I plan on keeping this car for a long time
It was a DD in Vegas but since I brought it back to UK it now comes out on nice days and at the weekend. Its cheap to insure (about $450 a year for a limited mileage policy) but with gas at $6 a gallon its not the most efficient commuter as my round trip to work is 50 miles a day.

I work on mine everyday, does that count? It's a car and was meant to be driven, not to sit around and rot in a garage.

Drive mine every day except Friday,apx 15 mi to work and back (but I usually take the "long" way).
Fridays I take the'62 Bug,because I go visit my 85 yr old Mom after work,and the Vette just can't negotiate her steep driveway.

Weekends for the most part. So far that is, I just got it in Jan. of 09.
If I was not so paranoid about parking lot dings and worse I would drive it more often. I know it is "just a car" but it took a long time to get it and I want it to last a long, long time.
