 1XXhp 4dr civic, which I drive every day, which is my daily driver...



    way too many people calling their ONLY car a daily driver....it's not a daily driver, it's your fuckin car moron

    no....the notion that you have a daily driver would insinuate that you have something that you don't drive daily.....if you don't have said car, then its just a car, it's not a daily driver

    If you don't have 2 cars, you only have 1 and you call it your daily driver, its stupid as fuck.

    Daily driver - car you drive if you have more than 1 car and the other aren't driven on a daily basis.

    really? so to have a daily routine, such as waking up, eating breakfast, brushing your teeth, and showering, in that order everday, you have to have a different routine you do on other days?

    This right here is what matters, not whatever you WANT "daily driver" to mean. Whoever coined the term, or whatever the general consensus is on what it means, is what counts...not this thread.

    I couldn't find a definition for it, which is why I didn't post immediately. I can give you MY opinion on what it means, but that doesn't mean a damn thing if there's an actual definition out there.

    But I've always considered ANY car that is driven for normal routine functions as a daily driver...regardless of how many cars the person has. "Daily driver" is nothing more than a more specific term for a vehicle. If I have 10 cars, and 1 of them is purely a race car......it's STILL "my car" but it's ALSO my "race car" or whatever I wanna call it. So if I have one car.....that car is: my daily driver, my toy, my race car, my grocery getter, my material hauler, my work vehicle, my passenger vehicle, etc. However, if I buy another car and buy it SPECIFICALLY for one reason, then I'll probably name it that (like "race car") and more than likely only use it for that purpose (or very few others), while continuing to do everything else with my other car.

    And just for the record, back when I had a company car which was a separate daily driver from my Vette........I raced it and raised more hell in it than I did my "weekend toy" heh

    you're way too serious about this....

    btw....there is no definition for "daily driver", check websters, not some hack website....just because you pick one off the internet doesn't mean its the literal translation of the phrase

    anyone else noticing that the only people arguing are people who only own one car?

    So if you are married, would your hand be a daily driver if you only got to use the wife for special occasions?
