How many people don't drive their cobras enough

[testorossa1989]

A serious question. I've had mine going on 8 years in my early 20s and now everyone I used to cruise with have gotten older and decided to get married and settled into a family. This resulted in me taking my car out maybe 4 times a year if that. How much do you guys drive your car or don't drive them enough?

I drive mine a few miles once a year. I think I have put well under 500 miles on it since 2007.

I like to drive mine on nice days but I've gone only a few hundred miles in the last year as I have a 7 month old and choose to spend my nights and weekends with her instead. I plan to get it out a lot more when I can take her with me in the car, I have told my wife that my daughter will be seeing boost before she turns 1.

Bought my car is 2005 with 10,500 miles on it. Now it has slighlty over 22k. Last year I put 1 mile on it. This year it hasnt been out of the garage.

Yep, I barely drive mine. I got my Vert in April of 16 with 75K miles on it. When I first got it I did a lot of work to it in order to get it up to my standard. After that I parked it in my car port and covered it. Car has just over 76K miles on it now.

My coupe I got it in 07 with 27K on the clock. It has 46K on it now. The math on that is 19K over 11 years. That equals just over 1700 miles per year.

My Roush is even worse. I bought it new in 02 with 1700 miles on it because it was a demo car for Roush. It only has 7450 miles on it now. My brother used to be a Texas vehicle inspector. He told me one time I only drove it 140 miles over the course of a year.

I know a lot of people say drive it like you stole it, but I like to preserve my vehicles. I enjoy them my way, but prefer to keep the miles off of them .....

Bought mine about 3 years ago. Had 21,700 then and now it sits with 22,500. Garage queen!

Picked up mine in 13' with 31k, she got 50k now

Drove my Roush a total of 120 miles last year. It might have 15 miles on it this year. Rear end is off center again; the suspension must’ve finally settled after the lowering springs install. GT has maybe 100 miles on it this year; isn’t on the road now due to the original 11 (or 12) year old tires that are dry rotted to shit. Mach 1 is still under restoration.
I drive them when I want to drive them, and when it’s nice.


Pick your poison.

I think "enough" is subjective. Some people are fine with putting a few miles on in a year. Where others drive their car every day. I believe I'm in between. I'll drive mine randomly to the store or work. Or just for fun. I bought it with 97k in 2015 and it now has 111k. But that's what I bought it for. Some enjoy just owning it and keeping it clean.

I've had the Cobra for 14.5 years. I average a little over 400 miles a year, during the Spring, Summer and Fall. I have another car and a truck for domestic duties, so the Cobra is strictly for enjoyment.

Hasn’t left the garage in 2 years

My biggest battle I have is starting it enough to stir the corn a bit and flat spots in the tires. 7 years ago I drove it all the time. Now, I take it about 2-400 miles including going to get a sticker.

I average about 1k miles a year. Last year was less than that with Grandpa in declining health and family as well. It didn’t get driven as much. I put like 800 on it driving it back from VA to OH when I got it in 2013.

I bought the convertible on 10/15 with 2777 miles. Sold it in 3/18 with 4904 miles. In 29 months, I put on 2127 miles. The car gets stored from Nov through April.

I bought the coupe on 5/18 with 14,593 miles and I just got it inspected this morning and it has 14,733 miles. I put on 140 miles so far.

Like others, I have a Pathfinder for the winter and my daily driver is a GS350 so the Mustang is a toy I drive once in a while.
