With any luck, mine will be finished this Spring.  I waited 20 years to get another Challenger and I plan on driving it every chance I get.

I drive mine just about every weekend from March until November and sometimes to work during the week.  I just like to drive it....    :burnout:    :2thumbs:

I drive my cars every chance I get.And my close friends can tell you that I don't consider a car my car till I back it out,put it in 1st gear and let all hell break loose. :roflsmiley:
I am not much on showing my cars at a show(I love to meet the people though)plus in the late spring till the fall all you have to do is stop in to my place,they are usually all over the yard. :crazy: :bigsmile:

I like to drive my cars as much as the wheather allows although I also want the cars in much better condition then in the past.
When I was young it was all about driving but now the restorationprocess is eveb important.

I'm guessing that most people have seen it, but one of me favorite bumper stickers at a car show read "If you see this car on a trailer it's being stolen."

 :england:  As most of you will know i am from the uk. It rains a lot here!  So i drive my car most weekends to shows and meets

and never leave home if its raining. But if i get caught in the rain when im out ,so be it.  My insurance limits me to 5K miles a

year,so i have to stay under that.  Another limiting factor here is the price of fuel,  its £5.50 a gallon..........not cheap !   :stomp:

So i try to limit my trips to around 50 miles one way.      Definitely no trailers for me and my cuda,driving is too much fun !   :ylsuper:
just one more job to do..................  (O----{|||}----O)

Drive it!  For me there's no point in a car that won't be driven.  This year I have a convenient place to keep it garaged too. So I am really looking forward to spring!

Drive it when I have time. I live in the city so its sheltered more than I like. Was a daily driver for a while. Embarrassed by a bubbling fender to show it much.

I plan on switching around between the Challenger, Cuda, Polara and 66 Charger and that way only the 69 Charger will feel left out :roflsmiley:
You could sell that '69 to me and I promise it won't 'feel left out'.  :bigsmile:
