Whatcha got and it's not real unless you show us a pic. I'm talking your take-anywhere car, park it on the street, it gets dinged and chipped and you hose it off and it's ready to go again. It never gets near the Wolfgang stuff and it run at the sight of a foam cannon....

I stupidly bought this miserable Juke new for trips up to Tahoe or when I want to go drinking and leave it downtown overnight. Nissans are maybe the worst cars in the world. I should have gotten a Wranger or Tacoma, since then the X1 and Macan have come out that would be much more palatable alternatives as well.

Closing in on 197K miles. 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Drive anywhere, park anywhere, go anywhere. Roll the windows down, crank the radio, and red neck it around town. I'd park it on the lawn if my wife would let me.

i used to have a 1999 Camry that had 200K mi, this past Saturday I replaced it with a Prius! I drive 2K miles a month to work (SF to Palo Alto) and don't want to put that on the 911

No pic , but a 2013 Mini Cooper hatchback. Base model. Fun to drive and almost 40 mpg. Had to get it as the German girl doesn't like getting up at 6am to go the 'bucks. . I don't like the color of the wife's car and won't drive it. Call me shallow.

Almost too much for a daily driver/beater especially considering my office is only about a mile from home. I keep saying I am going to save some money and trade it in on a Honda or Toyota but it is fun for the short commute
