Anyone else guilty of not starting up their cars

[ACUDANUT]

 I have a few I have not fired up in 2-3 years. I know, I know shame on me.

Not for that long!    You must have a barn full!  

The longest I go is about a month.

Edit - and the shortest about a day!

never fired mine for 9 years while i had it in storage one time & before i took it apart  ,  undone the rocker arms , to shut the valves , & poured oil in the bores ,  & would spin it over on the starter with plugs out ever couple of months though, oh drained all the gas also

[Tilar]

I generally start mine once a week other than the 68 Charger and it doesn't have an engine in it.  I have an 85 Charger that has the 2.2 that I backed into its current parking place but hasn't been run since probably 2002, and a 1985 LaBaron vert parked right beside it that hasn't ran in probably 15 years.

[1carcrazyguy]

I don't start any of mine, of course they don't have engines in them either.   

I finished my Dart in 2007.  I have not driven it since.       

[MoparManJim]

guilty as charge here. 

[Cooter]

YIKES! Guilty as charged here as well...My poor 'ol Dart has a 13 Year old set of M&H's on it that are dry rotted and it ain't seen the road in about a year...Damn, Now I'm going home and fire the ol girl up...

[LeadfootBob]

My poor 9C1 caprice hasn't been fired up in about a year and a half, no point though as the transmission is toast...

[CB]

Didn't fire up Lola in +2 months now.
I miss her purr 

[Charger-Bodie]

......And that is why Im content with only one old car. Hard to find the time for one let alone six like some of you punish yourselves with.

[G-man]

I havent even seen mine in 12 months (damn mechanics!)... does that count?

when they break its nice to have a back up

Punish....    Just add water, and they multiply.  

[moparstuart]

mine multiply like rabbits

Same here.  It started (again) in 2003-04 when I decided to get ONE car to redo.  Well one turned into 2, 2 to 4 and now, well it is just out of control.    The positive side is that at the rate I got the 1st car done it will only take me 84 more years to finish them.  What was I THINKING. 

[ACUDANUT]

 It's called Mopar fever, and I think we all tend to start on the next project and forget the others.  I also believed that Idol hands are the Devils workshop. (busy hands keep you out of trouble). AND BROKE.

My Charger hasn't been running for just about 11 years now. Never with the 383 though, it was the old 318. The Duster I haven't started for just over a month I think. I haven't driven it since July 12th. Then again, I haven't had that much time to go where it's being stored right now (my grandparent's). I was there today and contempting starting it but then it started raining.

[bull]

My engine is like 8 miles away. So yea, guilty.

[6pkrunner]

2006 didn't drive any at all. 2007 drove them a few hundred miles each. 2008 drove them more than the previous last 10 years combined. Haven't even started one this year. Depends on what else is on the plate I guess.

Hey Mike..........

Not any more concerning the topic.......... I frequently go out in the garage and just fire her up for the sake of firing her up and listen.... Oh, gotta get out and "Wow" the neighborhood with the new wing and all......

Hey Troy - I fell off the chair when I saw you finally got your winged wonder. You were probably one of the most patient guys I know waiting for that baby to come. Congrats!
And the neighborhood needs to see something like that. A hemi can easily hide under a hood, but a towel rack and beak draw tons of attention.
Again congrats on the little lady.

I start up and drive the challengers up so often I run them out of gas...most memorably was as an entire highschool woman's jogging team bounced by.
Its impossible to look cool when your car just backfired and quit in the middle of the street and you have to climb out the window because your door doesn't open while covered in dust and old headliner insulation to push it out off to the side.

[71ChallengeHer]

I didn't fire the Chally up for 5 weeks. I was filling in at work.     I started to have withdrawal.

D'oH thats funny stuff

[Ghoste]

That's your car's way of telling you not to mess with high school girls. 

[paironines]

I've fired up my R/T for the first time this year and drove it around. I just started my other 69 for the first time in 2.5 years. They're still fun but not as much fun as they used to be. Don't know if its my mood or the fact that I don't keep them at the house or what.

Haha Im 19 so I think it was just being a c-block lol.

[69charger2002]

i don't start mine near enough. i try to get out to where they are and crank them once every month or 2, but some get to 3-4 months before i realize i haven't ran them. i never have let one sit over a year on purpose.. my black 69 R/T just roared to life again after sitting for almost 3 years waiting it's turn to get a new 440 dropped in.
