Who's got the prettiest daily driver?
Since Benoit started that "Ugliest Daily Driver" thread, I thought I'd start a "Prettiest Daily Driver" thread and see if anything surprising or new shows up here. At this point in the game, and especially if you've been reading posts here for years, you feel like you've seen it all after a while. Since there's new people popping up here all the time, maybe we'll end up with some treats.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so "prettiest daily driver" is totally subjective.
Still, I'll go first. I like the older BMW's (late 80's M6's) and some newer BMW's - M5's and new 750i's. I also like newer Mercedes (like the CL63, E63 and S63's for instance), but for a car only costing $9-10k now, my old 740i is a great used car bargain, and "pretty" to me.
A good color for a 993 AND a BMW
A boxy yet timeless shape
An oldie but a goodie interior with Vavona Redwood in the sport models
The M Parallel Wheel - easy to clean and still looking good 10 years later
So - got a "pretty" daily driver? Some might use the word "hot" instead of pretty. My wife has an Acura that I wouldn't call pretty OR hot. It's just, a capable Japanese car, to me... Would this really raise your blood pressure? (see below)

Here's mine...a 6-speed 
It's tough to beat a BMW for a daily driver. Oh...I just listed this one for sale in the Rennlist Classifieds sections...BMW section.

Tough act to follow. 993 DD wins for me. M3 Cab close second.
I'm gonna cheat a little. This is my true "daily driver" as I put more miles on this than anything. 2001 Pete 379L, currently has 2.4 MILLION KM on her. Rebuilt engine/tranny and paint job in June 06 @ 1.4 million KM. Was put into much reduced service just last week with the arrival of a new Pete. This and my blue 95 993 are two vehicles I NEVER wish to part with. Not as sexy as the Buick, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.

[QUOTE=Falcondrivr;7210360]Wait.. I alternate between these two:
Isn't that the FDM corporate jet?
Rick wins.
Rinty: I run in BC only. Nice because I'm not gone from home too long. I think I could tell you where every single pothole in the province is though.

Tim - that is a beautiful rig. I drove boom trucks for a couple summers way back when, and I remember lusting after Petes.... Those pics make me want to quit my current profession and hit the road 
Not in the running here, but the Scooby is a pretty fun d/d. Aftermarket springs, sways, droplinks, a few bushings, lightweight wheels, and a proper alignment make it a reasonable weapon. Here's a little warm-up on a cold morning at Mosport (too cold for slicks).

My stomp and go gasoline addicted 507 hp/465 ft lb daily driver.
p.s., Steve, your face lift E38 (and also the last 2001 version, too) is the prettiest 7er ever built, imho.
