Well, Nicholas Cage is a car guy! He's bought some nice cars at the last few
auctions that Dave's been at. (Though after the day I've had today, I can't
remember anymore exactly what! But it seems to me there was a British car or
two.)
As for the question-I think a daily driver is a car that is driven
daily-primary transportation. (Though even if it is primary transportation,
the person might also own another car.) The car that gets the most miles put on
it every year.

>> Hi all!

>> I just found a great short article in today's People magazine (June 26,

>>
>> Spitfire and Desire
>>
>> Oscar-winning actor Nicholas Cage, who starts in the auto-theft flick
>> Gone in 60 Seconds, says that his first car stole his heart.
>>
>> "I had a Triumph Spitfire," says Cage, 36. "It was a beautiful little
>> roadster in a faded yellow. But it also needed a lot of work. I
>> couldn't get it registered, so I would sit in my car in the garage and
>> pretend I was driving to the beach with the sun in my face. But the
>> only light was this tiny bulb overhead," Although he finally got the
>> car registered, Cage eventually gave up his wheels. "I found out this
>> car was going to break down every single week," he says. But
>> persistence triumphed in the end. "I found that car again a year ago
>> and I bought it," he says. "I wanted it to know that it didn't get the
>> best of me."
>>
>>
>> Just thought I'd share!
>>
>> Keep Triumphing,
>> Susan :)
>> (At my home address until I get my new work address the first week of
