The how often do you drive your cuda/challenger thread?

[MEK-Dangerfield]

Not as much as I'd like. 

  With 93 octane gas being WAY over $3 a gallon here, and the insurance restrictions, I'm just scared to drive it too much. I put maybe 1500 miles on it a year. I try to drive it at least twice a month, even in the cold. Once I get on the hiway, the heat from the headers keeps me warm.

Dont get me started on the price of gas. 91, summer/watered down mix runs 3.33/gallon (our 'high' octane). and i have to run a mix of that and 100octane (4.99/gallon) because our summer mix 91 pings off my 9.7:1 compression when its hot like it is now. Its about a 50/50 mix, daily driven, 10mpg...yea you can imagine what i go through in gas.

Thanks for cheering me up.  I get 12 MPG on the hiway, but at least I'm having fun. That's at 3000 RPM, 67-68 MPH. I really can't expect much more than that for how my engine is built.

Ya,high gas prices and 30 miles to work one way means I only drive it to work maybe every other week.I probably put 1500-2000 miles on her going to cruise nights and car shows and plenty of drag strip time!Took her out Monday for the first real drive this year and blasted around for an hour or so.

[daves70]

I try to drive it at least once a week in the good months. I doubt if I get to put more than 2-300 miles on it a year.(Sad isn't it)

[cudagirl4406pk]

Well i drive my car on the weekends to shows and to  cruise i try to drive the car whenever i can when it is nice outside.

Wow,

I am surprised a bit     by the responses on this thread ....  especially the numbers of miles people are posting.

I cant believe you guys with running cars dont drive them more.Oh well - maybe when I finish my car it will only get driven 100mi/yr...........NOT

[moparbulldog]

I drive mine as much as a can, but that still only results in about 100-200 miles every couple weeks.  If I could get it to run a little cooler around town I would probably drive it even more, but in the 100+ heat of the summer, it gets hard to keep the big block cooled down.  Still waiting to get it to the strip as well, so the miles should go up after that.

My FK5 is a driver every sunny day we have, However my FY1 only comes out to play a couple times a year.

[70RTdroptop]

Bought the car in 2004, put on maybe 1500 miles that year. Put on 3000 miles last year because my buddy and I went on the Power Tour. This year I'm at 500 miles already, probably put on close to 2000 this year. I drive it when it's nice, in parades, stuff like that. I'm still breaking in the engine that was totally rebuilt last September, so I don't need too much of an excuse to take her out.

[hemi71]

I think the new Cuda has about 10 miles since it's been roadworthy. Still shakin the bugs out. I will usually drive my "hobby" cars around 400-500 miles a year each.

[JS27N0B]

100 miles a year is about it for the convertible. The Dart was finished in 04 and now has 965 miles on the NOS cluster. It's more of a time thing than anything else.

[KTO]

driven it twice.... 10 miles   It's only been running for 2 weeks though

[71fish]

We drove the car whenever we had an excuse..

cruise nights
ritas
coffee during weekend
garage sale'n
gas for the lawn mower
..or just country road cruises

that was last year.. this year she sits in the garage getting stripped down to her original sheet metal. I'll post some pics soon of my progress.
