my gtr is driven every day of the year if i dont take it to work my partner takes it to tafe we do aprox 600 k a week in it and driven normally it gives us about 450 k's for 62 litres of fuel (its cheaper to run around in the the commonwhore i used to own and is cheaper to run than our lite-ace 1.3 litre 8 seater wagon).

i cant see the point of having a great car and hiding it away from everyone how can you appreciate something if its hidden away and not driven.

Daily. Have a corolla but there is no point in selling it so it sits in the garage. (too much for RWC)

Bought the cefiro a year ago with about with 168,000 and just hit 200,000 last friday :)

Used to drive mine as a daily driver. As I worked evenings and weekeneds.

Now with the 9-5 M-F job in the CBD I cannot and drive the car on the weekends. Or evenings when I got out to dinner etc...

Has its bad a good points, less fuel but Im always itching to drive the car now.

everyday to and from work wish I had a company car though

i drive my 33 gtst everyday to and from both work places, and anywhere i go on weekends.

however, i did drive my NA 33 on the long trips more when i owned both.

lucky for me, both the places I work at are only 5km away from my house :nyaanyaa: so i've driven only 20,000kms since i bought it in sept '04

Weekend Warrior with instances during the week...

Again working in the CBD makes driving daily a little bit impractical - especially sitting in peak hour traffic watching your fuel gauge go down :D

Besides, what's better than going home each day in a Mercedes or a Volvo with a very friendly bunch of people squashed in like sardines smelling only a little bit better?

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
