Your Daily Driver / Other Cars ?

[jrc4y4]

Two more or less daily drivers - or as close as I get these days to driving anything daily.

First, my 2004 Ram 2500 4x4 quad cab, Cummins/48RE. Bought new in December of 03, only has 130,000 miles on it because I don't drive it as much since I retired 20 years ago. Stock except for a Smarty Jr. set on 100 hp and a FASS lift pump.

Second, my wife's 2012 Mercedes E350 that we bought off lease in December of 2014 with 15,000 miles. Now has 55,000 miles.

This naturally aspirated 3.5 liter motor has 12:1 compression ratio, just over 300 hp, and will get over 30 mpg on a trip.

Studebaker

Guy by my old house had one with a bumper sticker that said “bail out studebaker”

Can you share the awesome dusters rear rally specs? 15x8 or 15x7's? Backspace? Thanks

Front - 225/60-15 on 15x7 (4.5 bs). Slight fender lip roll and maxed out the fender brace. Rear - 255/60-15 on 15x8 (4.5 bs). I use a small spacer in the rear (3/8" iirc) and I have a 8.25 with stock spring location. They may fit without spacers on an 8.75. The 8.25 is a touch more narrow (see here)

My daily beater.. 2020 Camaro LT1 6spd.. the stripped down SS if you will. 6.2 and a TR6060 transmission with dumbed down features.. it doesn’t even have a rear spoiler. It’s not too hard on gas either.. regularly get 24-25mpg on my work commute.

Well, blew the engine out of the truck but luckily my mechanic gave me a loaner, so right now I'm running a late 90s early 2000s Corolla

Took "sexy" to the ghetto for burgers today. This car is as quiet and tight as my new 300C.
