I normally drive the oldest and most worn out vehicles around my place. Sometimes it is what she drove in the ground. Then I get a few more years out of them. Now I am driving a low mileage 1991 S10 4x4 v6 a friends elderly uncle left her that I bought from her.. I will drive it as long as it is going.

I alternate between two '69 Chargers, a black R/T, and a Cordovan 383.  Whichever one I'm not waiting on parts for.

I have always had multiple cars at the the same time, but there was always one I considered my go-to commuter/grocery getter. For fun, what were yours?

I have always been really thrifty when it comes to my daily. I think maybe because it justifies my expenses on hobby cars, which also serve as backup part-time drivers.
Here is my list.

1979-1984 Green 69 Charger, 318/auto.
1985 -1985 Orange 69 Roadrunner, 440/4 speed.
1986-1987 Blue & White 73 Chevy Luv, Buick V6/auto.
1988   -1988 Black and Silver 76 Power Wagon 360/auto.
1989   -1989 Brown 74 Charger, Slant 6/auto. $150 car.
1990-1993 Brown 76 Volare Wagon, 318/4 speed.
1994-1998 Blue 72 Charger, 318/auto.
1998-2002 Orange 71 D100 Shortbed, Slant 6/4 speed.
2003-2006 Red & Silver 89 D250 360/auto.
2007   -2007 Turquoise 71 Fury III, 360/auto.
2008   -2008 Silver 07 Ram 2500 4x4 CTD/6 speed manual.
2009   -2009 Tan 78 Chevy C20, 350/auto.
2010-2011 Green 05 Kawasaki KLR650.
2012-2018 Black 07 Susuki Vstrom DL1000.
2019+   White 05 Ram 1500, Hemi/auto. 

Just for fun, these were mine . . . I usually owned 1 car at a time, then 2 at a time when married, then several at a time after the divorce.
Here is just my daily-driver history . . .

1976.       1964 Oldsmobile F85 sedan, V6, auto shift.  Totaled.
1977.       1965 Dodge Dart sedan, Slant6, auto shift.  Totaled.
1978-81.  1970 Dodge Charger, 318cid, A904.  A rust-bucket that got me through college. Great car.
1981-85.  1973 Plymouth Valiant sedan, Slant6, auto shift.  Only 2,400 miles.
1984.       Married.
1985.       Wife hated color of Valiant. Sold it; big mistake.
1985.       1982 Plymouth Horizon TC3.  Lousy piece of junk.
1986-89.  1981 Dodge Omni 024.  Not so lousy, but still junk.
1989-97.  1981 Dodge D50 pickup truck. Great little truck.
1997.       Six children.
1998.       1983 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.
1999.       1993 Dodge Caravan. The wife's leftovers. Junk.
2000-05   1996 Buick Century station wagon.
2001-05   2001 Chevrolet Silverado.
2005.       Divorced.
2005-11   Retained 1996 Buick Century station wagon. Among the best domestic cars ever owned.
2005-17   Retained 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. Great truck, totaled by my daughter.
2011-16   2008 Honda Civic coupe. Loved it.
2016-18   2008 Honda Civic sedan. Totaled.
2018+     2014 Honda Civic sedan. Great car, runs for 9 cents a mile.
2019+     2013 Ram 1500 Express SL. Awesome towin' and haulin' vehicle.

Howdy T Cows,                   20 November 2021

We like your Troka, it has a practical look to it and would guess it's very dependable.

Most of our vehicles are in Phoenix, the only one remaining in Texas is our 09 Ram 1500 Hemi LQC PU which is the DD Here. In Phoenix we have 2 Stangs, 87 and 96, 08 F350 Crew Cab 4X Diesel, 00 CV Interceptor, 68 Hemi RR, 69 6-PK SB. The 96 Stang and the F350 are the daily drivers there, mostly the Stang.

Hopefully, everything will soon be in Phoenix.

Best Always
