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.
'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.
Diverse. I sorted the results so far by make. I wasn't 100% sure for everybody which car you would consider your daily driver but I did pick only one car for everyone.
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.

I'm wondering how Justin intends plot the responses to this one....maybe the bell curve will reveal that the most popular daily drive of an Austin Healey owner is...a reliable car.
'99 Mercedes S320 78,000 miles - prior to that '89 Mercedes 300SEL that I put 215,000 miles on and loved every one of 'em. I drive my Healey every chance I get (weather here in Iowa) and sometimes every day for several in a row.
Bad weather car (mine) 2007 Cobalt
Show car 1962 corvette
Fun car 2004 Cobra replica
Economy car 1992 Miata
Project car 1959 Bn6
Her car 2001 Escort ZX2(soon to be gone)
Since I have retired they are all "daily drivers" Bob
