Kinja'd!!!

Why are these stickers always on mundane cars, albeit with slight mods? Like, no shit it’s daily driven, why wouldn’t you? Oh you lowered your Escape? AND YOU DAILY DRIVE IT? Congrats, it’s still as practical as a Focus.

Along with that, why do people buy things like ST’s, and not drive them like it’s going to hold value. It’s not a low production car. And also, why the hell did you mod it when you don’t intend on driving it?

That is all.

Now that I have I have a “weekend car” I sort of understand not daily driving something, it does make that car more special every time you drive it.

I wouldn’t consider an M3 a mundane car. I kind of meant like fairly normal, cheap to maintain cars.

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of you mod the hell out of your ST and then drive something during the week.

I don’t know, I just can’t picture putting that much into an ST.

Yeah one of our old lube techs had a 2nd gen mazda3 with an intake and that was just one of his many stickers. Like, what else do you do with a mazda3? Not even a speed3. He also had that garbage Paul walker quote that he never actually said on his dash.

Yeah. And big surprise but I replaced his trans at 70k cuz he’d already burnt up the clutch and then the guy he paid to do it after work fucked it up and the diff blew a hole in the case.

Wow, I didn’t know that was a thing. That is laughably dumb.

Better than “locally hated” Which around here I usually see on lifted bro trucks, and one beat up old neon. like, I didnt hate you or you stupid truck. But now I’m getting there. Maybe it’s meant to be a self fufilling prophecy.

My friend drives a 2004 Mazda6 with close to 400,000 miles (seriously). She does her best to keep it nice (she’s a car girl), but you can tell by looking at it that it has a ton of miles.

She has one of these “daily driven” or “daily driver” decals and I’ve never understood it.

All I think of when I see those is “please say you hate my truck, it’s all I have and I need this”.
