Jealous of the V70R, would love to have one.
Daily is a 98 V70XC with 232k. Tint, sound system, HID projectors, hitch, and wheels (which will be replaced in the next couple days).
And the eternal project, the Trans Am - more mods than I care to list.

This summer has been a rollercoaster for me in terms of my daily driver.
I've been dailying a Lexus IS350 for the past 2 years. Until my transmission took a **** last month. I replaced the transmission but overfilled it with fluid and the second one went out as well. Decided to park it until I calm down and fix it again.
After the IS350 decided that "it's not you, it's me - I need time", I reverted back to driving my Infiniti FX35. This was my first "real" car (not because a 2005 Prius isn't a real car [we aren't going to talk about it], but because I actually paid for it). This has been my back-up car for awhile and also a utility vehicle to haul **** (e.g. a donor Cobalt from Idaho).
So, why rollercoaster you may be asking? Well, I calmed myself down and went to my brother's shop to see if I can use his lift to fix my Lexus' transmission. Upon finding an open space in his yard to park and pre-occupied with the modern advancements in technology such as texting, I put the FX in a ditch. Turns out it wasn't a parking space, but a trench overgrown with grass. Long story short, me fuming, went and purchased a Lexus ISF i have been eyeing for a while now.
Here's the sad part. Same night after the coast trip, the ISF got vandalized. I was heart-broken. Why, oh why? Thankfully, insurance is picking up the tab. About 10k in damages. My apartment is like a carbon fiber weaving facility - so many parts... I'm picking it back up in 4 weeks. Soon... Soon... Anyways, onto my next daily driver:
I should probably get at least 1 of my cars fixed.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. I am very very pissed.

Thought I would try to revive this thread, as I am sure all of us love cars of all makes. I really enjoyed reading all of the posts and I am curious to see what other newer members drive..
* Black1995 3000gt Vr-4 is pretty much stock but is my favorite to daily..I had an NA auto one in high school and ever since then I wanted a VR4. The guy I bought it from inherited it from a handicapped gentleman who was planning to install hand controls and autocross it.. He had just put on huge ksport brakes all the way around with new rims and toyo tires before he died. I hope to also be in the car game right up till the end.
*Red Nissan 240sx has an SR20det swap and is fully built.. at 2600ish pounds with 350ish hp it is a lot of fun to drive.. I bought this fully modded and honestly it was an impulse buy. The guy who built it had it for 8 years and treated it as if it were his child. Unfortunately his wife made him sell it after getting pregnant with their 4th.. I feel bad cause I do not share the same appreciation for the car as the previous owner did.. and now that the goblin has taken over most of my garage the Nissan is parked out in the elements..
*1997 Silverado, an all around beater truck in which I traded a 2003 Yamaha raptor for and I swear this thing has had a rod knock for the past 2 years, it has been ran completely out of coolant on the hyway and it still keeps on kicking.. love driving something in which you do not have to worry about scratching or breaking because who cares!
*2011 Chevrolet Tahoe for my dad mobile
*Wife drives a 2016 Lincoln mkc
Looking forward to seeing other posts!
