I try to narrow it down to weekends and nice days for driving my 88. Got her in 07 after I graduated.

I drive it everywhere. I'll make a special trip into town just to get bottle of pop or something just to drive it. Sometimes i wont even have anywhere to go, ill just leave, drive around for a while, and come back home. Driving in the winter is kind of a ***** though. This last one wasnt so bad, but the year before when i was in Iowa was horrible... mostly ice.

Once i hit a patch of ice, did a 180 across the median onto the oncoming road and back over stopping on one of those cross sections only cops are supposed to use. Scared the **** outta me and was fun all at the same time.

I drive mine everywhere no matter what in whatever weather. I drive it to and from the track (about a 30 minute trip from my house), never been trailered to the track, never will. Me and the wife will go to the movies and take the car, hell we go to the grocery store quite a bit with it, if my son is at the inlaws while we go I just fold down the rear seat and walla that much more space for the groceries. Wow, I must be at that point in my life where I'm more impressed with going to get groceries than taking it to the track lol.

hmm i love this question. I drove my mustang everywhere for the first five thousand miles since i bought it last year and well now it just sits and new parts keep collectin to it and tons of money getting dumped into a car that is 2.5 hours away from me(college student with 3 cars at age 19-yes im a workaholic with about 3 grand invested in my stang and its not even paid for yet, but the other 2 are! lol..

Let's see it sees about 3 miles of gravel unforunately when i take it home. I've driven in the winter because we all know takin out a rear wheel drive in the winter is play time. Technically my only transportation at the time seein how my other daily driver was broken down.. the mustang kinda had a work out muddin up hill on a really really rainy day(Gravel road that gets really shitty when rained on..kidna sad but that 5.0 powerhoused second gear about 4500 rpms all the way up a very steep muddy hill(yea pretty sure i woke up half the neighborhood with my exhaust lol ).Car shows..driving under bridges..aww the tone is so awesome when u accelerate. or down town between buildings it just echos P.S. the muddin was before i got the new tires and rims. and yea i had like mud/wet dirt up to my door handle lol..she definately got down and dirty and won the battle with the mud-but she did get a couple buckets of water to rinse it off..then a good 3 hour bath the next day when the sun was nice and hot out.

My Buddy got a v6 daily driver and hes takin it on a LEVEL B road that was fine at first but over the hill was a shitty bumpy ass treterous road that we took at 35 mph when we came over that hill and one those times we thought we knocked off the exhaust system lol..but its still there surprisingly

I messed up when I got mine, I drove it none stop at first then grabbed a couple books and started ordering parts left and right, now I can only drive it at the drag strip, so I recently got another notchback, wanting to build that daily driving 5 speed car again. (maybe a few bolt ons)
Don't tell the wife I said that

I take it out and drive it a few times a month. I won't park it in parking lots or near anything so I really dont go anywhere in it. Mine is just a toy, honestly it's been setting in the garage for atleast 3 weeks without even starting it. Damn I work too much!!

Mine are mainly used on sunny days. My 92 doesn't have wipers and isn't much fun in the rain anyway It CAN be driven anywhere. My Roush is like a Lincoln with the nice leather, A/C, and cruise control... plus, it turns and stops well. I drive it everywhere.

Last year, I put 2k miles on the 92 and 4k on my Roush

I would be more than happy to take those babies out and stretch their legs for you!!!

Mine is driven year 'round to work and school. My stock rims have snow tires for when I have to trek through feet of Michigan snow in the winter.
