Something completely different- "Moby", the Great White Whale- a 1993 Peugeot 405 Turbo-Diesel Estate:
That's my daily driver and the wife has a
2005 Fiat Doblo Turbo-Diesel Van.
1972 Jensen Healey Mk 1, sort of a runner, once I put it back together.
And the Big Healey project, 1967 AH 3000....

I've used the '64 BJ8 as my daily driver for 22 years since I was in college. It's still my daily driver - I just drove it into work today.
Now that I have kids we went and bought a used 1995 Toyota Previa... which you could say we use about the same as the BJ8. When we are in California, we also use a 2004 Toyota Scion xB I bought a while back... great car, lots of space, 30+ MPG.

From an Austin Healey Sprite driver:
'05 Ford Freestar minivan (for towing race car). Bought new and has about 30K right now. We towed to a club race at BeaveRun (near Pittsburgh) last weekend and we're towing back to the Pittsburgh Vintage in three weeks. Has 3.9L V6 and gets 17 mpg towing with a/c on.
'00 Miata with about 60K on it. A truly excellent car.
Interestingly, I bought both of these as "left-over" models brand new. And both cost exactly the same: $17,300.

2004 Envoy is used frequently (great tower) as well as 1996 Jaguar XJS 2+2 Convertible. Also use '48 Dodge 1/2 pick-up for major pick-up and drop-off, i.e. new large purchases, yard waste to the local transfer station, etc. This is a working truck and might well in the future be a restored to new when dollars permit.
I will be curious to see the results of your survey.
