Damn, thought there would a bunch of posts. Funny, I work 3 days a week in Dallas and drive down in this beat up car which really is a good car. It maybe be ugly but it has cold air doesn't have any problems. It can go 0 to 60 in about 6 minutes. I think people feel sorry for me or think I don't have any insurance they let me into traffic when traffic is bad. If Markadeck uses his car as daily use he must be the winner. I'm not to proud to save a little $$$ so i can mod the mule.

Here is my humble offerings!
I guess it could be considered a commuter since i drive it all day towing my lawncare trailer, haha. Good ol GM 6.5L turbo diesel. With the truck empty it gets really good mpgs. i dont know how good cause the speedo doesnt work but its pretty good, lol.
That picture was taken the day after I painted the cab. I never painted before and canit wait to repiant it so its nice and shiney. painting black isnt easy!

Need one - hell yeah - but I don't make those kinds of decisions. I'll keep my ear to the ground.

I don't see how you figure that. Mine gets better mpg, is nearly a sports car, is a lot of fun, the women love it, and it's damn sure uglier! The radio works and I just jerry rigged the horn, so it works too. Now I can toot at the ladies as they stare at me cruising the city streets with the top down. That does mean they love it, does it not???
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Nobody tell him the truth, let the old man have his fun.
