If you Daily Drive it, well, that's awesome, but for the rest of us that use another vehicle for a daily driver: How often or much do you drive your Foxbody? Any reason behind it?

I haven't driven mine in almost two weeks. So hot lately along with high gas prices really puts a damper on it. On the days off I have, seems it rains or something. Plus a few issues. It's an automotic, and I need to complete a few things. This spring I was driving it all the time. Maybe I will in the fall. I think I drove it more in the winter.

Me every weeknd that I can! I have a/c so it's not too bad.. But currently I'm using mine more offten cuz my dd broke down :-( ... But I only drive mine IF I need to go anywhere.. Other than that, evey weeknd for me :)
 
weekends and on a occasional nice day for me...doesnt leave the garage much if its raining ..i plan on hiting up some more car shows during the week though (weather permitted) ive had the new motor done for a lil over a year now and have almost 700 miles on it..its stored away for winters also
 
i have had mine in working order since september 2010. I used to drive it every chance I got untill about two months ago. I changed the intake from stock 5.0 gt to a gt 40 intake and have had problems with idle ever since. I still drive it every weekend.
 
When the weather's decent, I try to drive at least one of them every weekend. During The Season, we do something car-related with our friends about every other weekend. During the winter, I'll take one out if it's not raining. I don't drive them to work, because I work in the city and parking is horrible.
 
Stock 1989 SSP LX coupe (105k original miles) — I drive it to local car shows most weekends from May through September. I would guess about 200 miles per year total.

Stock 1990 LX 5.0 convertible (49k original miles, and will be my daughter's in 4 years) — I drive it daily when no rain is forecast (never have the roof up) from April to November when it goes into storage. I would guess about 1,000 miles per year total.

Modified 1986 GT 5.0 convertible (34k original owner miles) — put it on the storage lift at the cabin last September and intend on not driving it all for a few years (will start it every few months to keep the Stabil circulating though).
 
1 or 2 times a week when it's nice out. Usually just around town. The Chicago heat doesn't bother me b/c my A/C blows ice cold. But I don't like leaving my car sitting out too long in direct sun so it gets back in the garage pretty quick unless if I'm working on it.
 
I don't see the sense in having a toy car and not driving it. My philosophy is "if the sun's shining, it's what I'm driving". I don't drive it in the rain or snow, but other than that I absolutely drive the dog piss out of my car. I easily put more miles on the Stang in the summer time than I do my '06 Fusion. I've even contemplated putting a bike rack on the Mustang so I can drive it on days that I want to mountain bike after work.
