As everybody knows, my Sprint is not on the road (IT EXISTS THOUGH!!!) so everyday I get around in a Mazda MX6 Turbo...
 It isn't a bad little car, has electric windows, sunroof, cruise control, air conditioning (has more features than the sprint lol!) I've only just put the Eseries stickers on it today  So I was just wondering does anybody else get around in dailys and leave their Eseries to the weekend? Or is your Eseries you daily? Krys

Definately a daily, I can undertand you having a daily though.
Unless you have done some major work, the only e series you would think of garaging would be Sprints, FBT's and GT's IMO. (theres probably a few others too)

My CBR and the maverick are my everyday hacks. The EA isnt a daily because its getting worked on more often than it works.

I have a 2006 Corolla but that's not because I didn't want to drive my EL.
However, these days I'd rather have a daily to be honest... 500+kms out of my 40l tank corolla... versus 400kms out of my 60+l tank in the Ford.

My EAII is my daily. Since it's still fairly stock and is pretty good on fuel (for a Falcon), there's no point in getting another car.

Daily driver is only car ive got going at the moment lol.
'81 celica. aka ugliest rear end EVER. The worst part... it's older than me, yet 100 times more reliable than the 10 year old falcon ever was.

My EL is my only car. I drive it 200ks a week for work and then on the weekends I try to borrow either of my parents cars or bum a ride with someone if I go out. I try to drive it as little as possible.

well I do anywhere from 500-1500ks a week, so not really something I'd want to be doing in the sprint (if it was running)!
I see cars in Melb all the time with eseries stickers and look at them, then realise I'm in a mazda and they'd have NFI i was involved in the club - atleast I have stickers now! woo!
