I drive a 2010 Malibu LTZ.Wife Drives a 2008 Ford Fusion SL V-6. If I had it to do over again, I think I would have bought another Loaded Fusion.They are both nice cars, and I can't really put my finger on it, but that Ford just fits like an old worn pair of shoes

For the record,I work at a Ford dealership in the parts dept.

My brother has a Ford Fusion Hybrid and he gets all of those things as well. He loves his Fusion Hybrid and what he has had to say about it is one of the reasons my next car may well be a Fiesta or focus instead of another Civic.

I've had quite heated discussions at night when the lanes close on why ford/chev/dodge is best, but then notice their DD is a honda? Seriously?

The new motor in the comp car has the same number of cylinders as my Honda (four) and the same number of valves as the Honda (16)-it's a 2.9 litre (177 cubic inches but destroked to 170 cubic inches) out of a Colorado pick-up truck. We haven't yet run it all the way out, but it ran almost 50 under at No Problem, but I can't tell you where we shut off because the engine builder would kill me if I did.

My dd is a 2004 F350 diesel 4x4, gets about 19 empty on the road,
15 towing a car on open trailer, add cab over camper drops to 10-11.

I wish I still had both my 2000 Dakota 4.7 4x4 & 1969 Cuda 340-S.

What else would I have?

I'm jealous Ed (of your Eagle Wagon). I had one too, but it was preowned, and it showed after I had it for a few weeks or so. :(

As for now, my '04 Chevy Colorado is both my daily driver, and the hauler for the Cavalier to the races...it just completed a great job of getting me up to Wyoming (to get the car), back to Colorado (for some other stuff, and family visiting), and then southeast to San Antonio to race, before an hour ago getting me back home from there...nearly 3k miles for the whole trip...now that's some hauling...that is unless you're Dan Fletcher, or Mark Faul (et.al.)??? :)

This is my daily driver, built it 22 years ago.

Now I'm considering turning my Chevy II Wagon into my daily-driver.....

My daily driver is the same vehicle I tow my Nostalgia SS car with, a 2006 Dodge Durango 5.7 hemi...one of the best vehicles I've ever had. Drive it 40 miles one way to work each day, gets 22 mgh; pulls my car on an open trailer with a lot of power, comfort, gets 17mpg pulling the trailer, a great vehicle!! Now, I've downsized over the years, don't haul as many tools and junk like that, if I have to work on anything it goes home and I take a nap first. It doesn't even work up a sweat pulling the trailer.

My wife drives an 07 Pacifica, another great car.

2001 Ford F-150 XL, bare bones, I call her the white trash edition. power nothin, just has ac!

At the farm up north I prefer to DD my 64 Corvair Monza Spyder Turbo. Always gets stares at the grocery store when I load my bags in the front. Its really a fun little car to drive!

Any of you NY/NJ boys familiar with the dealer it came from? Tag says Circle Chevrolet Red Bank, NJ

Steve,
What, if anything have you done for suspension and hitch upgrades on that Durango. I bought an 08 for my wife and have been considering trying it out with our open trailer.

My daily driver is a 96 chevy 1500 extended cab. I don't know what it gets for mileage I've never checked because I know it's not good. My fun car is a 63 Plymouth Belvedere post car. 440 short block with max wedge heads and cross ram, with the push button. Fun but not practical.
