Default how oftin do you drive your 911??

i drive mine every day rain sleet snow sunny you name it ive been there, and yes mudd too but thats another story. but i guess i really only drive mine every day cuz im probly a good bit younger then most people here or usually most people i meet that are into the older 911 are my age.

i could drive my parents old van me and my dad share it as a beater but he chooses to drive his 911 every day cuz he said its just so much fun (he has a 996)

so how oftin do you all drive and do you limit it to certin weather conditions?? i pefer sunny or snow, rain is boring the snow was a blast

I drive the 911 daily (especially since selling my 95 SHO), but I'm looking into a 2nd car as winter approaches and fuel prices continue to soar. I figure a nice 85.5-up 944 4-banger will fit the bill...

I drive mine on weekends mainly. I'd drive it to work more often but the traffic is mainly bumper to bumper on the interstate around the city--not much fun in any car. My Audi A4 does a pretty good job at that tho.

I drive mine about 3 times a month now...When I first bought in back in '97 i used it as my daily driver, mainly because i loved it so much...and it's not that i don't like driving it as much today, but i now have a 2 year old boy, so it makes it a little harder. I have a Audi A6 Wagon and my wife has a A6 sedan that we now use as our daily drivers.

About 2,500-3,000 miles a year...mainly to/from and on the track. So I don't drive it much, but when I drive it, I really drive it!

I live in Ellicott City...there are some country roads, but usually tent to be long bits of straights followed by blind corners and turns...not the ideal driving conditions. I'll need to check out these roads you speak of.
I’ve driven to O.C. plenty of times…I almost can’t think of a more boring drive – LOL…not to mention how long it takes.

see im kinda odd, i enjoy driving at night, and i like driving on wide empty roads. so thats why i have always liked my drives to the beach just find cars on the way that wanna go the speed i do and drive.

as for the roads well im working on my car today at work, this damn rain is messing with it soo bad but i should have it back to running order soon. so just find a date when you and maybe some other people wanna go for a drive we can go through some of the roads.
