POLL - Is your 100 your daily driver?

[bozncsurf]

Wife and I daily ours

Mine: 03 TLC with 210k

Hers: 05 LX with 100k

Offered to get her anything out there - she keeps saying no!

 

[trdcorolla]

Daily my 06 LX470 currently with 171K all winter. Summer I use either my 96 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR or my 06 Aston Martin V8 Vantage on nice days and the LX on inclement days. Neither of the 2 are any better on gas though. All my vehicles are pigs. But like stated above. They are paid for. View attachment 1941937View attachment 1941942

Damn Gina!

The LX replaced my Audi A4 as a daily to allow for 3 kids in car seats. My soon to be sold fun car is a 911 Turbo. I'll drive that from time to time when I can. I have about a 30 mile round trip commute so it's not terrible for fuel cost.

I bought my 2000 LX470 to be a toy. Armored her up, lifted, etc. Some how over my 13 months of ownership I've done 15,000 miles hahahha

Just a random fact, I have access to a commercial scale at work. But I had been interested in what she weighted and finally took her over with ARB front/rear, 33s, fullsize spare, tools, work gear.

6080lbs lol

I guess skids will end up being aluminum Haha

I'll probably end up dumping my 2015 Ram and trading it in for something worthy of being a second/weekend car. Maybe a new L-certified GX460 or LX570??

All of a sudden I feel like I've walked into the wrong bar...

Nice 911, nice Aston though.

 

[jtb517]

Daily drive a TL Type S 6MT. Use the LX470 on the weekends.

 

[Usterzai]

I bought my LX last year, I drive it daily to work and gym, and I sometimes I wish my commute was longer so I could enjoy it. My commute to work is 2 minutes and to the gym is 5 minutes less than 10 miles a day.

 

[Hokie LX]

Mine is my daily most days. Occasionally one of the other vehicles is driven.

 

[Ca lc]

I bought my lc to drive on the weekend. Figured I’d drive my wife’s Mazda 3 (42 mpg) to commute and then drive this on the weekend.

I like driving my cruiser way too much. I drive it every day. Luckily my commute is 25 miles round trip. 00 with 160k.

 

[EZDog]

Nope
The 100 is my 4th in line really.

2010 Element is main DD unless I need the Sprinter or Tundra for what each of them offers alone.
The Sprinter can Haul almost anything and the Tundy tows like a Big Dog!

LC is really just for fun and road trips for fun when not towing so far otherwise the Fuel economy just does not make sense for me.

 

[suprarx7nut]

Daily for me. My commute is 20 miles of perfectly straight, slightly bumpy county 2 lane roads. The 100 is a perfect DD, IMO. It's very quiet, very comfortable and very safe.

If I had extra garage space I'd buy a $20k LS460 with fancy cruise control, but short of that I can't imagine commuting in anything else.

 

[Somebodyelse5]

I dd my 100 (sometimes dd my 80 too), even though gas is expensive the maintenance is cheap and I don't have a payment

 

[TXLX100]

Daily driven 1998 LX with 195k miles. I spend $80 a month in gasoline for work and around town trips, so not enough gas money to consider anything else. It got too old for the wife to drive so I gladly took it over. Originally bought it as a big heavy vehicle to haul my kids around in 2011. My last daily driver was a built 1997 4runner with 350k miles so this is like a luxury car to me.

 

[chrisratz]

I sold my daily driver about a month ago, so I'm daily driving the hundy as I search for a clean and reasonably priced E39 M5. Happy to be driving the cruiser in the mean time.

 

[changingground]

233k LX470- daily every day. I owned and daily drove a 3/4 crew cab pickup before this, and it's fuel economy was 30% poorer and it was a struggle to park. The Lexus feels like a gocart when compared to the Ford. And the Lexus pulls the tree trailer just as well as the pickup.

 

[87warrior]

312k and she is my daily (40 miles round trip)! This old high mileage Land Cruiser has made car shopping for the wife very challenging since I expect any new car with under 1k miles to ride better than the 100... most of them don't

 

[Matthew810]

We daily ours as much as we do any of our fleet. 4 cars and 2 drivers. My wife has been driving it lately and I've been driving our Volt and just switched back. She already asked when she's getting the cruiser back. Wasn't going to drive it in the winter but once I got the Krown treatment done I felt better letting the wife drive it in bad weather, especially with the kids. Only vehicle that didn't get driven in the winter is my dad's truck. It's a nothing special 2 wheel drive 03 f150 but it was his last truck and both kids came home from hospital in it so I try to keep that one clean. Figure I can buy another 100 if I have to. But I love this truck.

 

[Alibaster]

Well I think it’s safe to say that non daily drivers are in the vast minority here.

 

[Beams37]

100 is my daily. 5-20 mile daily commutes. my LS swapped 60 is my weekender/fun vehicle.

I’m interested in hearing about that swap. I have a possible future donor LS1 I want to throw in a 60.
