What's your daily driver?

Daily Driver

Mine is a 1999 F150 Supercab XLT with 236,000 miles. 4.6 V8 that runs great. Just had the front end rebuilt about a year ago. My other is a 2005 F150 SuperCrew XLT with 161,000 miles. 5.4 V8 that sounds like a diesel (cam phaser noise) but runs great. Just did the brakes for the first time. Bought both of these used each with over 100,000 miles and they have been a real bargain. Every time I great to wanting a new pickup I just wash these and they look so good that the desire goes away....

Mine is a 1999 Nissan 4x4 extended cab Frontier. Bought it new in 99. Wouldn't take anything for it. It has been and is just a real good truck.
 
Mine is a 1999 Subaru Forester, 275K miles. I put on average of about 2500 miles a month. During the summer I put as many miles on the 05 Harley Ultra Classic as I can, I try to do about 18K a year on it.
 
my daily driver is a White 1996 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD pick-up with 167,000 miles. I am actually replacing it with a Red 1999 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 with 113,000 next week. The '99 is i better shape then my 96.

1999 Suburban-331,000 miles. Old Blue is going fine-need to put in a new front blower for the AC-that will count as this year's "car payment". Every time I get the envie for a new car and see the price I just sit back and pat Blue on the side and smile. I looked up the blue book on her a while back and with the mileage I think the trade in value would fluctuate 20-25% depending on how much gas was in the tank at the time :D But she runs good-hauls my boat and is paid for. Kinda like my wife ;)
 
Mine's a 2007 Miata. Just clicked over 86K. Got a 100 mile roundtrip everyday, most of it on secondary roads, so no need for it not to be fun! I do have a 2010 F-150 at the house for hauling the horse trailer and weekend dump runs.

Look up and to the left. ;) 1997 International 9400, 12.7L Detroit Diesel, 13 speed Eaton transmission, and 3.70 rear ends. All that and a bed in the back, too. :D She's got about a million and a half on her. At home I've got a 1992 Mercedes 300E that just turned 220k. If I'm going to drive a $2000 car, it's going to be a nice $2000 car.
 
Mainly a 2000 GMC 1 ton crew cab with a 454 big block....8 mi to the gallon whether it's loaded, empty, uphill, downhill or with the wind at my back. Won't complain though, it runs like a top. When the weather is nice it is my Harley Davidson Road King.

From the 3rd spring rain of the year until salt/salt solutions are first put on the highways I drive this:



the rest of the year I drive this



by the way in the last photo I am parked in front of the new Brownells building outside of Grinnell, Iowa.
 
Here's my daily driver serving double duty as a NASCAR parade car at PIR a few years back. It's an 89 Corvette with a little over 60,000 miles on it so it isn't driven far very any more and I just use it for local trips. Out of the picture and standing above and in front of me at that time were Sen. John McCain and Gov. Jan Brewer along with 40+ drivers awaiting their introduction and a parade lap around the track.
