I trade off between a 2011 Equinox and a 2004 Silverado 2500HD. The Camaros stay in the garage except for nice weekends in the summer.

Spring/Summer/Fall: Girlfriend has a 2006 Scion tC and I have a 2012 Camaro...so we'll switch off back and forward each day since we both work at the same company.

Winter: She will drive her Scion and I'll drive my 1991 Accord (I know..sad..the car is only 4 years younger than me haha) while the Camaro sits in a garage under a car cover.

You just do what you have to do even if it is cutting out the gourmet coffee every morning will save you $5 a day, going out to eat 1 meal a day average of $7 per day, drink water instead of pop (soda, Coke, whatever) saves you $1 per beverage.... you could easily save $286 from that alone and if you smoke or drink alcohol, there's even more money that can be used just by cutting that out as well... it really is quite simple to come up with the funds.
This makes me very sad :( sorry to hear that.

I agree as well. The amount of money many people burn on the little things adds up to thousands of dollars a year. There's no halfway with this either, because you eventually get so comfortable with burning cash on that stuff that you dont even notice you're spending an extra $20 every couple of days.

For me its the eating out that's gotta stop. I manage because I don't own a house and rent is cheap. I should add that my Camaro is my DD, winter tires and rims for 5 months of the year.

My DD is a 4Runner, and I a 98 Silverado 1500 with low miles as a back up. I have a job in sales so I travel about 600-800 miles a week. I get a car allowance and mileage, but I rat hole that money and continue driving a clapped out Toyota everyday. I wore out 3 new trucks in the last 10 years with all my traveling. After that, I will probably no longer buy something new just to destroy it for a job I hate.

with 5 vehicles its kinda hard to term any of them as daily drivers. but the 96 Ram 4x4 and the 07 Mustang get the most use.

78 Trans Am = 82k
80 Corvette = 84k
96 Ram 4x4 = 160k
07 Mustang = 51k
10 Camaro = 6k

so by milage I would say the Ram is the daily driver.

I completely agree with this. If you buy a piece of crap to drive daily, then every day you are driving a piece of crap. I'd rather drive a Camaro every day. When I wear it out I'll buy a new one and this one will go to my kids or be a project car. Life is short, enjoy it while you can.
