What is your "daily driver" vehicle?

It's an 04 body on a 02 chassis with a 06 engine & driveline.
Was told Toyota didn't make a production Taco 4x4 manual with a crew cab, so I had this built.

Ah...a Franken Taco. Very interesting!

This definitely fits the "daily driver", as well as the "vehicle" part. It's also my main mean of transportation when I go to my GF's place. Thus earning it the title of "wingman", too.

Honestly jealous. I wish public transportation was built up enough around here to get me where I'm going. I also wish that everything here wasn't so spread out. I despise (sub)urban sprawl. I hate the fact that I have to own a car to get anywhere around here.

I know just what you mean with Lauderdale. I lived in Parkland, so everything was at least 20mins drive away. No alternative, drive. And when you're 12 and want to get to the model shop, 1/2 hour stuck in the back of the Chrysler just isn't gonna cut it.

I once took the bus into Lauderdale. Took nigh on 2 hours.
Now I can get on a bus, then a train and be in Zürich in less than 30mins.

I have a road bike, and I prefer the BMX now that I had to jump head-on on a distracted driver's hood. Twice. This year.

This, and the main roads are so poorly maintained, a European urban engineer once asked me if the road in front of my house was a car maker's suspension test.

Small to big:
Bauer blades
Specialized (I forget the model)
Schwinn Prelude
Trek Mountain track
MG B Roadster
VW Passat
Jeep Liberty
Dodge Durango

Durango gets 85% of the drive time due to kids and gear. Small block, full shields, posi, 4wd, 4wal, stock 31. It's a mean winter rig for on roading! Drove through the nastiest blizzards with no issues.

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

We have tried, don't get nearly enough torque out of it do anything. I mean you can still drive it, but where is the fun. Plus I don't know anyone here in Vegas that makes biofuel that isn't ridiculously far away... I do use though a diesel with 20% biofuel in it. Doesn't seem to take that much torque away, and gas mileage goes up a little bit, but it costs a little more.

Have a word with Ted Schumacher - he did a custom build for me with a 3.9 Rover block stroked to 5.0 with Buick headers. Very nice guy and knows his stuff.

I'll definitely check them out. They're probably over my budget, but sometimes a picture is a big help too.

Just saw Peter Caldwell has a variable valved lever shock on the market. I guess I had better start saving now. That additional HP needs to be controlled somehow. At least he is somewhat local to me.
