whats your daily driver?

Mine is a 2010 Audi A4 Avant. It has been mildly upgraded with an ECU flash from Stasis (no longer in business) a Stasis stainless exhaust, Eibach Pro Touring suspension upgrade, and Audi S4 front brakes. It replaced my 99 Dakota sport 2wd pickup that did not like the winters here in PA.

Planning on having this as my daily. Just need it to cross the Pacific Ocean first.

Looking forward to the challenge of driving in the gutter and sliding across the bench seat to swipe the boom gate at work. Yes, I'm gonna lose the tramp rods!

im going to have to show this to my buddy. He's been a Harley guy forever and has been talking bout getting a non-harley. He says its too much of a PITA to work on, not the most comfortable ride (and it's a full-blown bagger) and waaay to expensive to fix and what not.

He was looking at Goldwings (which are quite nice IMHO), but he never mentioned a Triumph.

Yes that one is more of a street warrior. I wouldn't want to ride it long distances as the sitting position is not comfortable. Mine is a cruiser that beats all baggers pretty much except for a boss hoss. I like how mine handles for such a big bike

In order of purchase, I had a 2011 Ford F150 FX2 4 door with the Eco Boost V6. I traded it for the 2014 RAM 1500 RT with a 5.7 Liter Hemi. I traded it for a 2015 Ford F150 FX4 then traded that when I retired for a 2016 Nissan Frontier extended cab pickup truck. In June 2018 I bought a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino I plan to use for my daily driver and sell the Nissan. As you can see, I'm not strictly a Mopar guy. It would have been cool to have a left hand driver Dodge Ute but the El Camino will have to do.
