Is your 5.0 your daily driver or do you have another car for a daily driver? If so, what is it?

I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra that I bought new last year for my daily driver. Its the most dependable and trouble free car Ive ever had. 25k and it hasnt been to the dealer once since I bought it.

The Mustang is going to be my cruising and track car. I might drive it to work every now and then but thats about it. I havent registered it yet because I just bought it yesterday.

My stang isnt my daily, doesnt even have insurance right now, its sitting in the garage but its getting alot of work done on it.

My daily is a 1998 mercury mystique, ive had it around a year and its been trouble free. My only complaint is I think the front struts are going bad, but it is getting up there in milage.

A rusty '86 chevy silverado does the daily ride thing come winter, or when I know I'm going to get filthy at work. Otherwise the '89 GT handles my daily commute.

I split daily driving between a 79 cj7 jeep and my mustang. I take the mustang on prettier days or longer trips since the jeep sucks gas.

I drove my 5.0 every day for 15 years. Now it's getting a much needed rest and I now drive an '04 Stang. Too bad it's a V6 tho. I drive the 5.0 every now and then. Needs alot of work. Runs great tho. :SNSign:
