what school do you come from?

[WileE]

I'm "Old School"

 

[Budnicks]

Hemi-ItIs believe me I know....LOL...

 

[306Doba]

B and C but mostly B. Hopefully can afford D one day ;)

 

[MoparBill]

I guess I'm in 'C'- I like them to look stock but drive better. I like factory colors and interiors, but prefer electronic ignition and TTI exhaust. I also like to change out the front drums in favor of MoPar discs- this usually means 15" wheels instead of 14". I like concours cars, but they don't fit my budget!

 

[jbearden]

I really like the stock appearing look with subtle touches like 4 wheel disc brakes,hiden wires under the hood,better handling and so on.

 

[65hemi]

stock looks with hot rod drivetrain

 

[99ss]

Never went to school...LOL each car is different and as such get handled differently... The 69 RR I've decided will be as it came from the factory as best I can. My other car is a 99 and the only thing it retains is the stock body panels and glass... All else has been upgraded to handle the power it makes from oustside to inside

D :headbang:

 

[69clone]

Depends, my 69' should be low 10's this season and will keep getting faster. My future b bodies and cummins will probably fall under B or C option.

 

[D575]

These cars weren't all that great stock. like drum brakes. holy shi* I could hardly keep it on the road. I believe in , what ever it takes to make you happy.

 

[RustyRatRod]

How bout pour gas on it and burn it and give up cars altogether?

 

[gwenge]

Who is this guy?! :sign5: Haha.

 

[Meep-Meep]

I'm a day two guy so that might fit in with #3. I also believe that if you can change it back and no one will ever know what was done then have at it. If the car is a total basket case then just about anything you do to keep it going is good.

 

[day1glo]

Unfortunately I'm a "stuff it in the third stall and pile lawn tools on it for the winter" kinda guy : (

I'm actually in the Drive It Like You Stole It school, but I didn't see that as an option.

I'm generally against over-defining terms, but one thing has been bothering me as of late is the use of the term "daily driver". I've always considered a daily driver to be just that, i.e., a car that is driven daily for commuting to work, school, going to the store, etc. In short, a car that is used on a regular basis to go from point A to point B and back again. But after going to a lot of shows and cruise-ins recently, it seems that more and more the term "daily driver" is being used to define any car that is driven to events other than car shows. For example, if you trailer your car to car shows, it's a trailer queen. If you drive your car to car shows and that's it, it's a show car. If you drive your car to car shows and also car-related events like cruise-ins, it's a daily driver, and I don't see a car actually being a daily driver unless its actually being used as a daily driver. If all you're doing is driving that car to special events, it's not a daily driver.

This may seem nitpicky, but the reason for my concern with this is two of the last three shows I attended broke cars into two categories: Show and Daily Driver, with the Daily Driver category being judged differently. When I talked to other supposed daily driver owners, I didn't find a one of them who actually drives their car regularly! They drive to shows, cruise-ins, and other special events or nights on the town, but never to things like work or school or to the store. They are being misleading by passing off what is actually a show car that sees very limited use as a daily driver that actually sees a lot of use, so they can get judged using an easier standard.

#2

My project had to be a driveable one so bringing it back to life and keeping it running is important to me while at the same time returning as much as what is seen to a stock like appearance but with a modified drive train nuttin like 500+ hp Also into tribute's to a specific model like A12. Although my car is not a factory A12 I am giving it a repop hood from one for the look all said and done it will not win shows but will be a fun piece of machinery to drive!

Not to mention that many of them, dare I say it, are butt ugly in stock trim.
