Default Daily Drivers?

After almost 2 years with my S2000 I finally got a daily driver!

I got my hands on a silver 2006 Scion xA and while its pretty gutless and boring to drive, it's definitely much easier to live with than my S... there are almost no blindspots on the car, the suspension is very pothole compliant, and I dont have to worry about attracting too much attention.

Only complaint I have about it is the positioning of the speedo/tach ... why would you stick it in the middle of the dashboard??!

So what do you guys drive besides your S?

I be rocking a ballin 2000 grand caravan
175k on the clock

No not really a DD, but I did just trade my 03 ranger to my parents for said van. Needed an enclosed wip for parts pickup. Since that truck can't pull **** anyway, I figured the van would be a much better choice for me.

Not anymore; which is why I got rid of mine.

It was not comfortable to sit in for any length of time. I don't know how I put up with it for as long as I did to be honest.

wow, yeah, I don't think I could last 12 hours in one. lol

5 1/2 hours is the longest trip I took in mine. With the cruise set it wasn't too bad, but, the lower part of my body would get cramped up in that car for some reason.

indeed. maintenance is very inexpensive.

But my S is uber-comfortable compared to Fit to me

and now that i got rid of the Fit's payment, the 94 Teg I bought is still efficient getting an average of 33mpg. w00t
