    Working from home means not much driving so when I do drive I usually take the woody.
    I actually put my daily driver Toyota in to storage for the summer since I didn’t think I’d need it and could get by with the wife’s car and my old cars.

    I try to drive Rusty every day but I haven't been getting out as much lately. A local car club is going to have a cruise around the retirement community that my 100 year old father lives in this Thursday so I'll definitely be driving in that.

    I haven’t driven mine much at all this summer. The wife and I have talked about building a nice carport for years and since all of the car shows we had planned On traveling to were canceled it was the summer to build it.

    Actually, been driving both my cars more than ever. One issue though, you have to use the drive thru at the bank and I damn near choked to death from exhaust fumes waiting in line with the roadster.

    I’ve been driving any chance I get, cruise night, errands, boredom, etc... I don’t need much of a reason...

  16. Usually have about 6000 miles by mid July. This year I doubt that I have 200. Just nowhere safe to go.

    I have been driving my coupe quite a bit. Not much more than normal. I tend to use my car most nice days to run around town in and so on. The wife and I did take the car to pick up a Tshirt order for our upholstery business. ended up being about 120 mile round trip.


    I hope your surgery goes well with no issues. Get well soon. Hope we get to play at the Hill Climb. Talked to Mike Yesterday and they are still dealing with state and county offices trying to make it happen.

  18. Since all the big car shows have been canceled I have spent a lot of time with my '32, I had a list of things that needed attention and checking them off the list I have actually been driving the sedan quiet a bit this summer.

    Whenever the world gets back to normal the sedan will be ready to go anywhere, The wagon is next with just a few minor issues but we drove it yesterday afternoon. HRP

    Can't do much else with them, so driving gets far more time now than it did last year!

    I have seen noticeably more classic vehicles on the roads lately, I think people have had more time to work on them. I know I have.

  23. Almost every day, I just went on a 120 mile round trip to get some parts in the panel truck. Luckily it wasn't too hot out.

  25. I know what you mean Phil. It's just been short trips for me. I don't even get out of the car unless I need gas. I miss visiting friends the most. I'm scheduled for knee surgery on the 28th. So I've been quarantined. I guess that will slow me to a stop! I hope we will be back to normal in 2021. Ron....

    Nope, mine is still apart. I have worked right on along, so no time other than weekends to drive anything but this semi truck. And no time to work on it anyway until this hot weather passes.
