daily drivers

Everyday transportation choices

A daily driver is a vehicle someone uses for routine, everyday transportation rather than special occasions.

The term distinguishes practical commuter cars from weekend toys, classic cars kept in garages, or performance vehicles saved for track days.

My sports car is fun but the Honda is my daily driver.

The phrase has expanded beyond automobiles to mean any tool or piece of equipment someone relies on regularly: This keyboard is my daily driver for work.
