I try to drive mine at least once a week, two is the longest I've gone without taking it around town or for a short highway drive. I'd like to drive it more, keep the fluids moving, but the price of gas and my 30 mile round trip to work would get pricey fast with the thirsty 455. Just wanted to see what you all do.

 

Mine is my DD but I'm 1/2 a mile from campus, so fuel eco. isn't a biggy

 

Everyday!!!

 

Once or twice a week as long as the sun is shining.

 

I don't have any other car, every day.

 

I drive Teepo as often as I can in the summer time! Usually 3-4 cruise in's a week, and shows on the weekend. I put 100 miles on her yesterday going to Alliance and back, and 60 some on her Saturday. I've put over a thousand miles on her since I got her out of the garage back in April!! I love to drive her!!!!

 

Everyday during the summer, spring and fall as long as weather permits. I didnt build her for the gas mileage!

 

Every day year round - sun, rain, snow she sees it all.

 

2x a month maybe. New England winters are bad, I keep her in the garage from november till april. Probably had 50-60 miles put on her this year (I know, awful).

But the car has had some problems that I'm in the process of trying to fix. Would drive it more, if I could.

 

All day erryday, with occasional 200+ mile jaunts and 1/4 mile increments.

 

Maybe twice a week, but well clear of the Malls and areas of congestion. Winter also comes early up here in Wisconsin.

 

Once or twice a week as long as the sun is shining. When I get the A/C working it will be more often.

 

Hey cutlass gal was you at the olds show in alliance sunday? I had my 98 out there, my buddy took his 81 cutlass, the one with the duct work hood scoop and primer grey stripes. It used to my cutlass, I called it the hillbilly hotrod

 

Not nearly enough.

 

Once or twice a week weather permiting of course. I just hit 81000 miles,its a # matching car so I try to keep the miles to a min and again I only take it out on nice days.

 

.....Hey cutlass gal was you at the olds show in alliance sunday?


Yep..... We were there! I just made 3 threads of pics!! You should have come over and introduced yourself!! Paul, "Car Designer" on our forum from Canada and his dad were there as well. Teepo won 3rd place in Class 9!!

 

I just saw the pics !! my 98 is in there with my wife sitting behind it, and my buddy's 81' green tu-tone cutty (hillbilly hotrod) is as well !! This was the first all olds show i've ever been too, it was almost too much to take in, it has like heaven , lol !! I should have figured a few of you guys would have been there. I thought my olds was pretty clean but there was alot of really nice cars there that put mine to shame. I'm a little shy but will have to introduce myself a little more next year

 

I wash mine up and take if for a spin every time I think the lawn needs some water. And so far its rained everytime.

 

....I'm a little shy but will have to introduce myself a little more next year

Well, yeah, lol! I could have introduced you to a few other members that were there. Did you meet or see Kurt... "W Machine" off of the forum? He was handing out flyers about the Wild About Cars site.

It was a great show, wasn't it?? Surrounded by all those beauties! My sister and I wandered up and down your row there a few times. God they were all beautiful!! Your car is very, very nice!!!!! Did you go over and meet Teepo, lol??

 

2010 = Maybe 1K-2K miles.
2011 = 0 miles , it's being completely customized with an LSX / T-56 6 speed
2012 = It will be my summer time daily driver.

Lexus DD will probably get sold once I get my AC installed in it.
Unless I do end up putting the Twin Turbo or Magnacharger setup together on it.

 

Thank you!! I'm sure I saw your car too, very nice as well ! I must have looked at all of them a few times, I was so overwheled by all those oldsmobiles in one place ! lol I was very surprised to see a 69' H/O too, the last time I saw a real one was about 20 years ago! Do they have the northeast show there every year?

 

Wow, most of you drive them quite a bit. I would like to start driving mine more. The few responses to this thread I read this morning before I left for work inspired me and I drove mine to work today. It was fun, mostly 65 - 70 mph cruising.

 

all day everyday here also. One main reason is to work in the motor i just rebuilt second reason is cause i am too lazy to fix the Crapice with its clutch fork....

 

usually twice a week but if money allows ill drive it to work as many times as i can. I drove it 4 days in a row once to work ., a 20 mile round trip on 5- 7 mpg gets expensive lol but its always well worth it

 

I drive mine when time permits as this is my busy season as a contractor. Maybe 2 times in a week if lucky. I sure do enjoy it when I can! It has been a hot summer up here in Mi., so I am still waiting to purchase the Classic Air system for mine. Maybe next year??? I have put about only 800 on her this summer.

 

Weather permitting,every chance I get.

If I remember correctly,last season about 3500 miles.

So far this year I think somewhere around 1500. Just put about 250 on it Saturday

 

i would drive mine much more if they weren't changing my roads over from pavement to gravel. maybe 800 miles a year.

 

Mine is my daily driver from April thru November unless it's broke. Which has been almost all year this year.

 

Whenever I can... 3 or 4 times a week if I don't go up to the lake... Last weekend I ran 4 tanks of gas through it with no real destination. Just enjoying the exhaust rumble.Drove it both days again this weekend. It's a whenever I need to run into town and dont need a truck deal.

 

Once or twice a week.

 

Yep. The show is always there. Or at least for the last 3 years that I've went, it's been there. It is overwhelming, I agree!! I just get high on Oldsmobiles when I'm there, lol!! Hope to meet you next year!!

There is the BOP coming up this Sunday, Sept. 4th over at Summit Racing in Tallmadge..... Hope the rain misses.... There were lots of beautiful Olds' there last year. I got a top 20 trophy, and my friend Carl with the beautiful blue Cutlass S got a top 5 or something like that!!

 

I think I am going to start taking mine to work at least once a week. It may get driven other times during the week also, to take my wife to the store etc...

The mileage does hurt sometimes, but it sure is fun. I think my driving style mysteriously changes when I get behind the wheel of the Olds, more gravity down by the accelerator pedal or something...

 

About 3500 miles a year all during the spring and summer months. About once a month when the roads are clear during the winter.
I do not mothball my car preferring to drive it on ocassion instead weather permitting.

 

aslong as the weather is good 4 or 5times a week usually....

 

That's cool, I should try to get my old man to dust off his 69' Goat and we can drive out there! I remember that blue cutlass S, pretty sweet ride, it looks just like one i saw that a guy owned in austintown. What time is the summit show and is there a reg. fee?

 

Mines a weekend driver. I only work 5 miles from home, so gas isn't an issue, but parking is... and I really don't care to leave it in harms way when I don't have to. I work 4/12's, so the car cover goes on Sunday night and comes off Friday morning... pulling that cover off on Friday morning is the highlight of my week!
