2006 Nissan 350z convertible.

Work from home mostly so it doesn't get many miles. About 80k now.

When it rains, the Z stays in the garage and the GMC 1500 rolls.

My daily driver is a 2015 Subaru Outback with more than 340,000 miles on it. Still looks and drives great. Ordered it new from the factory when my daughter was playing softball.

I think I just read that the new M5 weighs more than the current MX5 SAV, or whatever they are calling it. That's just crazy.

I’ve got all you beat. I have 6,000 miles on a 2022 F150.

It does.

The previous 5 was just excellent.

Smooth and quick, even in 6 configuration.

Depending on the year driving it is better than letting it sit. If it's C5 it will probably have issues sitting for a week.

I will come October. 1986 ford mustang gt. Found one in 2023 and won it at auction. Buddy of mine is getting it road worthy for me. My first car I purchased was a 1986 ford mustang GT.

While my “toy” is not a DD, I can appreciate those that drive their cars daily. Unless they are a rare optioned, museum piece that rarely sees the light of day, they need to be driven and properly maintained as well. I feel a sadness when I see a vintage car parked in a backyard rotting away with little or no hope of ever seeing the road again.

It probably shouldn't have phantom power drain anyway. Non car people aren't going to start pulling fuses and relays watching an ohm meter to see what circuit is staying energized.

Does a 22 year old Jeep Wrangler count as a toy?

Anything with an inline 6 and a manual transmission is a toy, IMO.

I enjoy seeing those trucks in good shape like that.


It's in descent shape. I have a laundry list of things I want to do to it. LS swap is at the front.

My DD is a 991.2 Turbo S but it isn't much of a compromise except in room. It is fairly compliant except on really poor pavement. The wife's daily is an F90 M5 Comp which she planned to trade for the new M5 but the new one seems to have missed the mark for us.


I never kept up with the BMW model stuff so I guess I have a F90? My 2021 X5M just ran out of warranty and it’s got 31,000 miles on it.

They missed the mark for me when I saw the new price
