Right now, a 1981 Datsun 210 (RWD, 5sd, 2 door) I got it last year for $300 and it must be my most reliable car yet. I commute 90mi. a day to work so I didn't want to run the miles up on a nice car (Rx-7)

I also drive a 94 Infiniti J30. Sweet ride, but a gas hog. 15-18mpg 93 oct.

1997 2 door Pontiac Sunfire, Automatic with a MAJOR engine problem that makes it sound like a diesel engine

or

1999 4 door Pontiac Sunfire, Standard with A/C and power doorlocks. Alternator bearings noisy.

Both sunfires belong to the parental figures.

*used* to be a 1991 Dodge shadow 4-door hatchback with 230,000km on it.

01 Sentra. Don't laugh, it's paid for and gets great gas mileage.

Right now my daily driver is my '80, but that'll be changing just as soon as I can get this 13B rebuilt for my '74 RX4. My wife's daily driver is my '80 Fiesta "S" that I autocross. No mundane cars for us!

You're looking at it.

When I used to carpool with my wife to work, I drove in our Infiniti Q45. Gas mileage on a 4.5L, 278hp car being what it is, I let her drive it to the grocery store since gas is $2.19 a gallon here (93oct premium).

174k miles and still going strong (though a bit more smoke on startup than I'd prefer...)

My daily driver is a Mazda 1996 626, 1.8l. Very good car, and with fuel prices in Europe being WAY HIGHER then in the USA (1.05 euro/liter ) it's a better choice then an RX-7. Although during the summer I make quite a few km's in the Seven. On a yearbase, the seven even gets more use, as I always use it to go on holidays.

94 MazFo Probe GT

Hotshot intake, manifold spacers, exhaust, CM stage II clutch, and two blown CV axles and shitty suspension.

But it looks and sounds fantastic. and is a nice car.
