Default just curious...

How many of you choose to modify your daily driver as opposed to having a completely reliable/stock daily driver as well as a project car to modify at your disposal without worrying about reliability? I'm starting to consider getting a project car to work on so that I can learn as I go without causing interfearance with my normal transportation needs. I just want to be able to explore new tuning methods and ideas of my own without worrying too much about the reprocussions....

Yeah I tried that and somehow my project car got taken over as a daily driver for my girlfriend.

I think its great if you can hack two cars. My mustang is for racing and I have the BMW for daily fun. Down here I guess it aint that bad but in N.Y. the emissions laws suck and so you cant get away with too many radical mods. Thats one of the reasons I decided to build a race car for track use, plus I wanted to get off the street. I think the ///M3 a great car from the factory so I chose to leave it stock and not have to worry about breaking anything or voiding my warranty. I use the van in bad weather and to do running around for bullshit and tow my Mustang.

I am in the process of modifing my old daily driver(95 Mustang GT) at the moment. Although my current daily driver has alot more mods I baby it. My other mustang is for abuse. I dont have to worry about being w/o a car. Also as soon as I am done with my 95 GT I am going to start on my Spitfire hopefully I can eventually do a rotary swap.
