Daily vs. Fun Drivers

He has 6 cars, all original, and all older than I am. They may not be very impressive but they are all very clean/run and drive... to each their own my man.
to stay on topic,
my daily: 2006 Grand Prix (2010-present)
weekend warrior: 97 L32 swapped Monte Carlo (2005-present)
sold fun car: 99 Monte Carlo (2008-2009)
All the cars ive owned have been daily drivers, and they've all been fun as well. There is no separation for me.
There was a short time however when I first bought the gto that I still had the wrx and was trying to sell it. So the gto became my daily driver and the wrx was the fun weekend car. I wish it couldve stayed like that, but i can no afford 2 cars.

Word, it is a pretty sweet Monte collection. I am a fan of the Monte, so I enjoy it.

Harsh hit on Knightfan; he just likes sharing with other car guys.
Current DD's:
2007 Corolla (Mine)
1999 Regal GS (Wife's...owned since 2001)
Current Toys:
1993 Lightning (Mine...owned since 2004...mid 12's and daily drivable)
1987 IROC (Wife's...owned since 1995...55K original miles)
As for previous DD's and toys...there were about 50 of them; I could list them but it would take a lot of space and no one would really care.

Oh God... Well, I've never been good at drawing the line between DD's and fun cars, I've bought all my cars becuase they were fun/ cool and have never been one to have a garage queen. That being said, here's the list from first to last cars owned.
