Do you regularly drive you car?

[Twoblackmarks...]

I took my car for a ride this day, even though I have a car I can drive somewhat "fast" in, I really dont drive fast on the street.

I just do some 2nd-3rd full throttle Acceleration or 1-2-3 action at most. And then I am happy and slow down, and sometime mashing the throttle in 2nd to do a mild rolling "burnout" I really love to do that. :D He..He..

But I just do it when I am alone on the road, and drives mostly "Nice"

I save the "maniac" driving for the track where it is possible, who I plan do as much I can Next year :)

What or how do YOU use Your car, especially those of you With killer cars?

Do you just cruise, does Your car actually see a track sometimes? (So you can actually use some of this modifications you have done and paid all to much for :D ) Or does it mostly sit in Your garage? :)

Well mine does sit in the garage more than I'd like. But I try to drive it 2-3 times a month, if not more. Every time I drive it I think "this car is so much fun, why don't I drive it more?" Mind you my daily driver is a 2004 Honda Civic turd. So to go from a 4 cylinder auto that barely gets out of its way to a 454 with a 6 speed, I have an absolute blast. If it got the same MPG as the Civic, I'd drive it daily!

In the last 6 months or so my 78 has gotten more road time than my Z06. I'm selling the Z to get something a little less ridiculous to drive on the street.

Meanwhile, I'm scheming up ways to make the 78 more ridiculous. :D

The 78 gets out once every 2 weeks or so. My commute isn't long enough to get the vapor system going, so I have to save it for the weekend.

Those two cars are a contrast to eachother :D But try to drive it more! ;) I also have a big motor, but I want to make it very user friendly, so I can take it wherever, whenever, or use it as a daily driver for that matter :D Depends somewhat on fuel consumption though, I also have a big motor.. 461cid

On a sidenote, I see you sell VW interior, my daily driver is an Golf 2 16V, can you get seat covers for Edition Recaro seats? Can get Picture if you want.

Nice that it gets driven, thats what its for! Just not make it too ridiculous, so it gets un-street friendly.. He..He.. I Guess it is maybe the motor who is one of the most important factors there maybe :D

Maybe you should get an engine heater ;) :D

I would drive it more, my wallet doesn't allow it! Plus the other thing is that when I drive the Chevelle, I don't want to drive it to work sitting in traffic. I want to cruise it and go to a burger joint or something like that.

Right now we have Golf interiors from 74-85, so I wouldn't have what you're looking for unfortunately.

I drive mine constantly and in every way imaginable. If it isn't down for upgrades, it's being driven. Installed Holley HP EFI last year which made a profound difference. And I had a really nice custom built carburetor, but here in FL, your engine runs on water, not air because of the humidity. EFI is good.

[Shmoov69]

Drive it like I stole it! Then it breaks and sits for who knows how long! 9 1/2 months this last time! Just got it back on the ground last night and need to get it aligned.

Working on gettin mine sorted out, will find out friday on the Good-Guys road tour to Texas.....

[jy211]

try to drive the cars weekly. None are track cars though :flashie:

This is something I'm kind of struggling with right now. My car is being built to be reliable and safe but I question the other drivers out there! So I talk to my insurance agent about coverage that would completely replace the car, with it's modifications, and have it available to drive daily in the warmer months (8,000 miles annually) and the price gets a little silly. I'm also in one of those states where the property liability insurance minimum is $10,000! That wouldn't cover a 4 year old Accord!!!

One of the site sponsors on here, LaRue Classics, can help you out there.

I have an agreed upon value with my Chevelle with them. They know this isn't my daily driver, that its kept in the garage, etc. etc.

It's worth it to give him a ring!

[BonzoHansen]

not enough. i used to drive it a lot more before I changed jobs. my current commute does not make for a good environment for my car. and it never goes out if there is salt on the roads in winter.

[brownz]

I drive my 72 nova everyday and my camaro a couple times a weeks. the only time they sit is in the winter

Your driving style sounds very similar to mine.

Our car was built to be driven, and we have a lot of fun taking it on long trips. With the 5 speed, it's set up to supercruise on the highway, but she really loves the high mountain twisties.

With the new engine, just going in, I have yet to take her on any long weekend trips this year.

I wish it was sunny all year round. This car is such a blast to drive. Alas the season is winding down. I hope that we get a few more sunny weekends.

It's great to have all of these products which can make our cars streetable and perform well.

I used to think I put a fair amount of miles on my car, driving it a few days a week, tracking it, and racking up about 20k on it so far, but the last several cars to roll out of BOS have me beat. Gregg drove from San Diego to Tennessee, up to NY and over to MI. Then Dick got his car done and went on two road trips to tally 11k on the odometer it six months. :wow:

Yikes! Looks like my lead is shrinking.
Think I'll drive to Lubbock. That'll be good for another 1,600 miles. Maybe pick up an LS7 while I'm there. :G-Dub:

"They know it isn't my daily driver" is the part were I lose the collector car insurance companies. I know of 2 that offer coverage for a daily driven pro-touring car but it gets quite pricey.
I shouldn't whine, my boss pays $8k a year to insure his Ferrari...

[Twoblackmarks...]

That white Camaro was Nice, that blue Mustang too :) We have long wintertimes here, and lotso salt, so then my car sits inside for 5-6 months atleast...

My Insurance is cheap atleast, as long as you have an normal car to use everyday. But how good the Insurance is if something actually happens I do not now, but teoretically it is no problem... 30-Year old cars here are cheaper to insure even when "customized", they are considered "veteran/historic" cars. But it Depends of course, on usage/price/Level of modification.. Etc.

Nice to see People use their cars, I was going to work some on the car today and drive it some, but it started raining really Heavy, so it just sat in the dark garage all by itself..
