Do any of you guys ACTUALLY Drive your cars

You bet I drive my Yenko [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
After all, these things are still cars, not 'art'. What else are they good for if you don't take them out once in a while and exercise them?

Kevin Hand! You should be ashamed of yourself! The Chevelle and the Nova have been restored, and can be restored again if need be - so drive the wheels off of them! Yea I know you paid a lot of money for them, but it's all relative, so why cut yourself short of experiencing all there is to owning such cars? How many people can answer 'YES' when someone asks you 'is it real?' after you've just chirped through all 4 gears?

Best part about driving them is the stories you here about 'back in the day.'
This Chevelle was a local car and almost every time I drive it people come up to me with old stories about it. This pic is the original owner sitting in the car. He lives in the next town over. I was at a cruz nite there and he came up to me saying "hey that's my car." It was fun to have him there to answer the "is it real" questions.

Fortunately, our weather has been great this fall. We have taken the L79 out 2 or 3 times a week and blast through town. The Deuce also gets driven regularly. One of the shows last summer was a 200 mile round trip. Made a pass throught town in the Camaro last week.However due to the low miles and originality , I am hesitant to drive it much. Have driven it 2000 miles in the last 5 years. Jim

Now it's not a high dollar car but I drive mine. It's too much fun to just let it sit in the garage. Guess that is why I didn't opt for a frame off resto. If I could eventually afford to get a couple more cars I would like to do a frame off.

I guess asking Kevin for a ride in the Yenko Nova is out. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

My pacecar (not a supercar) but a great car, is a piece of American history. I will drive it only enough to keep it "juiced". I have 3 other Camaros that more than impress 99% of the population that are "expendable"...If one gets smashed or stolen so be it. bottom line is that we are mearly keepers of these cars and will be dead long before they rust to nothingness
