Post Looking for a good daily driver.

It is just to much of a PITA to try to work on a car when you need to use it every day. Before I buy any more mods I have decided to look for a good daily driver. I'm basically opened to any choices right now and my budget is around 5K. I could go less but I'm looking for something decent, not a POS 80's style Civic. I was looking at an Extreme but as of right now I'm opened to any suggestions. I'm just going to put my Z28 as a weekend vehicle on my insurance and hope that drops my rates a little

get a light truck, they last forever, you can haul s*** and get great gas mileage.

I however am getting a 1990 240sx.
