My daily driver for the last 6 years is 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra. Metallic silver with a 6spd manual transmission. It has a few modifications including a twin screw supercharger. The car makes 700 HP and gets 23 MPG. Drive it everyday that there isn't snow on the ground(which even sometimes that doesn't stop me). I bought it used at a GM dealership that the gentlemen traded it in on a Corvette. It had 1,900 miles on it completely stock except for a tuner. He originally purchased the car new from Anderson Ford. I turned 57,100 on it today. We also drive the wheels of the 07 Ford 500(wifes Daily Driver). We drive it when the family is wanting to go somewhere or we just want a nice relaxing drive. Bought it new from Ray Skillman clicked over 100,000 miles this last weekend. Yes we are an all Ford family :)

Daily drivers / race cars

The 300 took 3 gold cards in a row with me driving. This year I gave it to my son and he drove it to 2nd place in pts his first year racing. over 100,000 miles on the clock

The challenger was my new daily driver this year. I think its made it home from the track one time this year without breaking something. :(
less then 10,000 miles on the clock

2005 Toyota Camry with 310K.
Nice big scratch down the length of the drivers side from being to close to an open mailbox door, and a pushed in front bumper( can't say dented because its rubber) from an "incident".
You'll understand if I don't post any photos.

I'm hoping to have an XFI transaxle in it (3.79 final drive vs. 4.29) by the spring Fla. races and will be looking for 60.

Did you fix the passenger door perfesser? :p

Ken - Glad to see you got a new ride as I thought you'd be driving that Volvo till we buried your remains .That said I certainly hope you didn't spend my Christmas bonus money on your new vehicle as I am really up against it this season and am counting on getting it soon - matter of fact I've been questioning my mailman lately on why it hasn't arrived .

Pictured below are a couple of shot I took recently of my new driver - had to cut back on expenses recently because of some purchases I made .I'll be OK as soon as my check arrives ..........And Merry Christmas ! ! ! !

BTW , my "new" ride tows well .

Don't know that you can call it a daily driver, as my graphic design business is home-based, so this 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4.7L might get a trip to the store now and then, but it's typically towing a car and trailer. Usually gets around 12-13mpg towing, but has hit 15.0 mpg towing on flatland at the speed limit. Over 192,000 miles on it now. I even put a set of spark plugs in it once. Been a great truck. I specifically bought a 1500 so I wouldn't even be tempted to buy an enclosed trailer. It's saved me a ton of money! :D
