How many days a week do you drive an Oldsmobile?

Knowing everyone here has cars of different quality, age, weather to deal with, etc. I was just curious how many days you find yourself behind the wheel of an Oldsmobile (one or multiple cars).

For me, I do use my 83 to drive to the train for work, other short distances, and just for fun where I would answer about 3 days a week for me on average. I've had my car for 10 months and have put about 2,200 miles on it in that time.

It's my one Oldsmobile and I love it although I would also love to have a 71 to 75 Delta convertible at some point in the future.

The olds gets driven to work 3 maybe 4 days a week. But I only work 3 blocks away. hahahaha. But I do get a 1hr lunch so I usually take a drive and go grab a bite. 2 weeks ago I put on 60 miles on a thu. night hitting a local cruise night., well local to my old stomping grounds 30 miles from home. Then there is some usual drag racing in there at the local track.

Holy crap! Several years ago I was daily driving the Cutlass, to work every day, grocery store, errands, cruising, whatever, and still put only 4500 miles per year on it. Nowdays it stays in the garage all summer until the temp drops below 100, then through the winter I regularly drive it to work a couple times a week, grocery store, etc.

The weather has been junk up here in Michigan this year! I try to drive Alero one week and then Cutlass the other either to work or car shows. So once a week, until the bad weather sets in for the winter.

All of them. Except for my truck (with 300,000 miles on it), all we own are Oldsmobiles. The newest are the 1985 Deltas, and those are daily drivers for both my wife and myself.

The Bravada daily, the '57 98 on the weekend. The 442's are on hiatus until I finish my around the house and yard projects. The 442 convert reassembly, when I get up a lot of ambition!

'72 U code Supreme at least twice a week. (Weather permitting of course). Usually to work on Saturdays and out for a drive on Wednesdays...matter of fact, getting ready to fire it up shortly 😀

Every day year around. I have two, kind of nice to have a spare vehicle. Sadly these aren't worth much but on the bright side I can afford lots of them. ~BOB

Depends, I try and get the old girl out of the garage at least once a week for a show or get together. If I just go to town it's over 50 miles round trip, anymore than that and double it. Unfortunately I have been working lately and missing shows.. Then there is the Miata. It sure sucks up the Old's time and I'm using it to go back and forth, chase parts, haul darolac renters and run to the cars and coffee on weekends at 30 mpg. To many cars too much fun..... Tedd

Wrong scale for me. Try days a decade. Too many projects in front of it, though those projects are getting done.

Since I retired in 2013, 3 or 4 times a week just joy riding or running an errand here in there. From 09 to 2013 everyday to work, it was my daily.

Sometimes 7 days a week. The 70 is my daily driver. My daughter drives the 88 and I plan on taking it on a 5 hour round trip.

As often as I can. Ran to meet up with my son at Scout camp in RI then across 90 a few days later to my Dad's cabin in the Adirondack Mountains.
