When mine isn't broken,I drive it anytime I can.I actually had it out yesterday to run to the parts store and get some stuff for my everyday junker.And considering its the middle of December and the heater core is out right now and im in the northeast.I am truly a Clown but a very happy Clown now that mine is back running incredible.I only put about 500 miles on it this summer,but they were hard miles for sure.
