It's my daily driver. I used to use my 97 Subaru leggacy for that role, but I got sick of the bad MPG compared to how little power it makes. IE the SC400 makes 100+ hp more, but gets only slightly worse gas milage (22-23 so far for the SC, 23-25 for the subaru).

My "Toy" is a 93 GMC Typhoon. Funny, I daily drive the RWD car, and park the AWD truck. 4.3l V6 + turbo + awd = not much that ****s with it from a stop.

SC400 -- daily driver, close to 40,000 miles a year, beat appearance.
SC300 -- turbo, AEM, 6 speed etc., less than 5,000 miles a year!
Tacoma SRunner -- supercharged, 5 speed. Have to have it because SCs are not proficient at carrying kayaks or camping equipment.
