What is your daily driver?

Picked up a new DD. Still drive the F250, but this is easier for the senior dog to get in and to park in the grocery store lol. Plus it was was cheaper than a set of 35" winter tires.

I love my MOPARs but AM NOT a MOPAR or no car guy.

Been a while since I’ve run across this thread. The wife is driving her new Durango R/T for nearly a year now, and I’m driving an ‘18 Jeep JK Rubicon Unlimited Recon with 6 speed manual that I picked up last summer. I’m using my 71 d100 flatbed to haul my quad around to plow snow and the odd dump run.
Travis..
 
Don't think I'll ever be able to afford something "less than 10 years old" again.... We just bought the 03 Durango this past veterans Day, I can buy 15-20 similar vehicles for the price of 1 new one. Nothing new interests me anyway. I wish they would bring out the tooling and remake early 70s A and B body 2 door models again, or 70s/80s D and W series trucks plus the b vans again exactly as they were when they were current production, maybe an xj series jeep, would be the only way I'd be interested in something new. I so much like driving my project 85 d150 vs my 12 1/2 ton.
 
Then we still have the 01 Durango, with it's 314k miles on it and 360 magnum (an engine they should still have in current day dodges along with the companion 318s I love the 318)... It'll be on the road again as soon as I get the money for the trans overhaul parts..... Hopefully in about 2 weeks

Why would you? Overpriced bloated 1/2 ton Pu that weigh #5500. A crossover that is 2 small tweaks away from the one in your neighbor's driveway made by a completely different company. Seriously do the designer's just share with all the other companies, disgusting. All just brown paper bags folded a little different. A $60k electric vehicle that will be worth 10k in 5 years, no thanks.
Your right, nothing interest me.
 
I recently picked up this low km 2015 Chrysler 200c. 3.6 AWD. So far I love this car, comfortable and powerful, lots of fun to drive.

Driving my '83 Dodge D150 Miser these daze. The /6 w A833 w overdrive and Lean Burn was designed for pretty optimal gas mileage in its day. Mind you all, the Lean Burn had burned out by the time I bought the truck 2 yrs ago, so I just installed an electronic ignition with the single pole distributor and vac advance, and it runs very clean so accoutred. We named the truck "Wilhelm" in honor the the undersung mechanical genius who designed the /6, B/RB and LA block engines.

I'm running 02 Dodge Intrepid as my DD, sometimes use 91 Lebaron with turbo and manual shifter.
My wife drives 06 Town&Country as family minivan.
Added Grand Cherokee WJ as another daily driver - really nice for snowy winter.
 
Lately I've been running a 1997 Geo Metro 4 cylinder, auto, a/c, p/b and stereo around town. No p/s, don't need it.
For those of you who don't remember it, it's your basic enclosed golf cart with a/c and air bags. But the 35-mpg on 87 regular is nice. Very simple car. Easy to diagnose and work on. The new set of tires? $135.
Probably run her till she blows.

I had an '89 Geo Metro two door hatchback with a 3 cylinder and a 5 speed. I swear I could get well over 50 mpg being very easy on the throttle. It was a pile I got for a case of beer. I definitely got my money out of it.
 
The is an old photo but I still have the truck. I bought it used in 2001 and shows 173k on the odometer. When I lived in Az it was my weekend toy and my daily.
I hardly drive it and am thinking of selling it. It sucks gas and hauls azz for what it is. Smiles per gallon.
5.9 V-8
53mm throttle body
Gibson shorty headers
Hemifever SCT tune
Billet bling
4:10 gears with Detroit true trac rear LSD
Trans(rebuilt) with shift kit, deep pan and aftermarket cooler.
Trans temp gauge.
Five-inch suspension lift
Sony CD head unit with power amp and 2-10 subwoofers

We had a few Ford fiestas of early 90's vintage. The stick ones got 50+, mom's auto got 42-45mpg
 
Daily driver since trading the hellcat charger for it in Feb. Hellcat AWD is fun...

Here's the $100 one with new set of $135 shoes. Complete with original factory time delayed custom fade clear coat patina. But the inside is very good. Go figure.
