I drive the stang. It looks horrible right now, but it's not warm enough to wash it yet (10*= car wash opens). Somedays, when the weather is horrible enough, I borrow my parents 4WD suv.

Unfortunately I have to drive my Mustang during the winter. I try to borrow my moms car whenever possible, but that doesnt always workout. I cant wait for spring to clean my car and put the rims back on!

EDIT: sorry, forgot to answer the question: My daily driver is a Toyota Corolla. Not quite in the same range as the stang as far as comfort, ride, etc, but it does get almost 40 mpg on the highway 
, and it's a Toyota (what else is there to say)
OFF-TOPIC: The only thing I hate about spring is that good ol' Mid-Atlantic POLLEN. Black car + Pollen season = Green car, even if stored in the garage. And, since it's black, it won't hide it at all. Thank goodness that only lasts a couple of weeks.

Mostly our '05 Focus unless my daughter isn't looking and I take her ZX-2.
It snowed about 1 inch the other night, followed by at least 1/2" of salt after the snow cleared. The parking lot at work looks like Bonneville.

Yeah, with pollen you get about 1 minute. Anything else it's about 2 It not even worth cleaning the car during the pollen season, because it is literally dirty by the time you are ready to clean the other side of the car.
Black looks great when clean, but you really have to love cleaning in order to buy a black car, because it only looks good for about 15 minutes after washing.
And, if you look at it wrong, it scratches. But man do they look good for a short time when clean, let alone detailed.
