Annual drive your square to work day? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

84chevyguyid · 06-29-2014, 07:38 PM

Havent seen this here, the corvette guys always had a "drive your vette to work day" in june every year and posted pics of their cars at work. I drove the burb over to the field to bale hay but it wasnt quite dry enough to bale so I figured I might as well take a few pics while I was waiting.

thefraze_1020 · 06-29-2014, 08:27 PM

That picture just reeks of "Americana". Love it!

meatwagon83 · 06-29-2014, 09:28 PM

isnt that everyday? it is for me! and i have noticed that out west they bale large square bales, unlike the round bales here, maybe you want the cows to have a square meal?

Rubble · 06-29-2014, 11:40 PM

We have six trucks between 1980 & 1987 with current plates & ins. It's a rare day that I don't drive one!!!

asphaltburner · 06-30-2014, 12:47 AM

Cool!
FRANKENTRUCK is on-call everyday of the year. It can't really contain large bales in the bed, but it sure hauls everything else daily.

Mine was a DD from 2010-2012. I took a few pics back then.

Keith Seymore · 06-30-2014, 12:34 PM

Every day is "drive your square to work day" for me, too.

**Corts60** · 06-30-2014, 03:29 PM

I also drive a square to work everyday.

Square body owners and Corvette owners will never be similar, with any luck.

**mm1077** · 06-30-2014, 09:28 PM

Drive it to work every day...

LOL.

The owner of this Corvette happens to be the head of Chevy Truck Marketing.

Old Red sticks out like a sore thumb in the downtown parking garage when I driver her to work.

Malo83 · 07-01-2014, 06:05 PM

Everyday since June 83

"Like a Rock"

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-01-2014, 11:34 PM

Great thread guys! I used to daily an 84 K20 70 miles a day. Back when gas was affordable.

tlawre87 · 07-02-2014, 08:14 AM

If I could drive mine to work I def would. But my 50miles to work would get expensive the first day.

CoggedBelt75 · 07-02-2014, 04:35 PM

Here is what takes me to work everyday since 2001.

At least I have an out of the weather place to park but the dirt and gravel yard keeps me and the duster very busy.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-02-2014, 07:44 PM

Joe, awesome truck and that's cool you drive it every day! I'm guessing you don't have to drive far if your username and your scoop are for real?

CoggedBelt75 · 07-02-2014, 08:03 PM

Thanks man! 2.5 miles to work. All back road with only 2 stop signs

. Cut out most of the out of town trips ever since the gas prices got out of hand. And it's for real. Here's what I was running.

Here's my new setup.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-02-2014, 08:50 PM

Awesome man! Was it hard to street the alky set up? (That's what I'm assuming it was)

CoggedBelt75 · 07-02-2014, 09:39 PM

Pump gas setup. Converted Enderle hat from BDS. Ran good but had problems with the ecu from day one. Come to find out it had a bad mother board. Ran 5 years with the efi. No more electronics for me.

Keith Seymore · 09-12-2014, 11:30 AM

We've got our own little private car show going on today....

When I pulled out my spot was taken by a '96 (ish) Impala SS.

Keith Seymore · 10-09-2014, 05:51 PM

Yep. Today too.

Except it was also a bonus "swing by and pick up some race fuel" day.

D13 · 10-10-2014, 06:10 AM

I tried to drive the diesel in yesterday, got a couple miles down the road and the volt gauge started flickering. Either have lost the alternator, one of the batteries, or more likely the glow plug controller is finally toast. I was gonna park in the lot with Keith and prove that I really do drive it to work some times... But that Vega might have taken my spot.

Chaplain · 10-10-2014, 08:34 AM

Mr. Seymore you have seen a lot. I've read your story. Amazing.

Thank you. Seems like I've forgotten a lot, too.
