I use my ti to practice drifting and high performance driving.
This is a very fun car to toss around in empty parking lots, esp. on wet surface. More thrill than any front-wheel/all-wheel drive cars. __________________

Daily driver. I drive at least 150 kilometres a day. and i need to use my car for work so i drive all over town up and down the coast for work.
i plan on driving it for a few more years, then buy another daily driver then it will become a project car. | | | | | 11-13-2005, 02:16 PM | #19 | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Ashford middlesex Posts: 12 |  vroom vroom

Seeing how my commute these days is via bus, my ti has become my weekend driver. My '94 Toyota pickup is my daily driver now -- a little over a mile to the park & ride, where it sits in the elements all day. As for why I don't drive to work: easy 25-minute bus ride in the express lane vs. 1+ hour in Seattle gridlock and $8/day parking downtown. What would you do? | | | | | 12-13-2005, 08:21 AM | #22 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Brecksville/Cleveland Ohio Posts: 259 |
i use it as a snow plow in the winter and a fast little sports car in the summer (just kidding about the snow plow but sometimes it feels that way lol) __________________

I have a ton of cars. But the BMW is my daily driver. I put 90+ miles on a day with my commute. The only thing I find with the car is that the stock seats suck. To me they are very uncomfortable. I am 5'11" and 225 pounds. New seats are planned for the future. I do have a spare set of Sparkos, but those are fixed back design... need access to rear seats. | | | | | 02-17-2006, 05:56 PM | #28 | | Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Tulsa,OK Posts: 51 |
