Never from November to April. After that a few times a week or on the weekends. Sometimes I go a week or two during the summer w/ out driving it. I put on 1,812 last year.

Every chance i get. And LOL at those guys that want to 'keep the miles down' but haven't driven them all year. Why keep the miles down if you plan to keep it forever, which obviously you do if you keep it in the garage for a year. My car is constantly half torn apart and i drive the **** out of it. It's a mustang and meant to be driven...thats how i see it
lol, keep the miles down..... I have 103,xxx on her. she likes the easy miles these days.

I drove mine today for the first time in like 4 months. Actually I just pulled it back 2 feet so I can brush all the snow off it (or should I say dig, there was a good 3 feet on it), then I pulled it back up 2 feet lol

I don't. It's broken and it's winter. I hope to drive the piss out of it when I get it running though.

Whenever the snow melts in March to whenever the snow comes in November. I usually log 12000kms(7.5k miles) a year on it, 2k-3.5km's are highway though. Simple terms, it's my DD except for winter.

I don't want holes in my floors, holes in my quarters, seats draggin the ground, so I don't use it to sling salt.

I also don't want door dings in it, scratches, shopping cart marks, and malicious keyings, so I don't use it to go to the grocery store.

I have the luxury of having more than one vehicle, and I take advatage of that. I don't tow trailer's with my Caliber, I don't race with my SD, and I don't sling salt with my Mustang.

Just some more examples of why I don't drive my car more often.

I drive mine everyday, and I will do that for every Mustang I ever own from now on.

When I owned my Bullitt, I only put about 20,000 miles on it over four years. Looking back, I wish I would have driven it more. I'm not knocking people that don't drive their Stangs that much, I'm just saying that you might regret it one day.

Mines daily driven, spring..summer..fall...winter.. Unless i physically can't when there's snow on the ground. Although i wish i had another car on occasion, because this city makes me hate driving this car for extended periods at a time. But being really low in a city with s**t roads and terrible drivers will do that. Miles are no excuse either.. i've got 147,xxx.. still goin strong. Well as strong as a nearly stock 5.0 can go. And if the engine ever gets hurt, well it's a damn good excuse for a rebuild. If it gets salty... I take it to a car wash. If it gets scratched... It builds character. Nothing will ever be perfect, it's the flaws that make em unique. In my mind, if i have the car i'm going to drive it. Even if i had another vehicle. They're made to be driven. I hate seeing cars just sit or riding on trailers.

I do hate not driving it. But I will buy a second mustang in the future. I have no sway bars, drag springs, 90/10 struts and skinnys up front. That is not fun to drive everyday. Especially in the snow and rain.

this is my only vehicle so i have no choice but to drive it daily. to work and back 5 days a week, which is only about a mile down the road.

i wanted to buy a shitty truck or soemthing just to get me around so i could put the cobra away for the winter, but i had to buy the new engine so i was screwed out of that plan.

when i get new paint sometime this summer, it will always be covered, or garaged, will never see rain or snow or road salt. but for now i have no choice but to drive it.
