what type of car do you drive to work?

Given that our Job sometimes require us to be gone from home for days on end, I have found that my car takes a beating just because it does not get run every day. Has anyone else had similar incidences.

I am curious if anybody has any suggestions as for a work car new or used.

A Mercedes coupe, I refuse to drive an ugly or slow car, life's too short.

Interesting. Aside from the paint, my vehicles have always lasted due to the low miles I put on them with this job.

Agreed. Assuming the usual stuff has been done (oil changes, etc), ANYTHING with a 22R/22RE will run a long long time. Although I've know people that got A LOT of miles out of Nissans as well.
