Pretty much, You have a daily driver because your modified car attacts too much attention from the cops and from general public
The cops want to stick a yellow canary on your windscreen
or Other drivers on the road want a piece of you and just gets annoying.
So you have a Daily driver, stock, does'nt grab attention, common..... and in some cases runs on fumes cause you modified car drinks too much.
your posts welcomed.

i voted no car.
but i can relate.
ive got one pushie for gettin around on (commuter)
and ive got the big hitter for show, but that takes too much fuel to push around
its sorta the same... i got like $10 000 in bikes... i gotta do something about that...
and before you tell me to get a car, remind me what fuel costs at the moment...

1.20odd for premium from caltex.
speaking of which, you reckon their fuel is good or diluted?
A few people tell me it's mixed, that's why it's cheap, others tell me there are standards, an otehr people tell me that there are standards but who checks.
Am i allowed to state which servo considering its a large company? or is that just not on?

if the fuel at the woolies servo's is diluted no is bp's and Shell, cause that's who we get the fuel off!
the reason why they offer cheap fuel is cause they already made 200% on the groceries u brought from them!
most of the time the loose money on the fuel, but make it up from the drinks etc!
u have nothing to worry about, and the fuel filters etc in the petrol plus's are next to nun! very sim chances of getting bad fuel!
only time u get bad fuel is when the water level in the tanks is wrong! and the managers of that server hasn't being monitoring them properly, that has nothing to do with the fuel more to do with maintance!

Likewise... I don't think its fuel is miscible in water... meaning its seperate layers?

shoulda just given it to me to look after so you could come back to it occasionally
i know
if anyone has any cars they don't need but still like, i'll look after them and use them for my daily driver. i'll pay for fuel but you have to pay insurance and rego.
we all win that way.

not necessarily so. make the second car the drag car, and no rego. and just kick gary out and take his spot.

Gary pays for the bills though

The second car would be the drag car. All a lot of hassle though.
