Post your pictures here and tell me how much you drive yours. I drive mine at least 54 miles, round trip to work Monday-Friday when the roads do not have ice on them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Attached Image

Not a daily driver but a weekender, I drive it as much as I can, never been on jack stands for more than a day. Definitely not a garage queen.

Excellent! That's what I want to see. When I took mine to the local car show. Had its share of daily use blems. I wish the cars shows had a daily drivers category! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My '74 2.0 which I'm afraid to put on jacks because it may never come down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Violet isnt an everyday drive as i only live a few minutes from work and it would take as long to warm her up as the drive, but she does come out every weekend and on my days off. Occasionally she sits outside my office and waits for me to finish work ....

My '74 1.8L with factory 2.0L wheels that I just installed with new tires thanks to ww914. She is a weekender and I take her to shows, though the latest heat wave she has been in the garage. I drive and maintain her now. Has been in the family since 74 when my father purchased her new. She is not driven in the rain anymore.

The 2.0, FI, Ruby 914 started out form the PO dark blue. After fixing the long and hellhole in "06, it was backed into in a parking lot in "07. That is when it became the Ruby 914.
For the most part the ruby car is a DD. I hate to say, rarely garage kept and 90% of the driving is with the top off. Ruby was kicked out of the garage because the fuses kept falling out.
Now, the garage kept calico WRX 914 has, at times, taken over as my DD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Semi daily driver 20 mile round trip to work and driving around town. Not even close to perfect but I do love driving it. Thunder storms every day have kept me from using it lately.

I drive mine to the office daily. About 90 miles round trip when I have to go into my office.

Customers love to see it in their parking lots.

I drive mine every day it doesn't rain and a few days it did rain.
It is only 12 miles to work, but I take her to the grocery store and my girfriends house.

We went to German Car Day at the Larz Anderson Museum a couple of weeks ago, took her to a big house party on Saturday and ran her in an AX on Sunday.

Like someone else said, I have a list of repairs (a little rust - jacking points and a small section in the rt frt wheelwell) planned, but I'm too busy driving her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Terrible AX car and no longer blue, but fun to drive and wonderful on the track and street. Lots of cross-country treks and driven almost daily... sometimes you gotta use the truck.

Love this thread, I thought I was the only one in this boat. Got stuff to do, but its fun to drive, I know when I start, its gonna be outta commission for awhile...

I don't drive it in the rain tho'.. I don't want to get rusty, and I don't want to get wet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
