I have a brand new Malibu that just sits there. I bought the Mailibu so I would have reliable transportation to go back and forth to Chicago. Everytime I have gone, I have taken the burb. I am always driving the burb.

60 Miles a day roundtrip to work 4 or 5 days a week... no problems yet... guess cuz its still nice and cool up here in TX.
The real test is in Summer time bumper-to-bumper traffic. ------------------ '72 Super Cheyenne LWB

I drive mine 100 miles round trip, 5 days a week. It has never left me stranded, and I really like driving it. I give it a rest in July and August, because of no A/C.

I drive my '69 stepside everyday. (once in a while I give it a day off and take my '69 Chevelle)
Im not afraid to take it anywhere and any distance. It will be making it's annual 90+ mile trip to Carlisle this month. I wouldn't have it any other way! I love old stuff and hate the new. Heck, I just got a friendly wave from another stepside owner today. Still working on the '71 but can't wait to cruise with that big ol' honkin 4 speed! Damn, now I feel like going for a ride!

I thought that is why we bought these things. Just pulled about 9000 LBS up a steep dirt road. Spinning the poor tires all the way up. 2 wheel drive. Sent the poor furd to the bottom of the hill to lock in his hubs to attemp again. He finally made it but then went home to replace his clutch.

I drive our '72 K/5 to school everyday and to work. It is pretty much my everyday driver. I have to deal with the gas prices with the 4" lift and 35's I put 20 bucks in every two to three days. Sucks gas but it's the biggest one in the parking lot!

Well.......i bought my 71 GMC last spring and its all torn apart and it didn't have a motor anyway.....but....Last weekend I bought a 71 Chevy that does have a motor although the tags are expired and from another state I did drive it to work today...
but until I get tags and such and some carbureator work and some gas..I'm not going to drive it but after that look out.....I don't care what others think I think its beautiful....and I've had almost a year of looking at the other one wishing I could drive it.........

Just about every day. I also have a
Dakota R/T. As soon as the Chev is restored the R/T will go. The R/T is basically backup tranportation.

At about six miles to the gallon...I can hardly afford to drive it everyday. When the rear end conversion is finished I'll push 3:73 gears and that should make a big difference! Then I hope to drive it at least four times a week.
