2013 Audi S4 and 2008 Hummer H2 are my DD's. My wife takes the train which is a 2 block walk from our home so she rarely drives. This leaves me with all three vehicles basically at my disposal. The S4 is an absolute blast to drive, I have another set of wheels with Blizzaks for winter duty and it's a tank in the snow. Having a truck is nice if you actually tow/haul things, if you never find yourself doing that then I don't see why the Mustang would be a bad choice.

Here is all three of them in the driveway after a bath.

Any Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 drivers out there? I am looking at one as a DD. The 2014 SRT in all black to match my 427. My 2005 Suburban has 105K on it and I love it but would rather keep it as a third in case I need it.

...like a breath of fresh air compared to big, heavy luxury/sport cars, this thing is without a doubt, one of the most fun cars I've ever driven.

Mustang should give you better gas mileage than the truck but do you need a truck to haul toys too? We love our truck for pulling our travel trailer or our jet skis. That being said, my dd is my red 2003 350z..great gas mileage 29 to 30 mpg..162,000 miles and still running great!!

A 2008 6.1 Hemi Dodge Challenger SRT8. Year round in Chicago, worst winter in 30 years just ended, and with blizzak snow tires I never got stuck and she did better than you would think.

I decided over 3 years ago I always wanted to be in a real sweet everyday driver b/c life is just too short and it helps me deal with the crappy winters in the Midwest.
