Default Whats your Daily Beater?

I've got two.....

I drive a 96 Nissan Sentra back and forth to work
I also drive an 05 Scion tC around town when I don't feel like taking the Camaro, which is most of the time

95 Roadmaster Wagon so I am never without an LT1. Lots of room ample power, lots of creature comforts, 5000lbs tow rating, good in snow. Only cost me $2500 too. Yes I pay more in fuel usage than I would with something smaller, but still get 18-23mpg with a heavy foot so it isn't all that bad, and the insurance is CHEAP which helps offset the cost of the extra fuel consumption. Something to think about before getting some compact beater.
