What's your daily driver now.

Wife drives a 06 freestar 4.2L 25mpg or so and about 160,000 on it so far. I've changed the brakelight switch....original brakes even!

I drive the junk, 93 F-350 4 door with 8ft box. 7.3diesel with 656,000km's and counting on the original engine. Second tranny and it's not shifting right! LOL!
Oh, 25mpg at 120km's and about 28-30mpg when on back roads at 80kmph!
Empty or loaded doesn't really change the milage, only rpm.
Looks like absolute crap...but I love it.

My daily driver 2002 Nissan Frontier, 4cyl-5speed with over 250,000 on the clock. Done nothing but routine oil and filter changes and brake pads, still has original plugs & wires. 22-24 MPG.

Wife's driver is a 1999 GMC Suburban. 350 with 190,000 miles. I just bought this last Nov. for $3200. Nicely maintained with all new A/C components recently installed. It gets 16-18 MPG and can haul us and our 4 kids that are still home + 2 grandkids.

A project I'll get around to one day hopefully is a 1983 Malibu wagon 305 with unknown miles. I bought this car from Danny Waters, Sr. probably 4 years ago and one day I hope to do some type of partial restoration on it and have a street driver and occational bracket race car for when the mood strikes me. It is drivable and my oldest step daughter used it recently for about a month while her vehichle was being repaired.

My race car is towed with a 1988 UltraStar motorhome 454/Turbo 400. At 65,000 it has the fewest miles of everything I own. Gets 7 MPG towing the car on a open trailer.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham
