My daily Drivers are an 88 F-150(Parts hauler) a 1969 Belvedere Sedan(Think
"Adam-12 car in Light Lime Metallic{Original paint!}) and soon, a 1964
Herald Sports 1200. Same Reason- Based on the mood and the weather.

Today's new daily drivers will not las as long as our old ones- the plastic
will deteriorate faster, the metal will rust through quicker, and so forth-
todays cars are built to be replaced(except for the 1000,000 mile engines.
Why throw a 100k engine in a 75k car?)
