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. 
So, how 'bout you??

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  )

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.

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.

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
