All of my cars are built with driving in mind so they are all drivers in my opinion. Unless I have my friends '71 Malibu Convertible... that is strictly a nice-day car.

Drivers; 1976 Malibu Classic sedan - first car, got the keys to it in '92-- my first ride in it was when my parents took me home from the hospital after I was born.

1986 Pontiac 6000-STE - 1999-2001. Fun car, Almost as fast as the '76, a bit more fuel efficent, but not nearly as reliable, but needed far less cosmetic work.

1995 Furd Explorer XLT- 2001 to now. Bought off my brother in law for peanuts, and it currently has 280,000 miles. It's my fun get-dirty car for pounding down dirt roads and also my clean it up and take it on dates car, basically everything I want to do, I usually use it.

2000 Furd Contour - 2008-2009. Meh. bought for 250 bucks fixed it up and drove it while gas prices were sky-high. I never did like it very much, nor did it get much better mileage than the Explorer despite the 4 cylinder engine. Sold for 2,000. I turned around and then

Bought the green '77 Malibu Classic. It's the fun car in general, not the primary driver but I tend to drive it far more often now. It serves as backup to the elderly Explorer.
