What kind of cars/trucks do you all drive as your daily/beater? Just curious to see what people "other vehicles" are on here. I am looking into trying to find a cheap daily to drive back and forth from Mason, to Brown County everyday(gotta save some dough for stang parts somehow :D ). Thought I'd see what everyone else was cruising around in:bigthumb

I wish I had something that got 38mpg's!
I am thinking about trying to make payments on a '92 S-10 4 cyl. 5 speed... I checked the mileage, It should get around 22-25 on the highway...
Is it worth buying? Mainly as a winter beater/parts hauler
