Cold weather is here and the RC-F is hibernating. I don’t want all season tires and I’m not interested in salt on my car. I daily a 2017 QX80 because I have tons of kids and refuse to buy a minivan. I also have a 2014 Vmax with 2000 miles covered in dust. What else do you guys drive?

I have a 2014 Lexus RX450h AWD that does 95% of the point A to B in all weather. I also have my old modified Corolla XRS, which is primarily just for taking to the office, but I have been working from home so I have not driven it much in the last 1 year.

Had an Acura sedan for quite a while as my daily but figured I can get by with just the RC-F being Florida and all. So far so good, but I can't haul anything lol.
Have to rent or borrow a truck sometimes, but worth it IMO to daily drive the RC-F.

Wife drives a 2016 explorer. My winter ride is a 2009 Subaru Forester. While a 6 sec. 0-40 is less than exhilarating, the subie is pretty great for our snow and ice and is far more capable than it looks. Plus, it's old and beat to ****** so I don't worry about it. Trying to convince the wife to let me buy her a Panamera Sport Turismo. Unfortunately, she likes the explorer's higher seating position, saving money, and doesn't care what she drives.

I got too many. I do all maintenenace on our vehicles, so age doesn't concern me.

My daily was my wife's 07' Solara. Has around 235k miles on it. Very reliable and very comfortable. She was going to trade this in for $1k for her NX years ago and I said don't bother bring it back home and it's going to be mine..lol. I don't know to be honest with you this is always my go-to car. Even when tempting to drive the RCF I still end up picking this 99% of the time.



My 05' STi with around 80k miles. Had this since new. Currently and slowly brining it back to stock-ish form. I don't drive it a lot anymore and it's more of a garage queen. With how prices for GD's keep going up I'll just keep hanging on to it.


My wife's 18' NX with 30k miles. It's comfy but I really like the new 22' NX coming out. Seems like a great step up for Lexus.


Everyone has to have a truck right. My 01' Ranger with around 199k miles. I'd love a full size truck but for the little hauling I actually do the ranger has proved to be the most useful vehicle I've owned.


I've always loved w211's and this is the last year they did the body style. 09' with around 60k miles on it. I don't drive this much either, mainly if I am working on other cars or we need to haul 4 people round.



I guess motorcycles count as well this is my 08' Daytona 675. I also had an '06 Daytona 675 as a track bike but I sold that about five or six months ago. Trying to free up space in the garage. Plus I haven't done track days in years unfortunately so someone else can enjoy it.
