I probably do about 5K miles a year - give or take. It's a driver. Sometimes (like last night) we took a cruise around town for a while, stopped for dinner and custard, then went home. Not a lot of miles that way, but about 1.5-2.0 hours of actual drive time.
I drive with the club whenever I can. It's a good group of people and we have a good time. And, there's something pretty awesome about the sight and sound of 15 Roadsters cruising through the canyons and mountains.
We also take a long trips, too. Sometimes a week of cruising (Cruise Colorado), a week end trip, or even a week long business trip. It's comfortable, fun to drive, gets good gas mileage, so, why not? We've driven in all kinds of weather: blazing heat, frigid cold, rain, snow, sleet, hail, brightesrt of days, darkest of nights. You name it we've hit it.
We also race a fair amount. Usually about 12-16 days a year.
So I guess you could say our car is a driver.

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.
