What's your daily driver?

[David LaPell]

So what do you drive to work everyday? I have this 01 Cherokee that has had its ups and downs but it gets decent mileage and its all I can afford at the moment. It has 170,000 miles, a 2 inch lift, a Cherry bomb extreme muffler and a Cobra 19 CB. I more or less use it as a pick up as the back seat spends most of the time folded down. To date it has hauled five deer from the woods to the butcher and with the back seat up my son in his car seat. It does get attention, especially during the summer when the folks from NYC and Jersey drive north.

By the way, that's part of my yard and the thing to the right of the jeep is my shooting bench (converted dresser).

I drive a 94 Cherokee, 217,000 miles to date, I can't tear it up! I'm much like you, my back seat is usually down for more space as I mainley use it for my work vehicle.

I drive a 2005 Chevy Impala, but I'm giving it to my oldest son in a few months. It's in mint condition with about 70,000 miles. Should be a good car for him to take to college. I offered to get him something sportier, but he likes the Impala. It's got the spoiler, etc., so it really looks pretty nice. I bought it new, so my son knows that it's been taken care of. The Impala replaces the 1985 El Camino that he's had for the past few years. I'm not sure what we're gonna do with it.

I bought a new, base model 2012 Mazda 6 to replace the Impala. I only spent $17,800 with new alloy wheels. It's a 6 speed manual. It's one of the last Mazdas to be made in Michigan from what I understand.

My toy is my 2010 Dodge Challenger. It's a garage queen.

I always wanted one of those Cherokees. I like your setup. A guy a couple houses down had one. I was priming him for buying the thing. He got drunk one night and invited a couple sweeties from Gary home with him and they stole it.

I urn for the days when I got the urge for a new vehicle, I'd buy an electric spray gun and put a different color Rustolium primer on my then current truck.

Oh yeah, what is this "work" you speak of?

 

[squidsix]

1997 Ram. 236,000 miles.
In the summer it's a 1987 VW Jetta GLI. 278,000 miles. Both are in perfect working order. (the Jetta won best non-restored original at Waterfest last year. I take really nice care of my stuff)

'96 Chevy S-10 with a 5.7 Vortec , 600 Holley, Edelbrock Performer intake, mild cam, conversion headers into two Flowmaster 40's running 3.73 gears. Trans is a Turbo 350 with a B&M Stage II shift kit and B&M 3000 stall converter.
Thing is quick as heck but I don't take it on the freeway much because of the gears and no over drive I have to tach it at around 3K rpm to do 70mph which I don't like to do for long. Can't wait to get a limited slip put in the rear end so it'll hook better, one wheel peel has got to go.

2010 Ford Fusion and 2003 Dodge Ram.

Both really nice vehicles...

 

[bricker]

2010 Chevy Express. Ladder racks with a 24', 12' and 8' ladders on top. It isn't mine, but I drive it every day!

 

[Forester]

2006 Toyota Tacoma 4WD. 105K miles. Just did front breaks, battery and plugs. Been a great truck.

 

[revho]

1992 Chevy Full size Blazer. 239,XXX miles on it. transmission completely rebuilt at 202,XXX, (lost 2/4 bands). Michigan truck all it's life, so very rusty.

[ckprax]

1997 Camaro SS, we've had our up and downs but I will keep it forever (like a good woman).

 

[Qball]

unfortunatly it's not in prestine shape
but it run's.

My daily beater is a 2003 Silverado SS. I bought it new in 03 has under 60K, but drove a dept issue car until retirement 08.

 

[Marshwheeling]

1998 Chevy Astro van, 198k. I bought it to haul dirt bikes, and it does a lot of trailer pulling. There's a middle-aged BMW sedan out there with 275k miles, but I haven't driven it in a long time. It'd make a fun project for some kid, if kids did that stuff any more. When the weather is decent, I commute by motorbike.

 

[GKC]

2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4x4...the odometer just went over 100K. It's in really great shape, doesn't get the best mileage (avg 15 mpg) but very comfortable, and it has one option I can't find on any new model: it's paid for.

I also have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee with 40K miles, and it is in like new condition. It was my mother's car, but I don't drive it...I keep it for a spare.

My daily driver is a 2005 Chrysler 300C

When it snows in KC or just for fun, I've got my project a 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
