33.3 % of my seat time is in the 914.

Sometimes it is only once a week to keep things lubricated.
Sometimes it is every day for two weeks straight.
Long road trips are my favorite. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If by "drive" you mean "look at it in the garage on jackstands, shake my head and say 'someday'"... I drive it every day.



Ya me too. I'm just "dream driving." Maybe someday they'll be done.

Three, all projects. Someday one will be a daily driver.

I had a 914-6 from 1974 to 1978, it was my only car, I put about 45,000 miles on it.



That's very cool! You really get to know a car that way.

1973 1.7. 183,000 original miles.

100 miles a day since I got it about 3 months ago. I do plan on fixing my "winter car" and doing overdue repairs on the 914 when the weather is really crappy.

Every day, rain or shine!

Not as often as my wife! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
She drives 3 miles to work in it 2-3x a week and I drive 22 miles of awesome, twisty roads through the forest 2x a week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
On weekends, it does the occasional top-down wine cruise, kayak haul, or trip to the beach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The /6 get out 3-4 times a week during Spring, Summer and Fall. Only in rain or wet roads by miscalculation of weather.

The Bumblebee sees the light of day very seldom. Once every three months or so. It is blocked in the garage by the /6 and the cars in the drive way all need to be moved to get it out. Too time consuming and the /6 is easier to simply back out.

The /6 was dropped off at the shop today for a transmission/clutch issue and the Bumblebee will see some drive time until the /6 is back.

Edit: I went back and checked mileage on the /6. 22.5K miles in the last 9 years. I need to be driving it a lot more frequently than I currently am driving it. That averages 2.5K miles a year and that is not nearly enough.

I fire up Dads car every 2 weeks or so, just around town, mostly with the kids, never in the rain.

The second 914 (ABM /6) is meant to be more of the daily driver but it's non opped for now.

hi,

I am just about finished with the prep sanding and will be spraying the colour and

clear next week.. it will be driven after and before the salt here.. daily ...

although, I do plan on driving it the first good snow before they start salting...

even if I can only drive it on the side streets which are seldom plowed or salted.

driving in the snow is a must.......
