Unfortunately now, its a honda CR-V.  For many years it was my 1988 Dodge Daytona but it finally got too rusty so I sold it.  I would like my summer daily driver to be my Charger, but it failed inspection this year so I am fixing some things on it now so it can be once again.  I also have a 93 Firebird Formula which I used to drive daily (and NOS induced racer) in the summer but I am also having problems with that car as well.

Hats off go to this guy.  His daily driver is a Dodge Challenger. 

Our weather right now is 5-7 degrees Celsius.

I spotted this car parked on Pine York in Woodbridge, Ontario Canada.

I just had to take a picture.

The Mighty CHARGER K! lol fr the winter, and  my Power Ram in the summer! I was driving the Ram, but I got hit by a Ford doin 35mph, so I fixed it up and now I dont like to drive when it is crappy out. It has a fuel injected 318, 3.55 gears, power windows, power locks, tilt, cruise, LE interior pkg. sliding rear window, auto start, 4X4, and  a bunch of other crap I cant remember. I plan on putting a 3/4 ton suspension under it eventually

when it wa hit.

I currently drive a '06 Chevy Cobalt that I bought new earlier this year. I do plan on trading it now, once I hit 1 year or so, and get something with a stick in it. I can't complain about the car though, it gets 32-35mpg average, and I have caused more than a little smoke and rubber to be laid down from those front wheels on a time or two. I don't like automatics, thanks to a crappy A500 in a Dakota (I loved everything else about that old Dakota though) and a bad TH700R4 in a full size GMC. So next vehicle will be a stick shift vehicle, and it will be new. I also plan on working out a better pay plan, with fewer years off my life. It'll probably be another Cobalt, an '07 with their new long-arsed warranty and a slightly more powerful engine. DCX doesn't have a car I'd want for a daily.

It replaced a 1995 Camaro V6 that got 19-21mpg average, despite me driving it lighter than I do my Cobalt, and not having significantly more power. It had the 3.4l. I also had an 1988 Dodge Dakota, 3.9l V6 and unfortunately the A500 auto... Auto died twice before a drunk reshaped my truck's frame into a U and my back into a mess.

Currently I also have a 1969 Dodge half-ton truck. I plan on shoving a small Cummins I4 that can be found in commercial step vans in there. However, I'm saving my money because I need a parts hauler, and I'm getting married in the new year. I'm planning on another Dakota for a parts hauler... I'd like one with the 318, so long as it doesn't have an auto. the 3.9l V6 was fine by me as well. 

For every good man that is born, another good man must die.  Yet somehow the
factory keeps pumping out losers and we have no idea how to get rid of them.

I was daily driving my 2002 Lightning, and my wife Daily drove the 1997 Cobra. The cobra's engine took a dive one me from being raced. Now my wife drives the Lightning which should be real close to breaking the 12's in the next few weeks(runs low 13's at 40  ;D )00ft . I'm back to driving my 69 mach 1 daily, which I did for a year in college. Its slow as snot right now with the beat up 302 (original 351w sitting in pieces in the garage), but its still more fun to drive than most other junk.

I daily drive my 2000 Dakota R/T unless the weather is crap then I drive our 2000 Durango. The Durango gets decent mileage with the 4.7, much better than the 5.9 in the Dakota. But it's much more fun to drive the R/T, I like catching the ricers and make them look at my taillights. The R/T is totally worthless in wet weather unless you like to go sideways. Wife drives her 2001 quad cab Dodge 4x4 everyday. It now has 71000 miles and the tranny is starting to go but we bought the 100'000 mile warrenty. So it goes in shop this week for a rebuild. I would have a harde time driving anything other than a dodge. We currently have 10 at our house.

You and me both brother. When they finally release them it will be just like the PT loser. If you want one you will have to pay 10 to 15 over sticker just to get one. I have been in contact with them and they won't even take a deposit. I want one to match my 70 T/A but I think the price will be very high.

My dad insisted that I drive his truck in college so I gladly do.  It's a '86 F-150 XLT Lariat with 196,000 miles and still running strong.  I love the thing.  It's baby blue and dark blue 2tone paint with a light blue interior :icon_smile_dead: nut it has a CD player and gets me around.  Whenever I'm at home I drive my '70 Charger every day of the week  ;D

KOOL! I love them old pick ups!!!!

I bump around in a 1985 Toyota 4Runner. She is definitely the best of her kind for several reasons: 1 - 1985 4Runners were the only year that had the solid front axle (pre CV) and I added Warin (Jeep-style) locking hubs to give her some cajones. 2 - It was the first year for fuel injection on those beasts. 3 - She has the bullet-proof 22-RE motor. 4 - Her top can be removed for summer fun, and there's no complaints from her when I do. She has about 240k on her and she will not quit. I live in Colorado, and she makes up to the sticks like a scalded-ass baboon.  - dm

70 swinger.. or the 70 charger....Pretty soon the Big block dart...=) :yesnod:
Car's got a lot of pickup. It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
