I absolutely love my 2004 GTO DD. It's fast, comfortable, the AC works when needed, it's simple no fancy crap to breakdown. And I can still blow away most things on the road. Got my XM direct that I can also play my iTunes thru. Its got everything I need.

My best daily driver was a 77 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham. Drove it for 20 years. Never had the transmission open. Never touched the carburetor. Other than normal maintenance items, the only part on the engine that was replaced was the water pump.
Sold it when I retired, It had 250,000 miles on it. The A/C had never been charged and still worked great

Still have the original untouched lower end in my engine (Olds 350/4V) Had to replace some gaskets over the years but all the mechanicals are still intact. Run Marvel mystery oil in it. Had Transmission rebuilt once and a Trans go kit installed. Installed new bearing in rear end once, but original gears are still in there. Has 483,000 on it and still doesn't smoke, and has enough power to still break the tires loose for a little bit. Not an isolated event either. My brother had a car just like this some years ago and had about 275,000 on it when he sold it, and it still ran well.(Same engine- Olds 350).

MY last true great OLD dd was a 71 GT37 350 bench 4 speed...some black dude put an endura clip on it before i got it..it was soooo ruff...but it got 25 mpg, and i never had to work on it the whole time i had it..never..nothing....it was voodoo green( i think, cant remember was about 97) with a white interior...hate to say, i wish i had it back...it was ubelievibly peppy...i would torture it and race anything that blipped its throttle at me...

never failer to start..had 250,xxx (we guessed, it may have been 450 who knows) miles on it when i sold it and still had the original motor and trans as well as the 3.23 one legger..would puff jsut a little bit of smoke on start up and thats it..was a great car...

ID:	260897 My '74 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Is very reliable (close to 500,000 miles). Has options to make it more comfortable -AC, power windows, tilt wheel, remote trunk, buckets, console, 4 spoke sport steering wheel. 350/th350/3.08 limited slip. Use it to tow a trailer I use for hauling things I would need a truck for. Rides better than any new car. Simple to maintain. Used my '66 Tempest Custom wagon for a daily driver until 1987 when I bought this from my Aunt (the original owner). Now drive the wagon on weekends. Restored the wagon in 1988, and beefed up the performance, don't like parking that one at work and having to worry about it. The Olds is nice enough to be a good driver, but not too nice that I worry about parking lot dings and other careless people.
