The term Daily Driver makes me very angry.

Its a loving car. A CAR.

Sometimes I think America is more at odds with the Western World than Russia is.

Also "stick shift?" IT'S A MANUAL GEARBOX!!!

mine's faster and I bet it makes better noises too and I can sleep in it on camping trips :smug:


all I know is that I'm living in the east bay area right now and if I drove a tesla model s instead of a volvo I would have to rent another, slower, less expensive car to go visit my dad, who lives in mendocino county.


the "daily driver" is the car you drive to work every day, in contrast to a possible "project car," a truck used for working tasks, or an old convertible. many americans are affluent enough to own more than one car. I, in fact, own two; the other one is a 1988 Volvo 240 which was my first car and has broken down the same amount of times as my current 1998 V70R (none).

I know what a daily driver is.

Not sure it's about affluence...more about space and cheapness of fuel....oh and also no road tax at all.

I pay $712 dollars just have my car on the road...doesn't matter if I actually drive it or not.

my wagon hauls rear end, and pussy!!!

edit: I like volvos because they're known for their safety, unlike the Tesla, which decapitates its driver

1. Put rear seats flat
2. Put a mattress and a disco ball in the back.
3. Remove "Volvo" badge, replace with "Bang Bus"
4. Cruise around town looking for sexy ladies.

Tesla can't do this. Also, if the Volvo gets hit by an 18-Wheeler truck while you are loving you won't even notice.
