Do You Modify Your Daily Driver??
 
Just outta curiosity, since most of us are "car people," do you mod your daily driver as well?

Personally, I can't leave anything stock; everything gets "personalized." ;) I added a bunch of stuff to my Cherokee over the last few years, including silver gauge overlays, new stereo/speakers, clear corner lights, 18" Dodge Magnum R/T rims and tires, Bilstein shocks, rear disc brakes pirated from a '97 Grand Cherokee, and rear seat headrests also pirated from the same Grand. And it'll get a Dynomax catback as soon as the OEM exhaust rots off. :lol:

So, how 'bout you??

GP99GT 05-20-2008 09:29 PM

yep...nothing stays stock in my hands

Knipps 05-20-2008 09:29 PM

considering f-body = DD, yes.

qwikz28 05-20-2008 09:30 PM

sure... but not for performance really. i have a parrot bluetooth hands free kit and a tow hitch in my saturn. thats all she gets :)

Mike 05-20-2008 09:31 PM

yup

BonzoHansen 05-20-2008 09:33 PM

Nah, the project cars get the extra cash.

Once put a cheap ebay cone "cold air intake" filter directly on the throttle body of a suzuki sidekick...whole 3 cyclinders of fun!!

I modify pretty much everything. Here's my old Boston Whaler Rage jet boat. It had a Yamaha 650 engine and I found which power parts fit! It was rated at 50 hp stock and probably 75-80 after the mods! That boat ran so much better after modifying it.

Gotta mod the DD at least a little bit. Lightning = modded
GTP = modded a little
Next DD = keep it stock (well stock the way the previous owner sold it to me 472rwhp :mrgreen: )

bad64chevelle 05-20-2008 09:55 PM

I always stay im gonna leave my DD stock, but that NEVER happens.

ar0ck 05-20-2008 10:07 PM

Theres nothing to modify! The S10 is a good daily driver, and if I did anything it would be apperance wise, but I can't justify the money.

r0nin89 05-20-2008 10:12 PM

My DD is a friggin woods truck. So far from stock between 36in mud tires and a flatbed its rediculous.

Ian 05-20-2008 10:16 PM

my jeep has newer rims, dynomax cat back exhaust and a K&N filter in a modified air box.

unstable bob gable 05-20-2008 10:22 PM

I've done mods to my Cavvy that are supposed to increase mpg, but none of them f'n work...:-x

nj96z28 05-20-2008 10:59 PM

BigAls87Z28 05-20-2008 11:08 PM

madness410 05-20-2008 11:19 PM

maroman88 05-21-2008 01:10 AM

WildBillyT 05-21-2008 08:50 AM

Yep. GTP is my DD.

Untamed 05-21-2008 09:11 AM

I added the Coke stain mod, the donut sprinkle mod, the dusty dash cover mod and the too-many-CD's-in-the-door-pouch mod.

I just -can't- keep my cars stock.

foff667 05-21-2008 10:35 AM

Of course, what kind of world would this be if you DIDN'T modify your primary vehicle? Its great to have 5 cars to choose out of & only modify one, however I would always make that one the one I drive the most ;)
