What's everybody else drive? (for a daily or second car)

just curious what kind of vehicles you guys and gals drive if your tl is a major project like mine. I have a 2010 Buick Lacrosse CXL model, I got a killer deal on it (10 grand when it booked at 18k) Its loaded besides Navi and AWD. I have turned it into my sales tool for my job as I work at columbus car audio in columbus ohio. Put a full Hertz/Audison setup in it that sounds amazing, still getting the finishing touches on it but it knocks and will look pretty soon too lol. three hertz hi energy 10" woofers powered by an audison voce uno amp (1700 watts x 1 @ 1ohm, Hertz hi energy XL componenents up front, 6.5 coax in rear door and 6x9 coax in rear deck powered by an audison voce quattro amp running off an audison bit ten d processor and about three bulk boxes of hushmat to keep it sounding clean and deaden those rattles. Also did a katzkin leather replacement kit custom setup with stitching and perf inserts for heated/cooled seats. Heres some pics for reference post yours up!

The TL is my daily driver, but I also have two Maximas. A 2k2 that serves as another daily when need be, and a 1995 Maxima that is pretty much a garage queen. It only comes out on hot summer days. Weekends mostly.

I always wanted a 93+ Coupe MT and yet every one asking ridiculous price for it and the condition is no where close to it value.

Plenty of nice rides in here. Love the white Nissan and that beautiful older Acura coupe (more pics pls...including interior). Of course, not to mention that red Vette.

Here's mine:

ES250 was a rear car. I never really like the styling but I always like the fact that you could get one with a manual tranny.

I nominate the Legend (especially the Coupe) as the best car ever made. We need to petition Acura to bring it back.
