What's your daily driver?

[MrSony]

Right now the daily is my Wagon, because it's winter. I also use it the rest of the year as the beater, and take the kids to baseball and football practices where they can get in with their muddy cleats, and our Golden Retriever rides in the back. The roof rack gets a workout on runs to Lowes. My daily from April through November is my 78 Olds Delta 88 of which I'm the third owner. I bought it as-is minus the wheels and tires about five years ago with 66,000 miles. Now has 99,000. 350/350 trans and still blows cold with R12 in the AC system.

Two favorites in this thread so far lol

My only car right now is my '85 Regal. Bought it in 2014 for $1400 bucks. Currently on it's 3rd engine, 2nd Buick 350, blah blah blah. You all know already. lol.

Currently has about 90,300 miles on it, had 84,*** when I got it. Picture is from January of 2017, this was my Senior Picture in highschool.

My other daily I had for a few months two years ago was a 1970 Ford Thunderbird I bought for 300 dollars. 11:1 429, MSD ignition, Foot Shaped Gas Pedal, 235/75/15 truck tires all around. Was a decent car. Never left me stranded. Front end fell off once. I rebuilt it, rode like a cloud. Bent a pushrod doing burnouts and realized I was in way over my head at the time. No space, lost my job, no time to rebuild a 429 into a car that could fall apart at any minute.

I do miss it. Everyone loved it. Everyone thought it was the most badass thing ever. And it was. RIP.

If you want the next size up my buddy is getting ready to sell one of his toys. Not sure of the price but I think its an 84.

Any idea what he's going to ask for it? I'd love to pimp that shizzle!

I don't know how people with white Accords or Camry's ever find their cars.

We actually don't, it's kinda like "musical cars". We just find one that's close enough and get in and go. By pure coincidence, I've actually gotten the car I own back twice since I started driving it three years ago

My current DD actually belongs to my daughter but she's in school right now and the stupid little car gets 40mpg and just won't die.

I'll need to come up with something cheap to drive for work before school gets out. Thinking Matrix or xD.

My youngest Daughter is driving a 1996 Toyota Tercel, also red and 367,000 km on it I believe. Same thing 40 mpg and won't die.

This will be my youngest daughter's daily driver this summer and I will try for 30 mpg. I am adding the column shift handle and Accel Supercoil this week. It will get new 225/70R14 BFG Radial T/A's on the back, the current 235 TA's have to be 8 or 9 years old. The front 205's were put on last year.

I had a similar b- body, a 2 door caprice and that was the best driving "older" car i had. I put on a impala ss rear/sway bar and new control arms and rode like a dream. I'm being patient for the right holiday coupe to come by my way to do the same upgrades to.

Here's my daily driver for winter. 94 full-size Blazer. Same as tahoe/yukon just 2 doors. Runs like a champ, just wish it had barn doors.

I do like that body style, they really are one of GM's best designed trucks except the 4L60E and aluminum front diff.

My daily driver is a 5ish year old base Mustang GT with a six speed manual. Love that car -- offers an awesome driving experience. I currently have my snow tires installed and use as my DD the entire year (currently entering my fourth winter as my DD).
