Re: Long live the Daily Driver

You like daily drivers? I will point to my father. He bought his 1986 GMC Sierra brand new in 1986 and was the only vehicle he owned until around 2009. He was a welding teacher, and is still an avid hunter. He drove that truck every single day of the week for almost 25 years before he finally let it have a break every now and then. It's a manual trans, no A/C in BLACK and was never garaged (so it was always hot as hell). That takes some dedication, and thus rubbed off onto me and my NEED to have a squarebody. His truck is still going strong, and though I've tried, I won't be able to pry it off of him until he's gone cold... so I went out and found a 1986 C10 to tinker on. Sure enough, as soon as I bought it, he was kicked into high gear again wanting to make sure his Blackie was running tight and looking great. While I can't say that my C10 is a daily driver, it's really only because I have kids and the engine needs some overhaul. That said, I agree, long live the daily driver!
