just wondering, who here has a daily driver (not the mustang they drive in summer, like BS's
'Spooky', for example), and how old is it?

myself, i own a 1987 chevrolet Celebrity, 200,000 miles, and runs just fine (since i fixed it this morning). it has bad body roll, but it soaks bumps like a cadillac. cost me 350 bucks.

(and probably 200 bucks in repairs)

 

My dad just got a 95 BMW 318i, so he handed his other car down to me. I drive his 1994 Toyota Camry. Miles are somewhere around 270,000 right now. Running strong, but its always hungry for oil. Im glad I have this down at school, my mustang would take a beating driving to school.

 

I have my work vehicle which is like a 2001 E350. and a 2005 Nissan Altima SL.

 

my older daily driver (and my first car) was a 1999 mazda 626 V6. was a good car, but the transmission died in it. i loved that car.

 

I have my 1995 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 that's a daily driver, I've had it for like 2 years and got it at 80k. I have like 103k now and still running strong and all the **** I put it through.

I had a 1990 Geo Metro that was NEVER maintained and it ran perfectly fine, not sure how many miles are on it. I was being a dumb*** one day and just wrecked it.
I've had it for a few years and NEVER maintained it, nor did my Cousins who had it before me and than when my mother had it (well not completely sure about her).

I have a 2004 Dodge Durango Limited that I got roughly around 5 years ago with 24k miles and now has 55k miles. It's never been maintained and still runs great. It has been beaten to **** as well.

 

I've went through a few, 86 and 84 bronco II's (i really miss those). 96 lumina (I hate that car, its was just a pain in the ***)... now I have my younger brother's 00 explorer Eddie Bauer because he needed mileage to get to his college. In the summer it's all mustang though, unless i go to the dragstrip.

 

96 T100..mustang replaced by the bike.

 

09 Cobalt Sedan SS. Fast and economical.

 

 

This:


Gets me around while I do work.

 

The Mustang, kind of pointless to have another car.

 

99 Ford Ranger XLT x-cab. 195k and runs like great. Its ugly as sin but 4x4 and its a truck. I throw all kinds of **** in the back and go. I've beat this ****** up over 4 years and had no issues out of her.

 

I would completely agree if i lived farther south... my car couldn't make it up the hills in the winter... then again neither could the lumina i drove last year

 

99 mercury sable ls. 200hp is a lot of car for a 99 mid size sedan lol. got her at 110k and now has 155k.

and i guess you could say my 95 Suzuki katana 600 lol

 

All I have is my mustang right now..... Sold my old dd a while ago...

 

not in ohio. we have snow.

mustang =/= snow.

 

Meh, plenty of people drive their mustangs in the snow. The only thing I'd be worried about is the salt.

 

I always drove my mustang in the snow when i went to school in Michigan and lived in Chicago. Never had an issue and still my DD, obviously don't have any problems with it here in the south

 

What would the salt do?

 

holy ******* ****...are you serious??????????????

 

Actually I didn't know what it did until now. We RARELY have snow here.

 

I thought everyone knew that salt melted snow.

 

I drove my car in the snow 1 or 2 times and it was fun. However there were times it wasnt controllable coming off hills due to ABS not letting me brake and sliding sideways..

I did have HTR+ all seasons on, with HTR Z I's in the front.

As for my DD, I got a 98 s10 with 120k miles on it for 1300 bucks. 4 cylinder 5 speed in tip top shape mechanically, and it looks so so externally. It rapes my car in gas mileage because i cant seem to get more than 240 miles to a tank in my car. and my truck gets 200 miles to 20 dollars at 2.65a gallon.

The best thing about my truck is the headlights, OMG i cant see crap in my car. And I hate to get my car dirty, and I hate people bumping it in parking lots, and alot of people dont like me here so I dont want it keyed. and its not comfortable on the highway..

All in all I love my mustang if i dont drive it every day. I wish i didnt care for it.

 

He wasn't talking about that..

He mean't why people hate getting salt on their cars.

Its nasty and ugly. Strips wax. And it rusts the **** out of your frame if you don't keep it washed off. Its BAD stuff.

 

I know what Pcola meant.

Salt and rust...super common knowledge...salt melts snow,slightly less common knowledge... benefit of the doubt I guess.

 

My DD is my 86 F150, since im on the hunt for another Mustang.

 

It's cool that you used me for an example.

This is my DD:



P.S. The date on the picture is correct. I also think this is the first time 'Rooster' has made an appearance on these forums!
