I usually drive mine around 25 to 30 miles a week. Mainly on weekends to shows and what not. Gas prices probably will not change this, unless something crazy happens.

about 10-15 miles a week, only a weekend cruiser. Once in a great while i'll take it to work which is about a 2 mile drive, so in other words not very much :)

This week I put about 100 miles on it. I took it to work yesterday, and last Friday I drove it over to Philadelphia to drop someone off at the airport. That was the first time it was driven since November 13th.

Oh I agree that's whay I didn't spend a lot of extra time making everything perfect. Perfection = afraid to drive it. Mine spent most of last year in the garage stripped down but now it's got a much more fun combo under the hood. Now if I can only afford this darn gas I'll put it on the road to the tune of 2500 miles/year like in the old days (2004).

Not necessarily. I just redid the body with new floor pans, quarters, fenders, hood, inner fenders, and flawless paint. Quite a nice chunk of change, but I still drive it about 3 times a week. Usually about 30 miles a week. Depends a lot on the weather (I am not afraid to take it out if it's a threat of rain, but I just have trouble keeping her straight if I do :D ). But I try and hit at least 2 of the cruise nights a week during teh summer.

Hopefully within a month or 2 I'll be using it at least 1-2 days a week just to go cruisin.... Hve a checklist of stuff that needs to be done before I will drive it on the street, as soon as that last thing is checked off I'm going out for a ride....

My driver is a 70 SS 454 RED Sta. Wgn. Last year Hot Rod Power tour,--Pitt. to CB 05--Pitt to Buff. Can Am show--Pitt to MD Chevellle show--Pitt to Taylor Mich. Visit Brother--. Pitt to Norwalk Oh. Watch races. Good weather drive it anywhere. Highway milage 19-20. 700R-3:08. City milage is like flushing a toilet. Put a little over 5000 miles on it last year. My 70 SS 454 El camino M 22 car. In and out of the trailer 3-4 times. Show cars are a lot of fun. Driving your 70 SS 454 Red sta. wgn. all over the east coast PRICELESS !!!!!!!

10 to 20 miles a month from April/May through October unless it is raining, looks like rain, or there is any rain within 50 miles of here, then not at all. Kind of :sad: if you think about it.

I've never driven mine. Had it about 6 years so far. Hopefully it will be driveable before the end of summer.

Was driving my Elky pretty much everyday since last fall (unless it was raining or snowing). Now not driving more then 2 days a week. Drive the Chevelle on weekends to get ice cream or to a cruise. Usually put 3,500 miles on the Velle in a year, and 5,000 on the Elky. This year looks like it will be a bit less due to gas prices??
