Cool DD Dsm?

I was just thinking about what people drive, dumb question right? But are you a daily DSM driver? I have been a DSM DD all summer, (knock on wood) with little to no problems. Hell I have been a DSM DDfor most of my DSM’s rebirth, when I rebuilt the motor 7+ years ago, at least in the summers. The number one thing I break is the FWD transaxles, good thing I can rebuild them. This winter I will be driving a shit colored 1984 Buick Skylark with the 2.5L 4cyl.

Re: DD Dsm?

This is the first time my Talon isn't my DD. Other than this it has been, when it was running that is! I DD my motorcycle when possible. Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a big ass wheelie

Re: DD Dsm?

mine was when i was in the military, because then when it broke, I could just knock on my buddies door in the morning and get a ride from him. But now that I have a job to go to, i bought a daily driver and since the day i got it, the DSM has been down. Can't wait to get it working and enjoy it a little, and then sell it!

Re: DD Dsm?

My DSM is my DD. That's probably why it's always breaking down and gaining mileage like nothing. Went from 76K to 115K in only 3 yrs. I gotta stop driving so much.

Re: DD Dsm?

My FWD TSi was my daily driver. It's gone so now my AWD TSi will be my daily driver.

Re: DD Dsm?

My Stealth is my DD in everything but winter (even did one winter with it). Only left me standed once (alt crapped out) and I was able to limp it home the next day with a jump.

I'm currently debating getting a galant VR-4 or Buick Regal GS as a replacement DD. I need a car with HP.

Re: DD Dsm?

If you can find one, i would go with the GVR-4 obviously thats my choice, but i would say more for the DD part because its got the AWD for the winter.

Re: DD Dsm?

I DD my GVR4 in the summer. Never left me stranded, but everything was new so it didn't have a choise. My Stealth will be my summer DD if I can get it tuned to 25-30mpg. If not I will switch between my Grand AM (winter car) and the Stealth (probably mostly the stealth though).

Re: DD Dsm?

I hope you mean the Festy is the most reliable car you have owned, and not the “best”. :-)

Re: DD Dsm?

Don't knock the festiva, I got the new and "better" Aspire, haha, its nice for a DD, you don't burn premium like its water on marathon day, you have to TRY to speed, and when you do break your DSM, you have a vehicle left to go get parts in.

Re: DD Dsm?

The DSMs have always been the DD. At 240whp or at 617whp, they were daily drivers because I'm a broke ass without money for another car.
