What Would Make Your Daily Driver More Fun To Drive?

[JB400]

Unfortunately for some of us, we can't use our chargers as daily drivers, whether it be too rare, high gas prices or just impractical.  So what would make your daily driver more enjoyable to drive, yet still be practical to use everyday?

I have a 00 Cougar.  2.4 v6 auto.  It gets 28 mpg,35 highway.  Unfortunately, it's front wheel drive. I'd have to base it off the Mustang like it was to begin with in the 60's.  Bring back the Eliminator stripe package.  I'd still keep it V6 for economic reasons.  I'd bring back the sequential tail panel that goes all the way across.  Best thing is, it could easily built, but I'll put my money in the charger, lots more fun.

vague question as in you want practical, but yet you want fun.

Fun be a charger, but practial seriously it be a civic getting 40mpg nonhybrid or nonelectrical

Nothing wrong with having your cake and eating it too.  But what I was getting at was, what would make your dd more appealing besides the fact it get gets you from point a to point b. and gets x amount mpg.

daily driver  ,  one that gets the best miles per gallon ,

I have an 03 Toyota 4x4 Hilux dual cab with a V6 as my DD.
A small block conversion would make it more fun 

[TK73]

Finished up the '73 in the Spring and started daily driving it. Other car is '08 Mustang GT.

Medical issues put me back in the 'Stang as it is more reliable...

SO,  either car is COOL to DD.

PS : my work commute is 6 miles round so gas mileage is no concern...

[Ghoste]

More fun?  Hmm, right now I wish the cruise worked all the time in the daily driver but Im not sure that would make it more fun just less annoying.  I suppose if I could sprinkle some magic dust on it one night and when I came out the next morning it was morphed from a rusty Caravan into a new Challenger THAT would make it more fun to drive.

[Road Dog]

My Daily is a 2011 Challenger. Getting all the numbnuts off the road would be a more enjoyable drive.

[Ghoste]

There you go!

[Cooter]

Mine is a 1994 Toyota Pick up. 22RE. Best little DD I've ever owned. Just installed a T-chain/guides/etc. 267K miles.
Still gets 25 MPG.

SO, I guess I would'nt change anything right now coming from a 1984 Subaru SW. Holy sh*t that thing was weak as rain water.

PS: Just wait till the trans goes out in tha V6 Mercury. Got any idea what it takes to install a trans in that thing?
Lemme put it this way...Ever seen an engine hanging from a wiring harness after removing the ENTIRE front end?

[Ghoste]

By the wiring harness?  Yeah that dont sound too fun.

[JB400]

Yeah, I know what your talking about.  It's bad enough just trying to change the inner tie rods.  You have to weld the factory ones solid before you can unscrew them.  There is no wrench available here to undo them. Replacements yes.  I plan on selling my car sometime next year before the trans goes out.  I'm at 165 now, I figure I'm good for another 10.  I go to car auctions on a regular basis, so I know all about them.

[Cooter]

PS, yes there is a wrench to unscrew them..It costs around $200.00 from Strap-On though.

Ok , but it wasn't available here in misery, excuse me Missouri. At least not in my hometown.

[Cooter]

here in misery, excuse me Missouri.

[Brads70]

I'd like to invent some electronic gismo that will make all the stop lights green when you get to them. Where I live I swear the city planners are all on crack! I can literally sit at one stop light and see 5 more! One would think in this day and age with all the computer stuff they could time them to keep traffic flowing. I feel like giving the city a bill for my waisted  fuel and brakes!  

[Ghoste]

They already have them but you have to have a vehicle with red flashing lights to qualify for ownership.

[Cooter]

Oh damn, a Soccer mom with 15 screamin' kids, on a cell phone texting, eating, trying to install make-up, screamin' at screamin' kids, AND she gets to make red go green???

Oh man, too much technology...Too much I tell ya'.

Well yeah, she had gps on one menu and the climate controls and the radio on another menu on the screen on the dash, all while trying to get Barney on the dvd player.

[Ghoste]

Those ones don't need red to go green they just drive through it anyway.

Not for them.... just me!

This is true..

Yeah, and it would be my luck to be the one that got pulled over.

What Would Make Your Daily Driver More Fun To Drive?

A chauffeur.

[Ghoste]

You know, a chauffeur isn't a bad idea.     You could arrive at your destination more rested and stress free.  My problem is being able to afford both a wife and the chauffeur company you so wisely recommend there.
