Since the first weekend of November, I have driven my Trans AM a grand total of 13 miles ...
Most of that was shuttling it around the driveway and garage ... |

I've driven mine about 16 feet in the last two months. That was 8 mildly-aggressive feet back, and 8 mildly-aggresive feet forward, bouncing it back up onto my full-length wooden ramps (my stack-of-2x12s poor man's lift) to settle the rear springs and recheck the height (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think I'm about even w/ you on use of the camaro. I try to drive it once I see the brake rotors have taken on a nice new surface of rust. Just can't bring myself to sell it right now.

Mitch... since the MSR event we did, my car has been driven exactly ZERO miles. I have cranked it and moved it out of my way in the shop once. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
So I think I have you beat on low miles. |

(ducking) As I look out the window here on the 11th floor in downtown Columbus, OH it's snowing lightly. It's a good thing you're far away.....

Well so much for rubbing it in. It has rained so hard that we have 2 feet (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) of water on the streets! The car allmost didn't make it home! So much for the wet opti theory (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Oh it's still 60deg's (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

how far is your driveway from your garage ?
maybe in the end of the cowboy field, you have an old barn used as a garage... could make a good 1/4 mile everytime you bring it to driveway... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) :leaving: mmmm... I drove my car in november... stored it the last day of november actually. ever since, haven't even washed it for hibernation (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) so 0mm since last day of November. going on a 400 miles course next weekend, though (trailered) |

It would cost a fortune, though, and I don't really want to own that much pavement. However, my cars absolutely do NOT go in the barn. I'm not sure why it's still standing, but nothing delicate goes inside (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) There isn't quite room for a straight quarter, and even if there was the stop at the end would be brutal.

Got mine insured yesterday and went driving around logging data on the laptop with the girlfriend.
Nothing like pulling into the gas station with graphics on all 4 corners of the car, opened headers, idling at 600 rpm, no windows, no door handles, no parking brake... good times. I predict one week before I get pulled over. |

I have driven your T/A twice since November Mitch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
The first time was from the shop to the house driveway, and the second was putting it back in the shop. How many miles are on that new motor? |

QUOTE (Formula WS6 @ Mar 5 2005, 07:36 PM) pavement!? who needs pavement, make a rally course in that field My MGB actually does pretty good in the field. It's a '77, and in '74 MG addressed the new federal bumper height requirements by raising the whole car. That's also when they added lot of extra rubber and steel to the bumpers. I know this will come as a shock, but the Camaro isn't very capable offroad. Even ignoring the ground clearance, the limited suspension travel doesn't cut it. I do cut through the field sometimes if the driveway is blocked, but I stay on the smoothest section and I don't stop until I get back to the driveway. Actually, though, the UE TA greatly improved the damp-grass-hill-climb capability (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
