daily driver

What is your daily driver? Mine is usually an 84 or 98 Ranger and soon to be an 86 Mercury car. In the summer it is a 67 Fastback or 83 Mustang 5.0 Convertible or the 69 custom cab F100.

My 1997 F-150 2WD Ext. Cab is my good truck to go to the city or out on weekends. When driving to work the old faithful 1977 Mercury Marquis gets me there and back no problem. My wife drives the 1986 F-150 4x4 to her work and back. It's my mule when I need it too.

In the summer, 1977 F-150, 1979 F-100 trucks are what goes. The 77 is all restored so it doesn't go too often, but the 79 is in progress and if it was drove in the winter the salt would eat away what is left of her! Other than that it goes every day to work.

The 85 f150 explorer xl that I have been fixing the last year or so here. Has 300 I6 auto in it. Next year hope to finish the body work time permitted. Also have an 86 f150 351 auto ext cab 6ft short fleetside. Its a pig. Wifes is an 88 Baretta and it needs a lot of work and she does not want to get rid of it. I don't like it, hard to get in and out of and uncomfortable to drive. Maybe later she will change her mind. Specially with her back needing surgery.

I drive a 94 Honda del Sol, wife drives an 01 Accord. We try to carpool at least 2 or 3 days a week, as my Sol makes 45 mpg vs. the Accord at 28 mpg.

Unfortunately the 88 was sold to fund life after buying the del Sol last October. I miss my truck, but life happened and I needed an econo-car. Luckily I found one that is fun

Yep. Project truck that is still out on the farm. My Dad bought it new and we used it up until about 97 when the engine pretty much lost all oil pressure. Dunno when I'll get to it, but he won't sell it so it is mine to rebuild/restore. I'll be going home at Christmas time and will have to get some pics of it then.

I have a 51 IH pickup too
