What else does everyone have or drive? Even if my car wasn't garaged and in progress, it wouldn't be my daily because I commute 36 miles a day round trip to work. With the upcoming 455, the winter, wannabe car thieves, etc, it just isn't practical for me.

My most used car actually belongs to my fiance. It's a 2001 Accord. Has a newer long block, trans, and completely rebuilt suspension (by me of course). Not a rice fan, but it's one hell of a reliable car with 136K on it.

My other car was the garage queen before the GP. It's a '94 Deville that I came across with 65K on it for $2500. I figured I needed to have one "grown man" car and this fit the bill. I just drive it on occasional weekends. I actually do have pics of this one. (shoot me if I ever start taking Honda pics btw). Some caddy pics from when I first bought it last year.

My daily driver is a stock 2008 Mustang GT. It is horrible in icy weather so sometimes I use my wife's new Chevy Traverse, which is amazing in the snow . . . I took it off-roading in the 30" of snow we got the other day and it exceeded my expectations . . . GM nailed it with those AWD crossovers IMO

Before the Mustang my driver was a 2003 Ford Lightning, very fun truck to drive.

My 1985 442 only sees clear dry days, and isn't driven to work, ever.

I assume you work for Kia? They've really taken a strong stake in the market within the past few years.

Off topic but I must ask, what do you think of that Jersey Shore show?

I have a '94 Buick Lesabre that has been hit on both ends, but it is about to fall apart so I have been looking frantically for a decent daily driver from the late A body or G body family. The only downside is that it is going to sit outside so I don't want anything too nice that I will have to worry a lot about it getting jacked.

It seems like there are $800 cars, and $2500 cars in the G-body family, nothing in between around here locally. I would like to find another one with buckets and console, overdrive, and v-8 and preferably not T-tops (again, because it will be sitting outside all the time).

I've noticed that about g-bodies too. Your either getting yourself into a money pit or you have to raise your budget a little. Once upon a time you could get decent bodies with crapped out V6's relatively cheap. I had to drive 100 miles to get my GP. Most of the stuff in the city is beat to hell and overpriced.

lol, embarrassing that other states associate NJ with it . . . that show is filmed about 10-15 minutes from where I live. Not really indicative of the true people who live around here, I guess.
