...if any?
My motor is pretty tame compared to most on here (heads, cam, boltons, no cats) which pretty much makes it a summer-only street car. Anthony's car is probably the most aggressive street-driven one that I've seen (in person at least). How about you guys? Edit -- I put on a little under 5K a year (April to September). |

... with the exception of pulling it out of the garage to load up onto the trailer, it don't really see any 'street' time. And with the Rear Plate it's sporting, it's easy to spot.

Mine see's very little now.
I have two kids to tote back and forth to school, so it is much easier in my truck. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Mine will see as much as it can on weekends and evenings during the summer months. Right now it isn't that bad..once the cage is done and some body work started. Then it should be a head turner, it just sounds funny now (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Besides its way to interesting to see people's faces not to drive it on the street (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I drive the sadistic thing everywhere but to work. In the beginning I didn't want to take it anywhere, for fear of rock chips and scratches on the paint. After running over more cones in auto-x and scratching up the sides, bottom, front, and rock chipping the back 1/4 panels from Hoosiers burning out at the drag strip, and catching rock chips from the 10 million gravel trucks in Texas, I gave up on trying to keep it perfect.
What fun are you guys having that put NO street time on these things? Racing once a month isn't enough for me. Going out every weekend and racing once a month still isn't enough fun time either. Ah but you know us young punks, I would daily drive Lous World Challenge Corvette if I owned it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE What fun are you guys having that put NO street time on these things? Racing once a month isn't enough for me. At this point, nothing would feel like too much. The problem is money!! I have to have a tow vehicle, so for the time being it means the tow vehicle has to double as my street car. |

My car is pretty streetable, but I only drive it once or twice a month outside of an event. I drive it more in the warm, but not hot or cold, months.

Probably around 8-10K this year. Its been as much as 35K in the past. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) The roads in this town are too beatup to be driving around on w/ a droped car and stiff springs plus I spend so much time driving from Austin to San Marcos for school that my front bumper looks like its been sandblasted.

Mine is a daily driver for most of the year. However, the pre-emptive salt spray they put on the roads now anytime it MIGHT get cold keeps me from driving it as much in the winter now.

Well I did buy this car to drive. I will be a nice weather car to a point. Stored from first snow till it melts. I would say normal miles 5,000 a yr. But this yr is special, in a month aprox 9,000 miles, while the bulk of the miles 7,500 of them come in just 9 days!!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . John
