1986 Mercedes 560sec :D

Putting some well needed work into it: Yesterday I repaired a slightly rotting quarter panel with a fair amount of sand paper and some serious bondo craft work. Today i'll be doing the other side with equal amounts of labor + pics of my work.

Then I need to have a hairline-cracked AMG wheel welded, the other 3 refinished, then mounted. Then, an AMG front bumper is on order, as well as a paint job. Motor+transmission swap happens as soon as the z is on the road!

380k miles and passing cars on the highway!!! Sounds mean with the rotted exhaust too :P

Z is our daily only during spring/summer months.

Otherwise, here is my daily :gapteeth:

1998 Honda Accord EX-V6 coupe. I lost the driver side muffler few weeks ago.

350192km and is still running well. 700 km on tank highway only or 600 km mixed. Regular gas, reliable, decent luxury options and auto :rotfl

Too many memories of my Accord and wont let it go unless it dies on highway oneday. :ohno:

The insurance in Ontario is outrageous. If it was like $100/month to insure, I would have insured both cars and drive Z during the weekend only.

Funny story how I acquired it, first my vert was my dd then my dad who got the car for me on my 16th birthday said I was putting too many miles on it because I went to Virginia Tech for school and went to neighboring schools almost every other weekend to party and then some girl backed into me in the parking lot. Pops wasn't too happy about that, so he took it back, got the damages fixed and repainted the whole car. It's still mine he just won't allow me to dd since he paid for it. So he ended up getting me a pearl white 2+2 and I drove that for a year. He then gets this Z33 and needless to say I was jealous because he never drove it and it sat in the drive way. The Z gods answered my prayers and made my brothers car break down, so my dad gave him the 2+2. So all that was left for me to drive was the Z33 and with a little persuasion saying stuff like "with all that traveling I'd get better gas mileage", "a more reliable car(2+2 had 12x,xxx, stuff would break on it that I couldn't fix and mechanics in college campus's will charge you an arm and a leg!)". This all happened to be the perfect domino effect for me and I ended up with a Z33 :gotme

edit: to explain the 03-05 headlights, it was involved in a front end collision and there for has a salvage title. I think if it didn't have that salvage title, I wouldn't be driving it :werd:

I have a company vehicle and company gas card. I drive 45-50,000 miles per year with my job so they provide my vehicle. When I'm not "on shift" I'm normally on standby and I'm required to have my van with me at all times... so that is pretty much all I drive. :)
It's a 2012 Chevy Express van

I have an '02 Taurus SES as my daily right now, only because this Wisconsin winter is never-ending.
Next weekend, I will be driving my 96 NA 2+2 every day, and then the intention is to sell the Taurus and get a Wrangler or something similar for the winters.

'11 Cadillac CTS-V and my TTZ alternate, but I hate putting miles on either. The big swap starts in August, so then the caddy will be DD.
