nothing wrong with a honda for a dd. mine is a 2003 silverado. i love my firebird too much to subject it to parking lot morons without need.

 

haha..nice...beat on the honda till it dies :P

 

Diddo on the parking lot MORONS!!! This past Nov '09, I got my new wife a 09 G6. Since we've(SHE) had it, its been bumped(hit) about 5x in parking lots by complete morons with their doors!!!

My DD/work truck/beater/rust bucket is a 98 4L Ranger, so I don't blame you for keeping your T/A as a true weekend Toy!

 

I hate door dings.. So I bought my 1986 Plymouth Caravelle, it's pretty much a chromed out '86 Gran Fury...

 

ive got 3 dents in my truck from lot loons, one in the steel rear bumper. the clownshoe that did that one musta a really peeled the crap out of his/her car. it takes a lot to dent a silverado rear bumper.

i tend to park at the ends of rows whatever im driving lately

 

I always park as far from others as possible. That being said my Formula does have a couple door dings that happened while it was in the care of a previous owner.

 

you know, i usually park as far away as possible, and regardless, some idiot will park right next to me at least 75% of the time.

 

Yep. I always park the 'bird in the middle of nowhere. On the other side of a curb, so no stray buggies can get it. It still has alot of parking lot rash.

And I DD mine, so the highway horrors are worse. I got stuck behind a dump truck the other day. I had probably 5 or 6 car lengths between us. Somehow a huge peice of Ninja asphalt pops out of another dimension, and attacked my hood. I found the scar this morning washing it. And thats not to mention the mysterious paint stripper filled bugs we have.

Nothing wrong with a good DD. Im gonna have to get me one.

 

Agreed. My paint is only 3 weeks old, but because it is my DD, I already have a few rock chips in it. DD is next on my list of things to purchase.

 

In the process of swapping dailys right now...my 2004 Grand Prix is getting full-size-truck-like fuel economy, and because of a career change, I now have a 45-minute commute. I would never dream of daily driving my Camaro, though...too many lunatics on the road, in the parking lots, and then we have winter..so no..

I've been lucky tho...when I do take the Camaro to parking lots (running in for the jug of Milk I forgot to bring home, etc), it remains untouched. I dont know if thats luck, skill, or the fact that people in my town know me. I've had more paint damage at car shows to be honest. Buddy in the club with me had his accent parked beside me. His girlfriends son opened his door, and let go of it....it smashed into my mirror while I wasnt around. A couple people came up to me yelling that Cody had just hit my car. I came back to find the paint flaked off the little flat area beside the glass on the drivers side mirror, maybe a quarter inch long. The laugh was Codys door...a dent almost 2" across and getting on for 3/8" deep.

Once again proving that muscle beats import. :-P

 

Totally should've went for a nissan 240sx ;D

 

That Honda will go for another 300,000. They never die.

 

congrats i guess looks to be in fairly good shape. if you want some fun maybe we should look up a 747 wing for her and a bodykits and how to mod a coffe cup for an exhuast! J/K congrats though.

 

what kind of rims are on your t/a? I liek those!

Also, my DD is a 1990 Camry....rusty and moldy due to water leaks....I like to cal lit "the moldsmobile" LOL

 

haha i have a bees nest in a can for a muffler that came with the car but im not gonna put it on i dont want any attention from the cops lol thanks for the comments tho! it just goes to show that we all need daily drivers in order to keep out 3rd gens alive and in good health

The rims on the bird are older style Eagle Alloys,they came with the car and i spent countless hours polishing them but i love them

 

nothing wrong with liking a civic as a DD I used to love my gold escort wagon and drove the crap out of it

 

And thats the plan with hte honda lol drive honda on days i dont wanna spend all my money on gas or if the weather is crappy,although lately i have been driving the Trans am alot more than the honda..lol

 

I drive my Camaro daily, but I park FAAAAR away to avoid morons who hit your car with their doors.

 

not just doors i flat out dont want no one touching or being close to my car.

 

The drivetrain may make it that far, but up here the body never will. I had a friend in high school who's father owned a early 90s prelude , the seat literally rotted through the floor.

As for DD my Trans am is my daily spring/summer DD I take it everywhere. I enjoy the car and it get's driven mileage and wear and tear mean nothing to me. What are you saving garage queens from? You die one day and someone else gets to drive it. Makes zero sense.

 

haha no my floors on my honda are 100% rust free,the undercoating they put on them was a smart idea my quarters on the other hand have some rot but nothing that wouldnt stop me from just patching them up to get plenty more life.I have to have 2 cars because for 1 it would make no sense to drive my trans am everywhere when im getting roughly 20MPG at best the way i drive it or i could drive my honda and not care if it gets a scratch or ding and can drive 360 miles on 1 tank of gas wich equals out to about 35-37 MPG to me that makes sense.

 

I've sees at least 1 model of EVERY car rust out and rot in half.

Don't matter whether its a thirdgen, honda, saturn, or something else.

Unless it doesn't have an ounce of metal in it, it WILL eventually rust out.

 

DD is a 2004 Dodge SRT-4 - Since the new house only has 1 garage space, the 91Z28 gets it.

 

never seen a rusty corvette!!!

doh!

 

my TA is finally getting a break!

just got a 02 Ford Taurus for a daily while my fiance drives my 04 Nissan Titan to work... she works 1/2 mile from home.
