At least 4 times a week. About 40 miles round trip to work. Some day I would like one for nice, and one for a daily driver. Darren

I alternate. I drive the 67 for a week or so then the 68 for a week or so then the 88 for a week or so then the 97 for a week or so. The 68 is the one I drive the most though. It is used for runs to the dump, home depot, etc.

I drove mine every day for about 16 years then I restored it, now it sits in the garage and collects dust. I get it out about once a week if I am in town.

I drive it to work 5 days a week, except in the summer when my bike is running (which now it is not). Once in a while when I have the time I get to go out in the dirt and play.

I drive the Longhorn everyday around the farm . . . usually with a ton or so of firewood, hay or some other farm related stuff - but I drive the Jag to & from work

I'm in the same shape as slam33 - my truck works every day, (& has for the past 24 years) so it's hard to get it in the shop to restore her. I plan to tear it down around December or January.

Daily. I'm going to have to arrange for a back-up when I finally get to do the body work next spring.

Daily driver, round trip to work is 52 miles, plus many extra miles shuttling two boys to football practices and church. And then there's all those trips to the gas station...

My '67 is a backup vehicle and steady work truck. It hauls loads of gravel, straw, topsoil, etc. for working around the house. I drive it to work frequently, although not every day - I also have to drop off and pick up my daughter at day care, so the lack of A/C on hot days and the tight quarters for a child seat make it less desirable. I just put in a new GM Goodwrench 350 with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty and I am hoping to get as much out of that warranty as I can, so I plan on doing several thousand miles per year.
