Mine hasn't been a DD for quite some time. I've got kids, and the cops get mad if I stuff them in there. 03 Windstar for me.

Great! This gives me more hope to daily drive mine.

I daily drive my car to school and back, about 160+ miles a week, lots of highway miles. I was having problems with the drivetrain, lots of vibration, but replaced the driveshaft (bought for $35 from here) and the clutch and is very smooth now. Still warms up in the morning and idles at 750 rpms with 160XXX miles on it. You just have to watch the maintenance (oil, coolant, tire pressure ect.) and other drivers.

My 10th AE hasn't even been out of the garage yet this year. I only drive it every now and then. Last year I only put 700kms on it, but it is there when I want it.
