Depends on my mood....

Some days, it's the diesel car, some days it's the diesel coach, some days it's the REI used hybrid bicycle, and some days it's the 2009 Nikes bought new...

I drive my 300TD as a DD, my wife drives the 300CD and we trade off on the 300SDL depending on what repairs or maintenance I'm doing.

Right now the SDL is my wife's DD until I finish the body work and trap/ox bypass pipe job on the CD.

My 3 yo daughter wants me to drive the SDL daily because she likes all the room in the back. She says the TD is "too squeezy".
