I read over the threads and get the idea that most people have like 2-3 cars and the stang is just a weekend cruiser. How many of you guys actually take the car out everyday to work, school, etc. Im unfortunate enough to barely afford one car, so she goes everywhere i go
its winter--im cruisin in the girlfriend's sunfire with a million beads hangin from the rearview mirror and kiss lip things on the windows and side mirrors. im so cool
i drive my 88 every day(when its running) and its a carb converted, stripped interior, caged, stiff suspension+slammed, loud as hell, no a/c, 12-15mpg and basically considered by most as not a street car, and i proudly drive it every day and call it a street car. its all i can afford as well, but i am fortunate enough to have a dad who recently got a "spare" 89 honda he lets me drive when its down.
I daily drive the coupe 90 with i think around 197k maybe more on it... I have a real bad tranny leak and my exhaust hangs really low... But i still daily drive! IMO Daily driving a fox is badass!
Canadian DD here! had 2 cars until about 1 yr ago. been the first time she's seen snow! only 130k km still. gets pretty wild in 10" of the fresh stuff, but its not an option anymore! i hoped all winter i'd get in a mild fender bender (not caused by me!) and get some new paint and hood etc for cheap, but no luck!
me (93 GT)and my girlfriend (93 Coupe) both drive ours DD, because that what we can afford, even though it would probly be better if i were to buy a DD and save on gas
I do not drive my current GT because of the salt and snow, but when I was in high school and college I was forced to drive my 90 LX notch everywhere i went. I had a badass set of studded snow tires and i filled the trunk with about 300lbs of sand bags. LOL
I miss that car...
I have found that it is way more fun when you only drive your car a few times a week, you really appreciate the sounds and power.....on the other hand I love hopping in my truck and going up in the woods camping, plus it quiet and i can think while i drive.
Untill recently, mine was a DD. It had 16,000 on it when I got it in 2005. I put close to 20k in the 1st year and a half. I have been fortunate enough to wheel and deal on some vehicles to get my 96 Explorer with 130k for basically free, well come out spenging a couple hundred. Just bought some then sold them for more money untill I arranged this one. So now I have the benifit of driving on sunny days and keeping the Stang in the garage when it nasty out.
mine will be when the weather is nicer and i can get outside, to finish the bay, and put her back together.. but no snow.. looks like nicer weather towards the end of the week...
I've daily driven mine since i bought it from my grandpa when i turned 16...
someday after college id like to garage it and be like one of these guys on here...someday
