Ok, it's known that everybody here has cool Mopars but what are your daily work cars / trucks? Pictures preferred.

I'm betting we're going to see alot of trucks.

Not when your average daily commute is 150 miles per day.97 Ford Escort wagon,216,000 trouble free miles and hoping to get one more summer out of it.The thing is actually kinda handy as all the seats fold down and can be used as a truck.Heck i hauled all the gtx sheet metal home in it and was able to close the hatch.
 
Thanks, guy I bought if off of also had a bunch of A body parts and some B body stuff. He had a whole front clib from the framerails forward of a 68 383 dart and a big block 67 barracuda.For $1,325 I had the truck, a 383 2 barrel setup, a 64 383 intake with a nice carter avs on it, and a 66 383 4 barrel engine. Delivered to my door at that price! Cool guy, he knew a bunch of other mopar guys in the area I've dealt with.
 
Not a big Ford fan but damn, that's pretty nice for the daily beater.

It is my parts hauler....:yes: Last year at Pate Swap Meet, I hauled home a 71 Charger steering column, upper and lower door panels for front and rear, misc interior trim also for a 71 Charger, a set of A-body hood scoops, 70 Dart taillight housings, a 70 4bbl air cleaner, a 3 freshly rechromed bumpers (71 Charger F/R and a 70 Dart rear). :thumbsup: Another time I went to pick up some 71 B-body bucket seats and a buddy seat. When I pulled up to the guys house he said....."you gonna haul them in that?"! lol......"Yes sir" :grin: ....A few minutes later......he said "I would have never guessed they would fit". I just carry some blankets and beach towels and wrap up everything that I put in there and take my time loading and unloading.
 
Here's my little truck on my big truck:blob1:

I hear what you're saying. I was going to wait until somebody here gave me crap because I started the thread but my commuter is a 1996 Volvo 850, non-turbo, manual. AKA the Swedish Express. I paid $3K for it six years ago with 130K miles on it. It now has 290K miles on it and still going strong. I’m going to try and get it to 500k. I commute ~450 miles a week.

34 MPG all day long at 85mph. 70-95mph is smack in the middle of the power band.
Front wheel drive for the ice, handles like a euro, best seats ever designed, good stereo to drown out the rattles, heavy car so I can do battle on the interstate plus if I pile it up at 85mph I know I’ll walk away and won't care.

Don't hate on the Mustang! I've driven this car hard for 80k miles. It will roast the tires shifting to 2nd and chirps going into 3rd and still runs like the first day I bought it. Only problem thus far is when I grenaded the throw out bearing (wonder why, lol).

This is the only pic I have of daily drivers. Plus this truck really isnt a DD anymore, gets parked in the winter and comes out to go pulling.
