Depends.
If it is running good then I drive the piss out of it. If it is running poorly I ***** like crazy about.

Couple thousand a year if im lucky, not by choice I just dont get a chance that much between work and the weather and family. 3 kids dont fit to well. Sometimes wish I had something different to take the family in.

I guess I'm on the fence between the two. Current Cobra I have had on the road really for just over a year and I have logged 2,180. Would like to do more but so many things going on this past year to get in the way. I did put 150 miles on a drive this past weekend while it was around 100 degrees.
Heck I used to ride a motorcycle in all kinds of weather extremes, thats what i tell myself (but I was a LOT younger then!).

Mine is being talked about as it's to darn hot in Dallas to drive it. Like John Dean guess I'm getting old as when it get's in the 90s it sits and that has pretty much been the temp the last 30 days....When I was younger I was out all the time but to think back that was on the lake with a Fountain Offshore boat with my hair on fire blastin across the lake. Enjoying the refreshments and in the water never noticed it was 100 plus out most of the time. The good old days!

Absolutly! Last Sunday I went for a long drive. Half it was highway, crusing in 5th at 75-80mph. And half it was 2 lane black top through mountains - working in 3rd and 4th gear. I averaged 18mpg for the whole day.
It's cheaper to feed than my diesel pick up.

I definitely talk about mine more than drive it. And I'm proud to say that I do. |
