How often do you drive your C3?
Seeing as it's wintertime, I thought I'd ask how often you guys drive yours. I try to drive mine every day as long as the weathers nice. The only thing stopping me from always driving it is my insurance keeps me at 7500 miles a year.

Mine isn't my daily driver, I live in FL and I can't show up @ work with my shirt soaked in sweat (due to no A/C), but I drive it as often as possible, especially now that things have cooled off. I average about 100 miles a week on mine and I love every mile behind the wheel of my '69

Nowhere near often enough. I haven't kept track exactly but I'm sure no where near 7500 miles in the nine years I've owned it.

You’re doing a pretty wicked project though, along with living in Canada, weather can’t be as nice year round

I drive mine so often from April to November I lower the top in the Spring and don't put it back up until its time to put the cover on for the winter. (unless I get caught in the rain)
Ive come close to selling it a few times, but usually what stops me is Im reminded how often I drive it.

Kinda Funny, in the last 3 years, 10 miles. I been doing a on body restoration on my 1972 convertible.Working up in the radiator area. Working so much. Can’t get much done, but I see the light out of the tunnel. This spring.👍

I’ve put 25k miles on mine since Nov 09’, however the car has been down since April of this year for a resto. Hopefully it’ll be running by January. We pretty much drive all year long down here in Houston, at least on non rainy days.

I try to get it out at least once a month.
That will change after I complete the resto/mod.
With everything new I will trust it more.

I put just over 500 miles on my Vette this past year. It pretty much only gets driven when I take the hot young stripper wife out to dinner on Saturday nights.
