 Up here in Canada the season is from April to November, i put 2500 miles on this year, hopefully next season i will at least double that number.

I'm guessing west coast if you've still got that thing on the road in Nov!    :D

I'm in Canada as well and peaking in at my first summer this year (bought my '68 last fall).  My goal is to do a few shows and put a few thousand on   :yesnod:

around 2 thousand miles a year. car shows and just crusing around in the summer on sunny days.

Not all on the Charger since I have more than 1 old car but I average 15-18k miles per year between them. An average week/weekend during the summer is about 250-400 miles for me.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

I need to keep track better but my 69 is my only car...so it gets driven a LOT, rain or shine.

I put about 1500 miles a year on the Challenger. My friend said if I didn't put 3000 on it this year. He's gonna put 1500 on it.  :rofl: :rofl:

I take mine out about 3 or 4 times a week and average about 5000 miles a year.  No bad weather in this country!! (state of Victoria)
Every day I take it out is a good day!

Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

Last summer something 1500 miles, it was the first summer when I owned this, so maybe next summer more  :drool5:

This is not my daily driver, I drive only for fun and only in good weather  :2thumbs:

I'd done around 7000 miles in nearly two years, never had to call a tow. Well, nearly once, then I replaced the points dizzy with electronic trickery , great fun long distance family cruiser  :2thumbs:

I'm amazed at the people that use it as a daily driver?  Wow, how cool is that.  Very!  I'm a average American classic car owner/user.  Winter weather cuts it down like now as it sits frozen in my garage but probably 2 to 3k a year.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I drove 500 miles last summer, Mostly to shows.
I hope this Year I have more time to go joy riding.

I drove mine a quarter mile last year!  More that I'd ever driven it before, hope to at least double that this summer.   :rofl:

I did over 5,000 miles in my Charger last year and will do over 6,000 miles on my vacation trip along this year.

As much as possible.  I'm an addict and look for reasons to roll it out.  I try to avoid the rain but I've decided not to worry too much about getting caught in it.  This is the NW after all.  All things considered, I'm guessing ~3K this year on the Charger.  :shruggy:

this year it was only about 700 miles, usually its about 900-1000 miles. Money was alittle tighter this year, so not as many shows to go to.  :(

Not sure how many per year so far, but since it's been done and tagged (April 2008), the odometer has just a tick over 5800 miles on it.

i love driving them and make sure to get them all straight to run well enough to not worry. i couldn't stand to see my car in a garage most of the time sitting there and only being enjoyed every now and again, the car is not my mistress haha, i will gladly show her off even if it's not a show car. pplus there's no excuse for me being that i'm in the south.

these cars are also a lot of money for me, unlike for a lot of people (i'm still young, still in school, i work a lot but i also have a kid, etc) sure, if i had the choice and more money to have a new dodge challenger, the charger would be used less (but not by much). driving it a lot, you find out fast what it needs, how half-assed previous restorations were or where corners were cut by people before on these cars. and those gremlins sometimes surface at the worst times but hey, that comes with the territory and is all a-okay, i still have a Charger, it gives me the ability to make it better, plus it allows me to take care of future issues.

About 3k a year between the two. Would love to drive on a daily basis but that's not a reality up here in the rust belt.
