Default What year is your daily driver?

I've got a hypothesis about us C3 folk. I'm thinking that we probably have older daily drivers than other people. I may be wrong here, but let's find out.

If your vette IS your daily driver, don't enter the year, I already KNOW it's old :p: ok, ok...I'll make a category just for you guys.

If your year isn't there, add it.

My DD is a '97 Grand Prix with 140k miles on the clock.

I've got a 2001 Mitsu Montero Sport with 66K on the clock. With any luck, five years from now, I'll have a 2001 Mitsu Montero Sport with 200K on the clock. I love this truck and I'm looking to pay it off and drive it till she won't go no more.

:hurray:

1992 Ford Flairside 4x4 with 155K showing on the clock. Bought it new. Looks like it will be my work truck forever, none of the new trucks impress me enough to spend the entry fee.

For bad weather a 1981 F*RD Granada 2.8 Ghia ix. Same year as the Vette, it drinks more fuel than the Vette & chicks don't dig it. Nobody digs it.
For dry days a 1965 Triumph T100SS that I built as a runaround. Chicks seem to dig it, there's a few that keep waving & smiling (or are they pointing & laughing?).

I believe in drive them until they die, then rebiud them and repeat. I have a 88 Suburban (180,000miles), 99 Silverodo (replaced my 85 when the rust took her away), but my daily driver is a company car (03 Winstar) that I wondn't own if I had to pay for it. :lol:
