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.
