Ok stating on the mustang chick car thing, where I live very few guys drive mustangs and the ones that do you might want to question if they are a guy, I go to the race track quite often for 1/8 mile drags and have only seen 3 mustangs out there with guys driving them, now the most common car out there with a girl driving it is the mustang, there is about 4 stangs that are there regularly with girls driving them.

I dont know about yall but one car that gets looked over quite a bit is the gto's, my friend had one and that thing flew, if it was me and I had the money to get a second vehicle it would be one of the cars on my short list

Currently, my truck is our ONLY driver. The shop that I had do the work on my malibu, screwed it up, and now the motor is toast. 600 bucks to drive it three hours? I really don't think so..... Waiting on parts for the van so I can get that on the road..... not that I think it will get much better mileage than the truck..... (Astro AWD.)

My truck is the only vehicle I have. Both work and play. I don't travel to work much as I work from home. However when I do get a call I travel.

Mine is currently a DD, but I move a lot so last year it sat and I rode a bike to work. For now it is 35miles round trip. Mostly wifes vehicle on the weekend since it can take the kids. My boy LOVES the truck, and at 2 and a half has already said he wants it so here is hoping it has another 13 years left in it.

the truck use to be my DD, drove it about 40-60 miles per day....but due to my new job, which requires about 100 miles each shift, i use the maxima...which is killing my back...it sits to low for me....

Yup my truck is my only vehicle. DD and play. Little hard on gas, but I'll suck it up and pay just so I can drive it.

Mine is a DD although with a 30 mile roundtrip commute to work, I try to sub my Harley in whenever possible...40mpg compared to a whopping 11mpg will win out every time the sun shines..and although there's no feeling like on a bike, you can never replace the ride and satisfaction of a cruise in your 13 year old, paid off, dinged up Ram!!

The last 5 years she was daily driven. Slowed down in the last 2 years and a LOT in the last year since i have started modding her. She is at 107k now. Mostly drive in with my wife as she has a company car and they pay 100% gas. Work for the same company. Better than using our vehicles during weekdays.
