Poll: Daily driver or weekend Sports Car
I'm thinking of getting a beater since even though the coupe is more practical than like a 350z, i might need another for room plus possible snow day alternative, so just curious how the other coupe drivers are in this category, what position their car is.
4wd on the audi for snow

I say it like this... there are a few cars that wouldnt be good as a daily driver or snow car...
Those are actual sports cars with 2 actual seats more than 350HP, & RWD & most dont usually have traction control (some do), or all season tires.
My I by cars to drive. I live in Cleveland, Ohio. I plan to drive my G daily, snow & all.
I look at it like this, some people buy trucks to haul **** or the like them, same thing with an SUV for the kids & junk.
My I have no kids, dont need to haul around a lot of stuff, like something sport, quick, good for ins. I dont need a Camaro, or Mustang those are are decent cars & can be daily drivers, just I dont think they have the traction control.

I know you guys probably think old volvos are gay, but you can do a lot to em. They are balanced very well. The turbo model of my car can easily produce over 300 HP. Good for V8 Conversions too. Interested in more...
