Well, I have to drive my car FOR work (I do network service calls for a local copier company) so I need something that I can beat on and rack up miles on. I drove the FD for work for a few years which KILLED me.
First daily driver was the infamous Nissan Quest. This is what gave me the idea of swapping to the Quest horns. It was a good van, actually VERY comfortable to ride in, ice cold air. I sold it before something major went wrong with it - had 185,000 miles at the time I sold it.
Current DD is an '02 Ford Windstar. It was my mother-in-law's van, they sold it to us for what they owed on it which was $4500 about 3 years ago, a helluva deal. My wife drove it at first, then we sold the Quest, got her a New Beetle Turbodiesel, and I got the Windstar.
It's not as comfy as the Quest was, but it's been reliable. I'd really like to get something wagon-ish so I can haul things around yet still have 4-cylinder fuel economy. Pretty much any minivan gets 18 city, 21 highway.
Good thing with minivans is they're typically DIRT cheap, dead reliable, big and comfy, and you can actually haul a LOT of stuff in there. Pickup trucks always have a premium around here, even for stripped base models with NO toys. Most minivans have tons of neat gadgets and stuff - hell, our van has a VCR!
