What's your other vehicle? Is it your daily driver over your 4x4 rig?

I have a 67 mustang that gets driven when the 4Runner gives me attitude. ( even though i shouldn't drive it, since it has a cracked shock tower. it doesn't get driven hard or very far. )

i haven't checked this thread in a while! keep it going. I was thinking about picking something up when I posted this because I would had to drive 50 round trip to work every day and at highway speeds I sometime push 4k rpms which my leaking old motor does not like.
I'm going into the military so I don't think I'll need another vehicle other that the 4runner for the next couple of years. I won't have a place to wrench living on base in barracks, but I think most of my plans for the toy will come together with the new financial situation coming soon. When I get out I think I will retire the 4runner as a DD and long distance highway driving and pick up a tacoma, 3rd gen 4runner, or maybe a little car. or maybe start another project like an old hot rod to restore and get running again. I love wrenching and builind vehicles up from the ground.
keep it coming

The photo was to large to post and unlike my children I lack to necessary computer skills to correct the issue. I agree the thread did not make much since without the photo. ( Not a very good start for my 1st post )

At night I'm usually on my bar hopper, a SE Lager:
By day, I've been driving a 2001 Honda Prelude SH. I don't have a good photo of it (I've been waiting until it's "done", which we know will never happen, so I need to get off my rear and get some photos), but here's the back of it during a visit to my favorite local shop:
I'm not sure if my 4Runner will become my DD yet or not, I haven't had it a week yet.
My car since highschool was a 1995 Nissan 200SX. I finally sold it early this year. It was a great car.

^^Great pic!
I have a 1993 Subie Impreza L FWD 5 sp. 1.8 H4. It needs some love. Haven't decided yet whether to swap the engine to a 2.2 or 2.5 or just rebuild the one in it. It needs paint, struts, clutch, rear main seal and probably the valves adjusted. But as long as I keep my foot out of it, I can kick along at 35-36 mpg to work and back.
I would really like to put it into toy status and start DD'ing my wife's Civic and get her a Sequoia to cart the kids around.
