at work we have 5 sets of speedbumps between the front gate and reception (where i clock in). then another 2 sets to get to where i park. its stupid and my starlet doesnt like speed bumps, sounds like the suspension is going to fall off :(

I use my Starlet as an everyday car, I got an '05 plate Micra which i want to drive instead but cant afford the two insurance premiums. Shame really.

Dont see the point in having another car to drive during the week, its a starlet at the end of the day :D

Mine gets used all the time, no point in buying a nice car and having it sat in the garage not getting used!!

Hmm, your different than me then! even if I had a lamborghini murcielago i would still use it all the time.
False economy buying something to not use it!

Like those people (women usually?! sorry :p) who buy clothes 'just for best' then never wear them... wtf?!!!!

i have two reasons why i only use it in good weather.
one, is that it gives me time to do long time consuming modifications on my car.
my brake conversion took me over a month to complete.
my fmic project is taking me ages to get exactly right.

if i was to use the car as my only car, i wouldnt be able to do half the things i want to it.


the other reason is that when the car doesnt get wet and shitty all the time, its doesnt need cleaning much at all and when i want to do things on the car its clean, easy to work on and nothing is seized up and rusty. coilovers are a pig to adjust when they are caked in rust and grit.

It's a hot hatch they're ment to be used all the time. Unless you've put on a very loud exhaust and stupidly hard low suspension it's great for a daily drive.

well sometimes i feel like an old man getting out of my car, my damn back hurts me!
although my work is kind far away from home plus im doing that 2 times a week, so i aint SOOO much bothered by it but im bothered by the mileage stacking up...anyway i dont have any other choice so i make myself enjoy it (boost, S turns)

it is my daily driver i enjoy driving it evan tho it gets driven like a pussy on the way to work and back i occasionally let rip when in the mood. wish i had a sensible car to drive everyday tho the main reason being i dont wanna rack up thousands of miles on my glanza.
i love the rock hard teins and the viberation from my polybush mounts and the nur spec humming lol....
