Burn 14 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 MY DD is a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer. It has 126k miles and I bought it new off the showroom floor. I plan to drive it until the wheels fall off...or the motor blows.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidthing 10 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Daily driver in crappy weather, 95 Bronco. Hopefully Saturday I'll trade it in on a 98 Super Duty 4x4 with a power stroke. On nice days, a 65 fastback until the 69 is done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinMan 77 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 I'm in love with my daily driver... There's no way I can drop 30k on a car (principle)... so I found this 06 GT two years ago with just 24k on the clock... It's reminded me why I love Mustangs... Compared to the Mach or any of the 10+ Mustangs my Pop and I have owned, this basically stock GT is very impressive for both handling and frying tires :) With a family, we've been rocking SUVs and wagons and the like. That got mud in my blood.. Currently have a stock TJ (toy that wife likes) and a "slightly" modified XJ... Not sure what's worse... Mud or Speed... It's for trail riding... on it's basically third build... sitting on full width 1 ton axles and 37's at the moment.. Wife drives an Exploder... son's got my old Crown Vic (got in the low 15's :) ).. and other son has a Ranger.. Always enjoy these threads... Folks got some awesome iron (the Lightening rocks!)..

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Oh, I forgot about "old reliable" so I snapped some pics today! I would have been in trouble today without this one! It's an '85 F150 with a port injected 5.0 and auto., built in Canada for export to US... so it has the 86 fuel injection. For years I couldnt buy sensors and crap for it unless I said it was an 86. Now that most of the pollution crap has been bypassed, disconnected or just plain doesnt work, and it doesnt matter the books/computers have been updated. I have owned it since right out of college in 1991. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

driventofreedom 10 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 I wish I could say my rides are special but they are just practical. My dd is a 02 Mitsubishi lancer 2.0 liter manual trans. 110,000 miles with no problems ever. Best vehicle I've ever had. My wife has a 97 explorer 4wd with a 4.0 liter sohc. If I ever meet the guy that designed that motor I'm gonna give him a swift kick in the junk. My weekend ride is a 78 camaro with 350 and 4 speed manual. Kinda fun but not my style. My father-in-law became disabled so he gave it to me to drive it and sell it for him. Then my workhorse, 79 chevy Scottsdale 4wd pickup with a 350 and auto tranny. another gift from my in-laws. This one was parked for 10+ years with a cracked block. Its good now but I've got some transfer case troubles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidthing 10 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 Am I the only one being forced to get a more affordable daily driver because of gas prices? I've only had my super duty a couple of months, but $200 a week is killing me. I've had to pull a 65 coupe with a 200 from next to the barn into the garage to work on. The 69 is going to have to wait a little longer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkBuddha 107 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 I don't know if I mentioned it, but I'm driving a '02 Impala daily... it sucks and mileage is crap (17-18mpg in town), but it's safe and has killer a/c. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I am a 2007 Chevy Silverado 4.8L and a 2005 Chevy Cavalier. Yes Chevy's. My grandma worked for GM so I get a GMS discount. Plus GMs have great drive trains.

DarkBuddha 107 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 I suppose I compare it to when we had an '03 Corolla S. That thing pulled high 20s in town and 36+ on the highway (we saw a 41mpg average on one long roadtrip). And it wasn't significantly slower than the Impala, and it handled a ton better. We traded it in on our '07 Honda Odyssey minivan (which is a good van, but ugghhh!). But I can't really complain too much about the Impala... it was a free hand me down.

The 69 is going to have to wait a little longer. Nope, you're not alone. I've about made up my mind this week to finally buy a Mini Cooper. It seems to be about the only car in it's class that gets high mpg's and is still sporty and doesn't require the insertion of a tampon to drive. I currently have a 2000 Dakota and a 2004 Grand Cherokee Limited, both with 125K on them and getting about 16-17 mpg. I'm buring thru at least 50+ gallons a week just back and forth to work and with prices continuing to rise I think I'll at least break even or make some back taking on car payments again.
