How often do you drive your vintage Z?

[Hardway]

I bet I don't put 500 miles a year on my 240z.  I primarily take it out to Cars and Coffee and other local shows and then drive it back home.  I never daily drive it because I don't want to roll in to work smelling like gas and oil, only if ever so slightly.  I have a Scion FR-S that has been my daily driver for the past 3 years but it's lease is up next month and I will be in a 1999 Camry V6 XLE.  Nothing exciting for sure but comfy, looks decent, reliable on all fronts, and more importantly it is paid for!

The only problem I have is that it's a 46 year old car ( and it's getting pretty rare, more each year ) and driving in today's dense and much faster traffic, makes me a bit sweaty in the hands and nervous sometimes, constantly looking ahead on what other drivers are doing..., because there are alot of reckless drivers on the road these days.   I have to say that when I take it out for a cruise, i'd rather drive the country roads or at least stay away from dense traffic/cities.

Well

Project 6/70 hasn't been driven since October 2005, that's when it had a main harness fire. Project 3/72, (see photo album) although it may not be a daily driver it will get plenty of miles. I strongly agree that these cars, or any car for that matter need to be driven. I never beat on any car I've owed so no need to start now. I can't wait for the long SoCal trip. After the expense and time involved I just can't see letting it sit.

Currently getting fresh metal where needed

Drive mine almost every evening in the summer. The mountain roads in Western NC are perfect. The only problem is I have no engine sine January. Hoping Dave Rebello will ship this coming week. Engine is dyno' and finished. Just waiting on a engine shipping crate to get to Dave for shipping
