How much did you drive your G-body this year?

[cdg1984]

Everyday 😀
Probably put 4-5,000 miles on it so far this year, that's allot of juice with a 455...

Weekly.... Usually a few miles at a time.... 1/8th mile down the track.... 1/8th mile back and occasionally a 1/4 at a time. With an occasional drive to a local cruise gathering.

Probably around 1,000 miles, mostly to sort it out. This includes one night of Pizza Delivery when the battery went dead in my truck and I didn't have time to go buy a replacement. So far, I am still trying to sort it out, but my total lack of disposable income right now has put it on hold. Right now, the formerly disposable income is going towards saving for my new back porch roof. I'm about $500 away from it, and after that I can get back to the car. Sadly though, it will probably go up for sale when it is finally sorted as I am facing some tough decisions in the next year. I need to go to school full time if I am to ever finish it, and I can't do that without moving back home. My parents live in a very strict HOA community, so I won't be able to work on it for a few years. Rather than let it sit in storage and deteriorate, I will probably sell it and move on. New projects will await me once I finally get settled in a new career. As for now, I will be putting my house on the market in the late spring and selling all three of my vehicles. I'll be going down to a single new economy car and a bedroom in my parents house. That way, I don't have to think about anything but school and sorting out the most important project of them all: My life. I will still be around here to offer advice if needed; I just won't have any project cars for a few years.

you have a over drive transmission buy a cheap 7.5 with stock gears or even put a 305 in it ,it wont use that much gas that way as long you have the body your set , and keep what you built ,finish the details on the looks of the car and im sure no one will say anything parked at your parents house...just a idea to help you keep your car

About 4000 since This summer. Average 22 going 55. 19MPG going 75. Only good thing about a 2.41 rear gear ratio.

I start it up and pull it out of the shop every few weeks. I only actually drove it 26 miles - BBQ at my parents house.

My Regal has been on jackstands for 372 days.

It's pretty scary that you're tracking it this closely...

I took a trip to Lebanon Valley Raceway in May, about 100 miles each way. And maybe a couple hundred more over the rest of the season. In total, about twice as much as last year.

i wish i knew more people around me that liked g body cars like i do, it would be nice to go cruise with them sometimes, anyone around southern wisconsin?

 

[Tuggy24g]

maybe at most 600 miles. I been working on my El Camino most of the summer so not much driving has been done. Also like other people say my speedo does not work so I am just guessing.

I have an 83 GP some of you may have seen,
it gave me a hord of problems this year. Big leak from the firewall (still to be located) rotted my carpet and destroyed the floors. I also wasted a month refinishing my wheels. And when I got my slicks, and finally got them out to the track, I blew the valve train. List goes on...

So, all in all, my wonderful car was not so wonderful to me this summer, and I probably only drove 400km...
