As the title says, what cars do you have for the daily driving duties? I'm in the market for something I just dont know what!!! So I need a couple of ideas.

Thanks.

Focus- super cheap to repair/ keep up, decent looking, and 32-35mpg with 120k on it. Cant beat it, espcecially since they practically give them away on Craigslist.

00 Ford Ranger Ext Cab 4x4 love it so far only had it about a month. Kinda nice to be able to throw something into the back of it and not worrie about scratching anything up. Mine is the 4-door so it makes it alittle easier for people to get in and out of the back.

Dame, hate to hear stuff like that. There are a couple Fox Saleens on Ebay right now with higher mileage and the buy it now prices are 16k plus. Appears the word is getting out that Saleen and Ford are going to part ways. Jays coupe is going to be worth a fortune

No sweat on helping ya move, but perhaps Ray and his trailor would suite you best, although I will certainly help if you buy the beer

Wally bought the Escort and still has it. Just sold my coupe to Josh which has really done some magic with the paint. My house is finished so I have an open garage bay that needs to be filled. A good friend of mine just bought a Viper and its pretty wicked. I actually sold the coupe cause I was not driving it, so with the Saleen on the 1K a yr insurence, I could use another street toy, so I have really been watching the Vipers along the 7 western states. If I can find a low mileage in good shape for under 33K, I will buy it.

Soon to be the bronco II again...this time with a 5.0L conversion, 33's, 6" lift, etc. Eventually, I will probably get something more economical.

Not the best car for the snow! Mass winters suck.

Just so you can compare, an AWD Audi that couldnt go anywhere after only 45 min of snow fall during one of the winter storms last year.

I've been eyeballing some vipers as well. I was going to jump on a 99 ACR when the guy that was going to buy my vette decided to get a ZR-1 instead, so needless to say I lost that chance. You looking for an RT-10 or GTS?
