The cars will get trailered behind the motor home so we have something to drive when the RV is parked. All the other times we drive them. The 66 Barracuda went 400+ miles to Mopar show in Dabuque Ia in Augest.
 
gotta gotta drive,
she might become a weekend queen one soon,
for now the love is in the driving
 
Mine will never be a show car, was hit pretty hard at some point, just one of Mopars best efforts, still works fine at 46 year old. I avoid driving in the rain though because of all the leaks:toothy10:
 
Im all for driving my car but I have also done some high end restorations and cant knock the car not being driven when there is a $6000 set of NOS Polyglas tires. Sometimes its the value of the parts not the car.
 
I have trailers for my GM and Ford friends.
 
I drive my scamp every day, unless I need to haul something then I drive my truck.
 
I love driving mine but low gears prevent long trips and after hitting a deer with it this summer, I'm afraid to drive it in the country. I trailer it to track other than the 1 close one to me and to nat's.
 
I will do an engine swap after work just so i can keep driving her. I have also been know to swap in a different engine when challenged to a race.... I pulled up and the dude was like WTF why does your car sound different???
at that point had a 318 in so I borrowed a 340 for the weekend........

I finally got my driveable in October. I put over 500 miles on her before I stopped drving her last Monday. We have 18 inches of snow now!

I don't commute to work so the miles were for fun. I would imagine next summer she will be out just about every day it is not raining. I just don't want to get rain on her!

A 360, 4-speed, and 323 suregrip make her a blast to drive! My good friend showed my how to shift her with out lifting! I just don't have the sand to try it!
 
I drive my Dart all the time. Only time I trailer it is to realy far car shows that are more than a 2 hour drive. The only other time would be to the drag strip just in case I brake some thing I can still get her home.

The Duster is going to be a drag only car and will need trailered every where. It will have to be as it will not be street legal.
 
Mine is still in progress so it sits in the garage. When finished it will be driven not trailered.
 
This is a post that hurts me so much...Why well my car has been off the road since 2001
but prior to that it was a driver rain or shine..now its in paint shop and hopes to drive again soon..As far as driving why own it if you don't drive it..Unless its that rare or so over done..just my 2 cents..Peace
 
My Scamp( 5.9 Mag/727 3400 stall/3.55)will be a daily driver when done.Craziest d/d, 396 El Camino(big solid cam,square ports,4500 stall, 4.11) nuts.Saw the appetite for destruction on the poll masthead,fits that car to a tee.
 
The 'Cuda is a driver.

3800 miles on the 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour.:D
A total of 8000+ miles since Sept. 2010:D

It LOVES that freeway at 60 and up.
