I drive mine a few times a month, mainly on clear sunny days.   I would drive it more but work keeps me away from most of the local shows.

Before the fully restored 70 challenger 340-6pak crapped out with about 50 miles in 2 1/2 weeks, i have almost towed it from the front storage garage to the working garage and back about 40 times, racking up the towing miles

I drove less than 800 miles this entire year with my Cuda, the least i have ever drivin since i got it. I have been busy with other hobbys and issues. We bought a new holiday trailer this year so i was out doing some camping on weekends that other years i went to shows. Life is about balance and i had to do some balancing. Hopefully we will have lots of time in life to put some miles on.  :burnout:

My 70 Cuda just hit the road in April and spun a rod bearing at the end of June with 721 miles on it. I had it back running the end of August and ended up with a total of 1,815 miles on it. My 71 Challenger RT I drive everywhere and put about 2,500 miles year including driving it to the Mopar Nationals. I have owned my 71 Challenger RT since 1989 and have put around 40,000 miles on it. Would drive them more if the weather permited.

I do about 2-3k a season which is ~late March to middle November here in the Northeast.I would drive it more but work is 45 min. away and gas is too expensive.I do drive it hard as it`s no show pony and log plenty of time at the drags.My hard compound BFG rear tires last about 4-5k.  :burnout:

I put about 500-600 miles on mine a year. Just going to car shows and cruise-ins. Or taking it for a ride on a nice dry day.
