Daily Driver or Weekend/Track Car?

[usuckpoo]

I think you guys are talking about 2 different things, obviously because the size of your wallets are significantly different.

Those who ONLY currently have a skyline as their only car contemplate leaving it at home so they wont have to worry abt it getting dinged or damaged or piling on the ks, more significantly so because they want to keep it in tip top condition.

For those with much larger wallets and extra cars at home, the skyline IS their daily, its the car they dont mind getting dinged, bashed up, or piling on the ks cos this is their daily.

Its the same like some rich saudi oil tycoons who drive 360s as their daily driver...they dont care if it gets beat up or so...

ITs all abt the size of the wallet

I have a 240rwkw R33. I have a 1990 Ford Laser which I gave to my brother which he doesn't have his license yet. I use the Laser if my R33 is in the shop but I absolutely hate driving it around town and anywhere in fact when I could be driving the Skyline.

The Skyline is my daily driver and weekend joyrider. I didn't just spend $10k on mods for it to be driven 100-200km on the weekend.

I enjoy being in my Skyline so I drive it wherever I can I know sometimes you take risks with parking etc. but it's worth it when I get to jump in and drive off.

I actually look forward to driving home from work each arvo because I get to drive the Skyline. With the Laser, I never got that satisfaction. If I was to buy a daily shitter though I'd prob get an AE82, at least then I get some fun.

You guys have it all wrong (except for Dundan)...

Get a *NICE* daily driver. That's what you're going to be spending 95% of the time driving around in. This is what you're going to be driving around in all the time, why the hell would you subject yourself to driving a $1000 sh1tter everyday just because you're too scared to drive your skyline in case it gets hurt?!?! What's the point in that? You've got it all back-to-front :Oops:

After you have a NICE daily driver, go buy yourself a weekend/track car... Something that you wouldn't cry like a little baby over because someone dinged the door at the local shopping centre, or that you blow up at the next trackday. After-all, you only use it for fun and games, so who cares if you fix it when it blows up?

I don't know about you guys, but there's no way in hell I'm doing 20-30,000kms a year in a sh1tbox. I want to ENJOY those kms, and not drive around in a deathtrap torture chamber just so my "nice" car doesn't get hurt.......... or driven :uhh:

disclaimer: of course this doesn't apply to those people who can afford a Mercedes CLK55 daily driver AND an R34 GTR track car

and the 11th commandment was "thou shall own a r31 skyline.... and thou shall have respect!"

The r31 is quite possible the best car in the world

I would trade my wagon in on a spanking m5 though

traitor

go and take a warm blade to the lower half of your neck

but yes, r31 is the best car in the world. series 1/2 with left taillights that retain 3 litres of water, door knobs that fall off, and wanky young drivers

mark you are a violent young man. you need to come out tonight and relax. I will even let you do a burnout in the GTR if you behave.

[Beer Baron]

I do.

Shouldnt you be out getting up close and personal with some unsuspecting farm animals?

[Blitz]
