Default Daily Driver Other than your GT3

I did a search and looked back to 2017, so if there is already a thread on this I apologize. I also never go to off topic or whatever it is called.

For the days when you aren’t driving your GT2/3/RS what does everyone drive?

Since 2012 my DD has been an F350 that I use to tow often, recently just added a new Land Cruiser after being out of an SUV for almost ten years and really like it.

I DD a 2004 BMW 330i .. had it for 10 years and it is starting to be a bit too "young" of a car for me. Thinking of a 4runner with TRD pro looks but not the tires.

F80 M3 manual. Third generation owned, but unfortunately last. Don't like the direction of BMW these days.
Incoming: Big old pickup because, Texas.
Thankfully wife has a luxury SUV and I can bounce around town when needed.

If I get lucky in this wonky market, I'll also partial daily a 997.2 gt3!

2006 997.1 Carrera S Cabriolet and 2016 981 GT4. Haven’t driven the GT4 a lot lately though as I have to keep it in storage 90 minutes away from where I live. Shipping it to my new home in Massachusetts in the next month or two and it will become my daily during the months when it isn’t snowing hopefully. 997.1 C2S is staying in California and will be my daily when there.

Am also picking up a second gen F-150 Raptor which will be my hauler and daily during the winter months in Massachusetts.

2019 F150 Raptor , makes a great compliment to a 997 GT. I also have a 2020 Honda Civic Sport Sedan with the 6spd manual that is a great car for the $$.

Golf R. It's silly how much fun it is to drive, and it's 100% stock today minus the "I'm 18 years old front plate mount".

2012 VW Touareg TDI best daily I have ever had. Plenty of power to tow the GT3 too when I need it.

B8.5 s4 manual. Have had the car since 2014. There is honestly nothing I would trade it in for given how good it is to drive in the snow and that it is actually quite fun to drive after adding some suspension mods to it. Even when I acquire a .1 gt3, I hope to keep it. Was a dream for me back in 2013 and is still a favorite of mine.

2018 Giulia Quadrifoglio. And have to say, if I had to sell off everything and bring it down to one this would be it. More fun than Fcars, AMGs, Porsches, and Mcars. Difficult to explain. But the dealer service is f*cked up. I think the car is dependable, but if you have a problem they don't have it together.

993. Kind of perfect city car for me. Small enough & slow enough to fit purpose.

2011 S4. DSG transmission. Solid car, have an AWE exhaust, which I think sounds great. Some small suspension upgrades. Has been through a couple water pumps and thermostats, also needed a new transmission at 80k miles. Has 113k on it now. However, it has started to rust, not just on the underside, but on the wheel well areas, and also a bit on the roof. I am planning to sell it next year and either get into an A6 with the same engine (3.0 supercharged), or a Lexus. I'd prefer a Lexus, but being tall, I cannot fit comfortably in some of them, such as the RX, IS, ES, etc. So I'll need to try an LS (large sedan), or an LX (large SUV). I have a great Audi independent local to me though too, so I can get it serviced there, but I do have concerns about the long term reliability of any German car when compared with Japanese.

Also am considering a 4Runner which 3 of my friends have, but I do appreciate getting loaners at dealers and I do not think Toyota does that. But granted, they never break, so the likelihood of needing one is low.
