The S has become my daily driver, tho I don't like taking it out when it's raining. The Dakota mostly just sits these days.

I don't commute anymore but there are days I can drive the S and days I am better with the Civic. Like today I went to the recycle center... try and fit more than 2 buckets in the S

Tomorrow is laundry day... baskets don't fit in the S! Nor do I really want to park it at the laundromat

If I have a customer meeting and there's a chance they may see my car, I drive the expensive one (if you have money you attract more they say).

Driving downtown to park and walk, like I just did, I take the Civic, because I do not want it parked in the public lot.

how do you choose what you are going to drive that day

me i take the beater (lude ) on rainey days and the red baron on nice days to drop the top BUT today i said to myself... self it's been a while since you drove stick and listened to loud music so i took the 'lude

how do you decide
This week since I'm on vacation, in this weather the S, no problem making that decision. Most days, the Jeep, since the S is not a daily driver.

We drive our Vdub all the time. We discovered the highway MPG is quite good. The highest is 30~31mpg.
