How often do you drive your Charger?

[Wolfie]

I was just wondering how often you all drive your Chargers, and if you mainly drive them for a sunday cruise, or to work,etc.
I ask because i sometimes feel i should be driving mine more - but living in L.A., with traffic and crappy parking, sometimes taking my other little beater car seems like a more viable option. 

[b5blue]

Never less than 1 time a week. Later this year back to daily driver...working on body repairs. 

[MoparMotel]

I drive it about once every two weeks. Usually busy on the weekends and kind of forget to drive it. Right now it's down for 7 weeks getting a new dimmer switch, headlight switch, and waiting for the original Carter 4401 to get back from Jeff at Old Carb Doc in North Carolina.

  Clearly you need another beater like me to fit that bill......

(one of them nearly wkly  )

I drive my Chargers about between 4-5 days a week. I live in a small town and love taking them out on the back roads. Driving my 68 today.

I have been Daily driving my 69 charger General Lee for 25 years now - I have had my share of  good and bad times but i have had a blast -i cant see myself driving any other car

[bakerhillpins]

Not often enough....     In storage right now so 0 times a week at the moment. Last summer after, I got her, I tried to find any excuse I could to take it out. I need to find a way to buy gasoline in bulk.   

It's so freaking awesome to drive around in that thing my face hurts from smiling so much. 

[nelson_audet]

any time when i can...in the summer, 15 april to 15 november...

[1969chargerrtse]

For a classic, a lot.  My thought is I can't take it with me so I'm gonna use all I want.

  Good for you, lucky guy, clearly I need to step up my "A" game, I am slacking.... (although I would forcast the wife recognizing my gas bill within a month for my 80 mile round trip to work in my gas sipping 69 )

[ChgrSteve67]

I drive it more during the summer than the winter months.
I did almost 10k miles last year.

I see you put yours up for sale.. Are you trying to upgrade?

Daily driving a Charger would be pretty cool, 

Heh, Mine is also 88mi a day as well.    Want to take it in but Ill have to take a second job UGH.

[nvrbdn]

its been with me for 14 years. i drove it twice after i got it and pulled the motor and started working on it. when i put the new motor in it i drove it twice in the neighborhood and pulled the motor finding the timing chain was the problem. last year the car only left the garage being pushed. it now is running and will cruise this year. finally. so ask me again next year and my answer will be better.

[c1971ace]

I maybe have put 100 miles on mine last year. Been parked and covered since October. Hopefully come mid-March i will uncover it and start driving a little more. I really want to add some miles to the 37k on the odometer this year!!

yes i ll put it on the sale section. i am not sure wich move  i will do if i sell it. I have a couple car in my mind or perhaps stop for a time the hobby...

[nelson_audet]

and with the economy right now, i dont think i will find a buyer for my RT. It is really hard to find a buyer of a 36 000$ car right now in this economy.
So i am not in ruch with that.

i find a buyer good, i don t find a buyer it is also good.

[Fred]

I take mine out about 2 or 3 times a week and average about 5000 miles a year.  The weather's pretty good all year round here.
She's not the daily driver, just the fun car. She makes me happy. ( I think I'll keep her!) 

[Darkman]

I've never driven mine...she's a trailer queen

you be surprised what people say for justification FOR NOT driving their classic charger.

The only time i dont drive my charger is when i dont have gas money.  Otherwise i drive it every sunny day!

I admit gas prices going up will have me using it less, but just a little less.  I only use it for short drives and errands anyway.  But I do  a lot of those.

[nelson_audet]

its not 1.40 for 1 galon but for 1 litters....for me, i will drove it less for summer 2012 ..2 reason
1 gas price
2 my new son...i will pass more time with my son ibstead of my rt, it is my first son

[Fred]

Congrats to you. teach him well. 

[redgum78]

A couple of times a week on average.
I would drive it a lot more with the kids and wife if it wasn't such a pain to swap the kids car seats out of the wifes car and into the Charger!

[dodgey68]

NOT ENOUGH , i need a ute for work, the charger is not a good ute

[Fred]

I've got the solution Dan...................buy a set for the charger. 

[RGA]

I alternate between my truck and the charger during the week. Drive it on weekend unless I need to haul something (other than ass). One thing thats been bugging me latley it my choke gets stuck on high idle somtimes, I never think about it when I'm working on her. It sucks having to pull over on the way to work in the cold to pull the air cleaner off and un-stick the choke so my idle will drop down. Other than that I love it.

[charger01]

Lemme see, I got it road worthy late last fall and only test drove it a couple of miles.  So it's been sitting in the garage all winter waiting for spring.  Now I find I have to have hernia and ankle surgery within the next couple of months.  Gonna kill my drive time.

[Marck]

Too little..
I got it registered last September, and had it out maybe 5 times before the season ended..
I really look forward to this upcomming season, it will definately see more roadtime this summer.. 

[chargermike]

i drive it when i can. need my truck for work. thw weather will be nice this weekend so gonna take her out for a drive and wash it up all pretty. but with dual quads it only gets about 6 miles per gallon. 50 bucks to drive her for an afternoon. money well spent. maybe 2000 miles a year

[road/track]

All the time on the weekends usulay, not commuting with it, and also have to split the time with the convertible
On the other hand, it will not be many miles on the Charger at all right now, as it stripped down to become a pro-tourer 

[Dino]

I drove it as much as I could last season but that's because I just got it and it was over ten years since I had my 68.

This spring I will be doing a bit more work to it so won't be driving it as much as I foresee I will mess up simple tasks like rebuilding and installing a carb or a rear sway bar!

I will drive it to work a few times to be sure but will probably use it more for cruising on the weekends.  With the price of gas going way up again that may not be a bad thing.

[billschroeder5842]

Never in the rain
As much as I can on weekend
Errands during the week after work.
Probably about 2500 miles last year

[charger01]

Clocked 80 miles today, which is pretty good for February without the heater installed yet.

[Charger 1]

Every chance I get in the spring, summer, and fall - weather permitting.  I have to park in a gravel lot at work so I don't take it there.  But I do manage to rack up about 6000 miles a year!!

How do you guys with the 69's find ways to protect the grille ? if you had to park in a parking lot at a grocery store for example how much do you worry about some clueless idiot bumping into your front end damaging the 69 grille which we all know is almost irreplaceable.

I usually park way in the back of the parking lot with the nose pointed to the curb.
