daily, and everywhere. from regular school duty, to long distance trips, ski duty, fishing duty, beach duty, and the occasional "oh, look! there's a big spot of open dirt, with no rocks or sand, and it's flat. let's go play!" duty.

Use the MB for business trips and fair weather excursions around town. Toyota truck when its nasty out, pulling the boat or being a GA redneck.

No sir, unless your Toyota has a minimum of a six inch lift, you are not qualified for the redneck status because it is not an American truck. Just kiddin!

Interesting! For the past year I have been commuting with my C.

For the past few weeks I have been driving my '94 toyota 4Runner to school and work and I drive the C on the weekends. I guess the reason I am doing this is too keep my miles down and to appreciate my car more.

In the market
I used to have a pretty slick weekend cruiser and a really crappy daily driver. I sold the cruiser and traded the beater so that I could sport a Benz as my daily driver. I would like to pimp out the Benzo, but right now I think finishing my house is holding priority.

Yup your house is top priority. I recently had landscapping done at my house and it was the best 5K I EVER spent. My house looks like a million bux too bad its in the ghetto


Noble: lol yes even as I put so many K it will be my daily...hehe

I have too many vehicles...the Benz spends plenty time sleeping in the garage. I winter I use my old Cherokee, although I did have to use the Benz a few days recently when the Cherokee got loaned out to a family member after thier car's fuel pump died.

Let me tell you...Michelin Pilots don't stick to anything when you wake up to 7 below zero!
