Driving a Old Car as a daily driver!

I make it a point to only have one OT car in the drive for a "Just in case" car. Other than that I always drive my cl***ic POS everyday, rain or shine.

Winner! ****in love it.

 

I ran radials on my 62 just in case one went out I could pick one up the same day.

My Edsel has bias ply www and I should have one or two tires on hand just in case one goes out beyond repair. They do not drive to bad but I have not got it past 45 yet. Still working the bugs out of her before she goes into full time duty.

 

I'd like to replace my ugly 92 Dodge ***mins with a hamb freindly truck but the dam thing just won't die!

 

The full service gas stations are long gone. You must check your fluids every day, or at least every fill up. You have to warm these old cars up. Leave a lot of room to stop, because newer cars can stop faster. In Calif, lots of parking lots are striped for really small cars, so parking is a little harder. If you can hang with that stuff, driving an oldie isn't too bad.

And, please, let's not beat that poor bias vs radial dead horse again. Really, please...

 

Been driving my '54 Customline Fordor V8/Fordomatic most days lately... at the moment the brakes are acting up so I'm in my OT car. I hate it.

Once I finish up the Lincoln I'll alternate between the Lincoln and the Ford until the white stuff starts falling from the sky.

 

I don't because my insurance doesn't allow for daily usage.

 

I pretty much drive this one now, my son gets mad if I pick him up in my Avalanche...



On occasion though, this one is used...and the kids at the elementry school love it when I drop my son off.



Honestly, I'm stuck in a company truck every day, so my "daily driver" just has to run errands after work, not drive to and from work.

 

I drive my 58 daily. 65 miles round trip 5-6 days a week. Its in primer so i dont worry about rock chips and stuff. Gotta enjoy it while i can, gotta park it for winter soon enough. I love driving it in the rain, just hate driving in salt all winter
