In the sig, was dd'ing my brothers TDI jetta all summer when he was away but I've lost that now. Love to pick up a winter beater to keep the rust off the truck, but I don't see that happening.

I guess my daily would be my work van, which is a '98 Ford E250 5.4L with 197k miles. Hate that van, but it's holding up good for now.

I drive my little truck whenever I want to be in A/C, since it currently doesn't work in my big truck...
