It started out as a weekend car but now I drive it everyday. I can't help it, I'm driving my lifelong dream car. I plan to get two more, one for a drag car and one for the weekends. I got the fever bad! Take care and be safe!

Wow, DeeGee, at eight fifty a gallon, my DeeDee would become a TeeQue if I lived in England. (No offense to your Que, of course.)

Mine is a daily driver but I only go about 3 miles to the gym Mon thru Fri so less than 5K per year. It's 5 years old and has 19K miles on it. I still love driving it and smile the whole time.

My car is mostly a weekend warrior but I do drive it to work about once a week.
