Default Daily Drrivers???

Since my 96 has been gone I have been thinking of buying another non-pi(of course) and building her up. Meanwhile I am looking at some daily drivers. What Daily Drivers or 2nd cars do you guys have? I am really leaning toward a 91 mr2 than my bro-in-law is going to sell.

My daily driver is a 96 2 door escort lx. It gets the job done plus it get great gas mileage......You can beat the ever living **** out of these escorts and they don't seem to hesitate.

Our 2nd car, and my wife's primary car, is a 1989 Toyota Camry. Looks like crap, but only has 110k on it and gets mid 20s for gas mileage with mostly city driving. Decent in the snow too, which is a huge improvement over my Mustang. We'll eventually replace it with a Focus or perhaps an Escape.

1997 stang GT vert = my DD. And unfortunately it will probably be my winter driver as well provided there's not much salt on the roads or snow.

I have a SC'd 2000 Mustang GT as my DD. If it's in the shop for more mods I ride a Kawasaki Concours as backup, unless it's snowing of course.

My Daily Driver = Golf Cart, Rechargeable battery powered. 8 hours worth of charging gives me a full days worth of driving back and forth from my Company to the motor pool, to the PX, Shopette, and even Walmart. The cops just give me crap for driving on public roads with it so I stick to the sidewalks.

Why would you want a non-pi Mustang? I bought a '99 not knowing anything about the different mustangs but have learned a bit the last 2 months. There is a mach 1 in town, red/black. 300 or 310HP. Mt "99 will never see 310HP with the usual nolt on mods. Then, well I couldn't afford one, the '03/'04 Cobra's have 390HP! I have even seen some '96 Cobra's with SC's added for sale for 14K. I did want an automatic and convertible which I got but it's tough to mkae some good power from the usual add ons. OH! I have a '90 Ford Festiva for a second car. Ford nameplate on a car made in Korea with a Mazda drivetrain! 30-33MPG makes it nice though but I've been lucky(or unlucky) as we have not had a lot of rainy days where I had to drive the Festiva, all 1850lbs. of it!

My other daily type car is a 93 Explorer, which recieves all foul weather duties, and about 60% of the miles.
