DD is a Hummer H3 which has a 0-60 of about a week and a half. Makes the M all that much more fun when Sunday comes....

You may be right. There's a 40-Series around the corner from me. Timeless, as are all LCs. My issue with classics as DDs is the safety factor though.

Thanks man, its a E-420 sport that came with E-55 bumpers all around. I added an oem E-55 exhaust, bilsteins, high flow cats, afe filter, amg monoblocks, and a tune. She's an autobahn cruiser, so comfortable and reliable. The lift is awesome really helps with doing oil changes and other maintenance on the car.

picked up a DD

With kids school and activities I found myself driving almost 80+ miles a day. Not wanting to rack up the miles (and door dings!) on the M, I was "allowed" to purchase a DD and without hesitation I started looking for a Scion xB. I had one a few years ago and its perfect, good gas mileage, plenty of space for backpacks/sports gear, and its "cheap" to operate. Wanted one that had been modded already so i wouldn't have to spend too much to get it where I wanted, so all in all i am pretty damn happy.

Which gets better gas mileage, the H3 or the M3? Serious question.

Cool My DD is my Lexus 2002 IS 300

I purchased my Lexus IS 300 new in 2002 - it's what I drive now since the roads are still covered with lots of sand and crap from recent snowy weather here in Oregon. It has been a great little car, very reliable and always there for me. But - it's very much gutless and although it handles well, it's just kind of boring. However it allows me to keep my M3 parked nicely in the dry, clean and heated garage until we have better weather here in Oregon - which is usually late June or mid-July.

Cheers,
Merlin

This has been answered plenty of times and it's really a personal question too. It just depends on the situation. Personally, I drive a 97 4Runner beater and it's great for what I need
- Got 2 big dogs and shed and drool in the car. I always have rear seat down in the SUV and don't care about what they do to the interior
- My commute is only 15-20 mins, so I'm not missing all that much
- I can drive it anywhere, such as shopping center and never have to worry about it. Ever. My M is 5 years old but it's in excellent shape
- The 4Runner is damn near unstoppable in bad weather. No need for winter weather in SC, but it does snow too
- Stuuuuppppid cheap to maintain. New radiator by big brand company = $110 shipped. More money for M3 mods

So for me, I split between the 2. It's not like mine sits int he garage until the weekends only. And the nice part about having a beater is that you can take the car apart for maintenance and not have to worry about fixing everything in one go.

Having said that, I'd be looking to add something that slots in between the 2. Maybe E36 or E46 M3.
