The My Daily Driver scale rates vintage cars by the Stranded to Drive Ratio.

This is very simple; we rate our cars by how many times the old sled left us stranded versus how m any times we left the driveway. In addition, we allow a curve system for the age of our cars.

If all your drives end with a call to AAA or a friend for assistance,
you rate a "Spend more time under the hood."


If your car has left you stranded just when you needed it most,
you rate a "Should have fixed that a month ago, but I was too damn lazy."

If your car has never left you stranded since the purchase,
you rate a "My goodness, what a great car."

Our rating system also deducts points for blatant failures. Such as, you have a carload of friends that you constantly brag about your car's reliability to and it strands the whole bunch of you on your way to a party. Ouch, that's a My Daily Driver classic car rating system killer. Although this system is still in the beta phase, we are confident that it will become the industry standard for rating vintage cars. What do you think?
