Mine is a daily driver (42 miles one way to work, yeah it sucks) but it's taken care of and parked away from everyone else, except for this new guy that has a 01 Trans Am (runs 12.8's) so he is my inspiration for saving up for a supercharger! :punk:

I've owned my car for 3 1/2 weeks and already put 1200 miles on it. It won't take long for me to have a **** ton of miles, but if taken care of mechanically it'll still be like new!

My car is a nice weather daily driver. It doesn't see rain unless I get caught in it on a road trip and it sits in the garage for about 4 months out of the year during the winter. I won't take it out until they clean the salt and sand off the roads.

Mine's a DD, I would love to get another car, but I don't think another insurance payment would allow me too, lol. I want to be kind to my stang but it's just too tempting to not get on it every now and then. I'm saving up for a vortech blower. Basically in three years I'll be out of college and then will hopefully be able to afford a place with a garage. Then I'll buy another car. Until then, I'm not really worried about how many miles I put on my car, it'll be 100K+ by the time I'm out. Then I'll just drop in a new short block and some heads, make it a new engine.

Our school is currently undergoing construction which cuts the already shotred number of parking spots to an even shorter number. So to drive my stang I have two choices.

1. Wake up damn early to get the first spot where there is a ton of room.

2. Wake up late and park
a.) along the fence in a safe place...but not in a parking spot
b.) in the teachers parking lot...
either way angers the teachers and makes me happy :D

Needless to say, I either ride with my brother or go with option #2 :punk:

I'm going to a college thats 1,100 miles away from home, and I sure as hell won't be able to fly home being a college student, so I have no choice but to take my stang with me. The only thing is, its 2,200 miles round trip, so if I have three breaks, thats 6,600 miles on my car... NOT including my in-between milage.

But going back to the parking thing, yeah I'll probablly have to park it outside and weather, but ****.. I'll bring my car cover with me when its supposed to rain.

yeah but you're the one who bumped it

wow, back from the dead! ha ha ha.

No, I've never had that feeling about any of my stangs. Mostly because I've really only done the basic mods. I know it's my DD so I can't afford for it to be jacked up.

My car is for driving! I take it everywhere as long as it makes sense. I have better cars to take on long trips etc... I also store it for the winter. But, I don't worry about dings and regularly leave the top down when parked at places like Target etc.... Shit, the keys are either sitting on the seat or in the ignition most of the time when at the house. My kids are allowed to eat it in etc......life is too short.....the car is meant to be used and enjoyed.

I am fortunate that I live and work in a place where crime is not an issue. I live in a house with a garage and at work (I drive it about one day per week in the summer to work), it gets parked in a private parking garage (that's what $130/month gets you - lol).
