New daily driver
Got myself a DD to keep the miles off the camaro.....and to have something to drive in the winter
2000 Buick Regal GS
should definitely be a fun car, with a few mods I think I can get it into the mid to low 14's

my previous DD was the sister car, a Century. It was pretty beat, but not too bad. I basically stole it at $1000.
I can sell it for at least $3000. And I just sold my Firebird today.
To me it's a win-win...I make a small profit and get to have a badass winter car.
listening to that supercharger whine is AMAZING......this is my first forced induction car and it rocks!

I think the only mod I would do to an DD, would be tinted windows and maybe a audio system (nothing crazy though). Then at most, if it has a V8, a better exhaust. All my cars had tinted windows, keeps the inside cooler, use the AC less, saved on fuel.

Nice car! An intake (open cone/CAI/FWI) is a must-have mod for the increased blower whine, 180* t-stat, rotate the motor mount bushings for firmer shifts, and a 3.5" pulley should make a nice difference.

put a smaller pulley on in the winter and you will be looking for a new DD!

Good choice. Those cars ride really well and are dependable. Cops will think your are a old retired lady (or me) so you can smoke the weed and blast gangsta shit out the box.

Nice i got a gtp. You should get a pcm, plog, 3"dp' cai, 180t-stat and autolite 104's. With that setup you should run very low 14's to high 13's

Excellent financial responsibility modding a daily driver.
You'll be the coolest kid on the block with your 14 second Buick Regal.
