what's your daily driver??

[XS29L]

2006 Ram 2500 5.7 hemi with 4.10 gears.

[dyslexic teddybear]

94 2500 Cummins

Just a simple regular cab 2wd auto.....that hauls anything I need.

Loaded or empty, it gives me 22.5 MPG when I'm careful, 22.0 when I get on it.

Not much motivation to drive it careful.

of course i put more miles on this each day than i do the Ranger in a month, but i guess we were only talking about "daily driver TO work"

1999 Dakota SLT 4x4 5.2ltr/318ci Auto, 32"x11.5"x16 snow tires, 1.7:1 Harlan Sharp Rollers, 3" cat-back Flowmaster, AEM TB Swirl Spacer AEM 4" air tube & air box w/Gauze cone filter, lots of bolt on performance stuff & Hypertech tuner, really woke it up... I have more stuff but only have 53k miles on it waiting to put the better slotted & drilled rotors/brakes & shorty chrome Edelbrock headers & Bilstein shocks on when I have to finally do the brakes...

A few years ago I could have posted "My DD has 1600torque" cuz I parked it at home.

maybe i should find a schwinn racer from the 70's, i'm only 5 miles from work..........

[Baldwinvette77]

My workplace is honestly a 1/4 mile down the road from my house, so i just walk, but maybe when i get my charger finished....

hmmm....a 1/4 mile? Interesting coincidence.....could be a quick commute

[mauve66]

at least a test and tune everyday

at least a test and tune everyday

That's what I was thinking

[Baldwinvette77]

I work at an auto garage, and we have a dyno set up, And mercifully theres a gas station there aswell 

[dyslexic teddybear]

Nothing like real world testing.

Besides, what fun is it to drive a dyno?

[Baldwinvette77]

i like beating the snot out of computers

[Baldwinvette77]

710whp CTS-V wagon - craziest street car I've ever owned. Runs mid-10' in the quarter on drag radials and has been 186mph at the Texas Mile. All in a 4700lb wrapper.

Brandon, that's a bad ass ride.

May I ask how much room you have from the rear of the back seat to the hatch?  Curious if my wheelchair will fit back there.  The rake at the rear looks more severe than my Magnum.

Then again, since I was re-paralyzed the chances of walking again may have done me in this time & utilizing the wagon's purpose won't be there?

[bzabodyn]

There's actually quite a bit of floor space, the issue is the roof height - I have a hard time fitting taller items in the back. But for everyday usability it's great and with the rear seats folded flat, there's a ton of room.

It is my favorite daily driver I've ever owned and that's saying a lot because I've had 2 M5s and a load of other great cars.

if your grocery getter is a 700 hp caddy, i'd love to see your "performance" car 

[472 R/T SE]

My seatback folds down.  Yeah, with the seat folded down it would work but the whole reasoning for me owning a wagon is my daughter can sit back there & my wife in the pass. seat.  

Other rigs I would take the chair apart & store it on the pass. seat putting my wife in back.

If you could, would you please take a quick measurement?
