That is almost how I describe it - I call mine "4 harleys". In fact that could be a good license plate. The reference is about the sound the engine makes - it's 4 HD V-Twins.
The motorcycle reference is a pretty good comparison - you drive both under somewhat similar conditions and circumstances. Few people will knowingly take either into a rainstorm.

My daily driver is a 1999 Acura 3.2TL with 216,000 miles on it. It's been a great car.

A big Chinese bus on account I gotta pick up some of the employees on my way to work. When in Sun City West its a Dodge Durango bought new in 2000, got 10,000 miles on it, go figure, I get to drive it twice a year for two weeks at a time.

Finally retired the Acura after 225K miles. Drove great on a recent trip down to LA from NorCal, but it needed a bunch of work and the ROI just wasn't there.
A fellow Cobra owner had bought a BMW 335d (diesel), so I decided to look at it. I ended up buying a CPO 2011 335d with 15K miles on it. Crazy fast (265 hp and 425 ft. lbs. torque), stops on a dime, and gets great mileage on the hwy. More torque than a Challenger SRT 8.

my daily is a VW touareg diesel. it's not very sporty, but it pulls like a freight train.
My buddy has a M6 convertible that he uses as a DD. fast, handles awesome, and sounds great. They can be found used for somewhat a "reasonable" price.

I have Two Jeep Wranglers and a 2500HD Diesel, but my Wrangler Sport usually is the vehicle I use daily. I bought the Jeep Rubicon to use as a daily driver, but after dumping a bunch of money into it I would rather use it more on the trail than as a daily driver. We have a TDI VW that we use on trips, but I am more of a truck / Jeep guy. I have not had a car as a daily driver in years.  |

I'm ready to go back to a truck 4X4 myself. I posted my Jeep SRT8 on craigslist, once it sells I'm shopping for a supercab F150. Or perhaps a Silverado SS.
