Default Show us your daily drivers

I'm curious to see pictures of what 944 owners use for daily drivers. I know a few of you use your 944 as a daily driver. I don't know how you guys do it. The maintenance alone would kill me!
Anyhow my DD is a 2014 Toyota Tacoma, regular cab 4X4 with a 5 speed manual transmission. Let me just say I love this truck. It's a great fit for me. The best thing about it is the sliding back window. I love that breeze. I go places and carry things that would be impossible to do with the 944. I plan on replacing the stock wheels and tires with Fuel Anza wheels and Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires.

My 944 is my DD. About 20K miles every year on it. And last year only spent $700 in maintenance. Year before was $1500 with a TB/WP job. Still cheaper than a car payment and it's never left me stranded (knock on wood...).

I can't imagine a much more expensive or inconvenient daily, but damn do I love driving it every single day.

While my 944 is driven regularly (it just turned 181,000 miles) it isn't officially my daily driver because I put about 2,000 miles per year more on my '90 Miata which is also my track toy.

Faster, but not as much fun as the 944.
