ilmor Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Driving to work on average about 1 day / week, then of course I drive it a little on weekends whenever I can, usually in running errands, etc....but sometimes I'll just go for "a drive".

sdear Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Drive mine every single day ! :D The extra walking that I do when I have to park it in Eygpt hasn't hurt me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Weekend driver the traffic in MD is really bad during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Every day. Although I AM looking for an SUV to drive when the snow hits. I've had manual transmissions for years, and even living in Long Island (famous for traffic), I wouldn't have it any other way. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baronmeister Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've got the same problem as 07SHELBY GT, a 37 mile commute (each way), so as long as the weather stays nice it gets to make the trip once, maybe twice, a week. But, after I get home and on the weekends, it is not sitting home waiting to go out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoDakMac Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am afraid that my Shelby will lead a rather pampered life. Since I am retired after 37 years of going to work everyday, I do not have a daily commute. So, the car only gets to go out when the sun is shinning and its master needs a “Shelby fix.” We have very little traffic but sufficient numbers of those pesky troopers waiting to write an old guy a ticket. We do however have fun in those lower gears. It will be sequestered for the winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby-Don Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 usually 2-3 times a week if the weather is nice, although it will be parked during the winter because of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say , Buy your own then, Cause im drivin the crap out of this one! Buy your own!!!. Now thats funny! Once, twice a week for me, Tuesday night dinner with the kids (100 miles round trip) and at least once each weekend. I did put 1200 on her in 10 days for vacation into Mass/RI. Snow & the junk they throw on the roads to combat ice will keep her in the garage over the Winter..... .....minus the occasional blast ......got to keep the hair on the back of my neck guessing.

Crucible Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Everyday and the excitement never ends as I get in and fire up that engine. I'll probably drive the SUV if the weather gets nasty here in Tulsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywickedshelby Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Anybody driving their's in the rain? Mine saw a drizzle the night I picked her up.....never driven in the rain yet. And I forgot to mention, its only 4 miles to work, mostly highway, so driving it to the office isnt really worth it, 5 minutes in the car, hours worrying about some jemoke giving me a door ding!

07shelbygt Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Mine has never seen rain. It is now up on jack stands for the winter. Kind of depressing. Only 1,000 miles on mine and I have had it since January 29th. It's all Mark LT probably until June or my wife's Edge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965coupe Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's all Mark LT probably until June or my wife's Edge... I'd be happy with those as alternatives... B) My only alternative is an F350 dually... Luckily it's a diesel, but it still costs me over $70/week for fuel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT ShuttleGuy Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Anybody driving their's in the rain? Every day driver- but not too much, 5 miles to/from work. And, like Fatboy and the mailman in rain, snow, sleet, sun, etc. Yes, Houston has seen snow (well, a few inches back in 2004). There is the occasional gulley washer that floods many of the roads around my area. Those I'll either avoid or just wait out. Bad part is that I don't really drive it as much as I'd like on weekends. That's usually reserved for our suburban as our weekend driving normally involves more passengers than the Shelby can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT2167 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I suffer from the long work commute also (33 miles one way), but I try to claim 1 day per week, I do drive it on the weekends looking for "trouble". :D No rain or snow for my Shelby....she lives, and will continue to live, a pampered life..........
