Our 2013 was light. Probably only did around 2000 or maybe 2500. Not sure what you mean by "...farther than your zip code."
57 Plymouth: 4000 Mile round trip to Ill and back and probably 750 miles local.
83 El Camino: 4000 Mile round trip to Il and back and 3000 Miles local give or take.
.
Slow year for me, just 20 short trips totaling 10 miles, 1/4 mile down, 1/4 mile back. Oh yeah, then a few more miles playing in the dirt, 10 laps in a non-winged sprinter!!!!
0, sitting in the shed waiting for repairs. :-(
I did about 40 in the Corvette since it isn't licensed right now, and 0 in the 40. I drove my 72 about 250 before tearing it apart again. :LOL:
Actually did about 50 in the old Chevy.. Taking it out tomorrow if the weather holds out.
Don't really know, but I'd say about 5-6000 in the '47 Ford, and about the same in the Morris Minor
But only 100 or so in the Cobra.
i pulled inderweed out of the shed with my tractor , does that count ????
Sure does Shine, That's farther than sum of the so-called hotrodders !
What did you mean, "...farther than your zip code", Don, just going far enough to get out of your home zip? That happens every time we go to town in a metro area......
I'd like a clarification on your statement, too!!!! Almost sounds like you could be looking down your nose at people who choose to stay closer to home?????Quote:

My '66 F100, which I'm also going to classify as a "Rod" of sorts gets 8-9000/yr as my daily driver. It definitely gets out of my zip code but haven't crossed the state line yet in the 5 years I've owned it but with the EFI 5.0/AOD transplant this last year, I feel a few road trips coming on....;)
Not pokin fun or lookin down my nose @ any1, just that I know a few that won't drive their car more than 10-20 miles from home as they are afraid something might happen to it.
I'll call them type "ZipCode Hotrodders.
Knew a few when I lived in AZ that would trailer their cars to Scottsdale/Phoenix for a function from Prescott.
It's was only 100 miles down the hill fir christ sake.
i hate sitting here and typing in a long winded reply then hitting the reply button and my post goes away ..i drive my stang about 25 miles on my favorite cruise lap but it never is more than 10 miles in any one direction from home .. i have had to walk home several times because of it .. the pintos are no problem .. i still cruise them in the dead of winter ..there is no one to show off in front of but the drive is still fun ...
Message deleted, I'll leave it with, No comment
Just over half as much as you this year, and a third of that was following your Greybeard 32 around. I gotta get a life.
Gee, my Mustang hasn't been more than 50 miles from home in 5 or 6 years, guess I qualify for the club!!! But if you wanna come up some Saturday night and play with me and the rest of the kids, come on!!!
PS--Most of "the games" start sometime after midnight, don't show up expecting a show and shine!!!! Oh yeah, when I take it to Sioux Falls (50 miles) on a Saturday to do some cruizin' (or whatever) it makes that trip in the trailer!!! Suppose I'm double qualified now!!!!---but it is a different zip code!!!!
Not Don, he's much too busy for that, he likes to DTPOOI, right Don?Quote:

Got 2 goin right now, a roadster and a coupe.
Last Sunday was the first real outing for my '62 Fairlane and we did around 130 miles round trip but I plan on adding to that, especially when the weekend Cruises kick back up and the weather improves some ! Gotta hellp get the grandson's '66 Stang wipers working so he can get it inspected and then I imagine we'll caravan to a lot of stuff this year - - - sure hope so.
Yep. I got in about 2 miles on the old Chevy today. Skies were clear with temps in the 40's so I warmed up the battery, checked the tires and brakes and took it for a spin. Felt good.. It's not on the road right now or I would have taken it farther
The first weekend I got my 40 I drove it out of it's zip code, made repairs, drove it through a few more zip codes, then pushed it part way to another. I put as many miles on it as I could until I couldn't stand all the hackery that was done to it and now it is a trailer queen. As in torn apart awaiting it's turn to get fixed. :LOL:
I drove my 46 Ford Tudor a little over 1,300 miles to Shows and cruises all over Arizona. **)
Probably around 1,000 miles, I need a Gear Venders Overdrive, it's geared too low for long trips, but I have a lot of fun with those gears!
Close to 250, 30 miles at a time.
Hope to vastly improve on that come spring!! :-)
I put a set of 5.13's in the Horse couple years back! Worthless on the highway but perfect on the 1/8 mile, and more then adequate on Saturday night!!! With the good old Nash 5 speed as soon as you launch you pull the handle for 2nd!!!! Ain't life great?????:D:D:DQuote:

I did almost 3000 miles on mine. I plan to do a lot more this year starting as soon as the weather breaks out of winter. So far I've only driven it in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. So I'd like to expand my interstate travels. There's some drives to Maryland and New York on my radar screen for this year and if I can work it in, up the coast to Massachusetts and take it on the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard to visit friends who live there and blast around some nice roads on that island.

Well,,I will class the 60 F100 as our ''on the road rod'' at the moment,since Lynda's Customline is being built.. We average 5000-6000 miles a year,or better..Done more than 45000 in the last seven years,,but,,I do use it as an everyday driver,,so I guess it gets used a fair bit..:cool:
As soon as this salt and crap goes away I plan to drive my 72 Chevy every day.
