I drive an 81 rabbit pickup daily.
1.8L 8V, scratch built turbo w/intercooler.
Its not pretty, but very reliable considering the abuse it takes.

  I run my '84 (158,000+) 8 miles each way to work, five days a week. Prior
to this March, it was 25 miles each way. I've done this for the two years
I've owned it.

  My '71 Campmobile and '79 loaf were daily drivers as well.
