check-in - what are you driving?

Tue Nov 6 21:22:45 EST 2018

Hey all!
My 96. Was sent to a better place in 2014 when the brake lines rusted and I had to jump a curb to keep from hitting the car in front of me. Insurance totalled it out. Replaced it with an 08 VW R32. #3039.l of 5000 It was my daily until April and the old man in me decided to get something more comfortable. So I picked up a 15 Mercedes E350 Coupe. And I still have my 02 Frontier. So I still drive a Nissan. Just not impressed with anything they make now.

Funny this thread because I was pulled aside in a parking lot today in the Poconos by an older man delivering mail at a school asking about the car because he said he had a 92

I bought my 1991 SE-R new in 1991 when I was 18.  It was born on 12/90.   I am turning 46 this December and I still have that car!

Matt, I turned 39 last month also! October 27th. I got my first SR car when I was 18, crazy the similarities.

Oh boy, list activity!
Earlier this year, I replaced my beloved Mazdaspeed3 (which I moved on to from the SR20 world) after 9 years of miles and smiles. When we were expecting our first child, my wife and I agreed that I should get the "family" car as I have no commute. Her criteria: had to fit the dog and baby safely at the same time. My criteria: fun to drive with a bit more utility. Ended up with a '15 Audi SQ5 which has the ZF-8. Never had an auto trans vehicle before this so it took some getting used to but overall I've been very happy with it. Supercharger whine is no turbo spool, though! My projects are more of the rural and small engine maintenance type these days. Maybe just biding my time until the owner of my old turbo B13 decides to move on and she ends up back in my garage down the line...
Glad to see some old, familiar names back in my inbox. Got my first SE-R when I was 20 and turned 39 last month... time keeps on slippin slippin slippin....

I’ve been through a couple of boat tow vehicles in the last 7 years but now I have a 2003 Frontier for bad weather and a 2014 Jaguar XJ V8 Supercharged for everything else.  The ZF 8-speed auto is pretty amazing. It’s a hooligan car that you can toss around and have some fun.

My 1991 SE-R was a daily until about 2017.  I drive it about 1000 miles a year but it needs bodywork as the paint has started flaking off but thankfully I don't see any major rust.  I may daily it during the winter though so slightly worried about that.  I am in Baltimore.  I have this car as second owner since 1997 I think.  I want to restore the paint and probably not much else.  Car has 300k miles on it but just 200k on the engine with s3 cams and most of the bolt on that we're available in the early 2000s.

My daily now is a 2009 Benz E63 AMG with the 6.2L normally aspirated V8 and a 7.5Kish redline.  This is the most seriously rapid car I've owned and it handles itself well for a big car.  No manual trans but the 7speed auto and flappy paddles work well in manual mode.  It is also comfy and currently bone stock.  I have an AMG limited slip differential on the shelf I want to install though.  :)

My 91 SE-R hasn't been a daily since 2001?   I am barely putting 500 miles a year on it now.    Drive it enough to keep it alive.  She is due for an oil change and will change the fuel filter while I am at it.

My Daily is a 2013 Honda Accord Coupe V6 with (gasp) an automatic.   That was the first new car purchased with an automatic and honestly don't regret it.  The auto equaled the performance of the manual, got 3mpg better, and I drive in a lot of stop and go traffic so it took my driving fatigue level down bigly.

It's been a while. I wonder how many of us DD our cars still? I don't. My NX2000 has been track-only since 2007.

My DD is a 5 litre 2014 F-150 Supercrew, which will do towing duties when I (eventually) race the NX.

Stored on the lift in the garage, next to the NX, I have my Dad's old Daimler SP250 and his 1995 240sx, which I repainted recently. It has just under 97,000 kilometres on it still.
