I drove mine every day for 3 years. I put 28,000 miles on it with few problems. I did the daily 1 hour stop and go, quite a few 300+ mile trips, and a good number of snowfalls.

Once I got in and released the evil spirit of the PO, things changed, but I think I burned out that ols spell he put on it

A '76 Dodge 360 Custom 100 gets me from here to there in a strage, pimp-like way. A little rust, but a great truck, minus the 5 miles per gallon that it gets! Ouch!

Mine's a Garage Queen. Seldom used but always admired.
Daily drive duties belong to a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo LS, White with Tan custom Coach leather interior, 6 changer CD with 8 speakers and power everything. It's no sports car, but it did come with a 10 year 120,000 mile warranty and ZERO percent financing.
Makes me smile every time I make a payment.
With a commute of 70 miles round trip through Houston traffic, life is best left to an automatic.
I started to put the following as my tag line...
'86 951 for Haulin' ***
'01 Isuzu Rodeo LS for Haulin' Everything Else

I used the turbo for a while as it was new but once the novelty value wore off and sitting in traffic for 3/4 hour a day the auto reared it's ugly head and is used daily again, god I love that car and yes I know it's not a true porsche but the engine is hardly used due to the crap conditions, the rest of the car is still superb due to the galvinisation (???spelling) and the comfort level is no different, I just wished that it could clean it's self (white cars are not good in crap weather conditions) and I guess the'll be no better in Alberta. Coming to a town near you real soon
