What is your "daily driver" vehicle?

1985 Nissan w/ 204K miles. 26 mpg, awesome for gear, paid $900 for it 4 years ago & I just can't kill it.

If this isn't the ultimate full-time musician's vehicle, I don't know what is. :hiding:

Oh yea baby, a whole 12 mpg, when I'm lucky. Ours is a 1999, and only has about 80k miles on it! Pretty good if you ask me. It's a beast though, four lane U-turn and can't park in the front anywhere. I love it though, probably the only reason why I'm a safe driver.
 
I never get tired of driving or posting this car. I looked for the panel wagon version of the HHR, but could never find one that was a five speed. When I found this one, the test drive included bringing it home and squeezing all my gear in. It's not the most powerful thing I've ever driven, especially loaded down, but I love going through the gearbox on mountain roads!

+1, I've got a 2007 HHR LS with the 2.2 liter and an auto (unfortunately with my carpal tunnel, my daily driver has to be an auto) but it's still relatively fun to drive and I can pack a ton in it.

I've got a 2000 Acura TL that has only 104,000 miles on it, had needed literally no unscheduled maintenance so far, and the only problem it's having right now is that a seam on the driver's seat is ripping and the leather should eventually be replaced. And even that problem has to be at least in part due to my fat middle-aged ass plopping down on it a few times a day. :p

It's been rock solid and I have no plans to replace it any time soon.

Aren't these diesel though? If it is, try running it on biofuel.
