mines not a DD but it may be soon. I have 183,000 on my 98 explorer, it's gas hog, shakes, has a weird smell, lots of error lights...ugly My 98 vette has less than 40k on her.

I picked up my 01 on Feb 20. I got it with 32,505, I now have 36,200. I have driven it about every single day since I got it. Rain be damned. I love to drive in the rain. I wash the car when I get a chance and last night put the 3rd coat of RejeX on the car so the paint/clearcoat is protected. I LOVE driving this car. Traffic is not an issue as I don't mind sitting and waiting. I love going anywhere, anytime. I'm not worried about miles at all. I'm driving this thing and when enough time and miles go by, I'll have saved up for the next thing, whatever it might be.
For the winters, I have a Toyota Tundra with 4WD. It is not as much fun as the Vette, not at all.

With Kumho ASX's on it it's surprisingly good in nice weather, solid in the rain, and safe up to about 4" of the white stuff. Any more than 4" it's time to telecommute...
We might get 3 storms like that a year around here so no big deal...

I originally bought mine as a weekend car but it is just too much fun to drive.
It usually is the one I go to in the morning unless there is snow on the road and then I drive the Fiero because if it had a place to attach a plow I think i could make money clearing parking lots with it. That think will go anywhere in the snow.
I have put a 50,000 miles on mine in 1 year. I drive it at least 125 miles a day to and from work. I wash it 3 times a week and try to keep it as clean as possible.
I Change the oil every 5000 miles.
When people see that it it has over 180,000 miles on it they do not believe it.
The guy that tuned it could not believe how smooth it ran and drove.
