I'm on the search for a daily driver as well. I don't trust parking my car anywhere, and I hate watching the miles rack up on it. I've only owned it almost 5 months and have 3500 miles already. That's dumb as all hell.

The 93-97' Toyota Corolla's are supposed to be bullet-proof in terms of reliability for the most part (depending upon mileage and previous care/maintenance) of course. They are many other vehicles out there to get that should provide for a reliable daily driver. A decent vehicle can be found under $3000, just be selective and patient. When buying, or looking at the vehicle, ask the owner if he or she agree to allow you to bring it to a mechanic for an inspection. You want to at least what parts will need replacement in the near future, how much it will cost, etc. If the owner doesn't agree, don't buy it.

Hahahahaha, that would be AWESOME if I could afford a badass daily driver, but I've sunk to much money into the Camaro. So, I'll be rolling in a fart mobile. I'll just tint the windows, so nobody can see that I'm the one driving it, lol.

Yeah, I already picked up one of those "speed" helmets that are for downhill skiing that look like something out of the movie "Aliens". It'll make me feel like the Corolla's a total beast.

Yea just put 5% all around no one will know. It would be nice to have a beater to drive around and not car what happens to it when you park it. I would prob get an old chevy truck and rattle can it flat black! Haha

Haha, yeah that would be awesome. I love when you don't have to care about door dings, idiot people, etc. I want to be able to park in the most tight parking spots and laugh as I walk away, lol.
