I DONT UNDERSTAND EAST COAST GUYS

OK OK OK
IF U ARE NOT IN THE GARAGE WORKING ON YOUR CARS U ARE OUT MOVING SNOW FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. HELL I JUST DONT GET IT. WHATS THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF MILES U DRIVE A YEAR?
LISTEN VINCE JUST SAID HE HAD A 100K FOUNDATION HE HAS TO MANAGE.
LETS GET A WEST COAST THERAPY LOCATION FOR EAST COASTERS WITH THAT MONEY. THEN WE CAN ALL DRIVE. :)

Sounds like a WINNER!!!!!!

I turned exactly 5000 miles, a year to the date of picking up my car Dec 19, 2008.

MY VS SPEEDSTER WAS DELIVERED IN AUG OF 08 I NOW HAVE 6000 MILES I JUST PUT IT AWAY FOR THE WINTER MY NEXT MAJOR TRIP WILL BE CARLISLE IN MAY

When the big one comes and the west coast becomes the east coast, we'll be OK then!

Dan--you need to join us for the caravan to Morro Bay in April---THEN Carlisle.---Jack

I put 2,200 on the D last year, It has been used,But not abused..

Hey but I still wont drive it in the snow ..They still use salt around here..

Gerd, you're funny!

Cory - won't they let you park Hoopty in the firehouse while you're at work?

I put about 4K on mine the first year. I drive it when I can. This year was pretty useless, as it rained about every time I had free time to drive it, probably 1500 to 2K this year. I have over 15K on mine, in 4 full seasons plus a fall.

Recently I installed a heater and I have just gotten a top too, to be installed. That should extend my season a little.

So it is cold for three months, so what. I can't imagine living somewhere where there isn't a change of season.

I've averaged about 6000 miles a year for 3 years straight.

9000 miles,one year,second tranny,carbs rebuild,getting ready for 2010,all the best to the old foxes and the newcomers,herbert.

HI JACK I HOPE ALL IS WELL I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOUR POSTS ON THE TYPE IV ENGINE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WONT BE LONG, BET YOU CANT WAIT!!! IAM PLANNING TO DRIVE MY SPEEDSTER TO CARLISE IN MAY ( WEATHER PERMITTING ) MORRO BAY WOW?? THE LONGEST TRIPS I HAVE TAKEN ARE LIMEROCK RACEWAY 100 MILES, I MET UP WITH DANNY AND LEON FOR THE LABOR DAY VINTAGE RACES ALL THREE OF US DROVE ON THE TRACK WITH THE PORSCHE CLUB OF CT, ALSO A TRIP TO WATCH HILL RI 60 MILES.MOST OF MY DRIVING IS TO THE GOLF CLUB AND BACK 10 MILES ROUND TRIP. HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!! SEE YA IN PA DAN

Bought mine in 2001 and have likely put on less than 2,000. ;-( But I bet I have the coldest drive in a speedy and that was 2002 and it was minus 30 that day.

Brian, my Brutha - you are 1 hardcore Canuck! I like that!!

Brian, I salute you. Brrrrrrrrr.

I tried one day at -20

I'm good for 3k/year. Like Danny said, though, the weather pretty much sucked this year.

We drove ours 6300 miles the first year along with 16k on the Harley. Trips in the car average 250 to 300 mile day trips the Bike...3900 miles to Niagra Falls etc. I want to know the West Coasters mileage?????

By the way Merry Christmas to all.

Richard and Becky

I'm good for nearly 100k a year in the big truck and 500 miles on whatever I happen to to own before I sell it ~

We have 110,000Km on our VS (68,300 miles)...and counting!

As Micky would say I hate you guys......

MY AVG IS
1ST YEAR 4600
2ND YEAR 7000
3RD YEAR IS TOUGH AS IT WAS OUT OF ACTION FOR 8 MONTHS BUT IVE GOT ABOUT 3500 IN 3 MONTHS

Richard - hook up and caravan out to Morro Bay with Jack Crosby. I know you'll have a good time!!

Gerd, I am sure my mileage would be close to double(and about the same as yours) if I didn't have two youngins. The Spyder doesn't quite cut it for a family of three! So I end up driving it on nice days when I don't have the kids, which works out to half the time I want to, as I have 50% custody.

Basically, between Thanksgiving and Easter, the car sits idle. I did drive it on January 6 a few years ago, it was 65 degrees out! I do leave it insured throughout the year just in case.

El Guapo,

Both my wife and I work at a Fluff Mill (without our product you won't have any toliet paper or paper towels) Our annual shutdown is in May. Since I am in Purchasing and she is in Accounting, I buy it she pays for it cool huh?, neither of us can leave the area for about 8 weeks around the two weeks of inspecting and upgrading the mill. My sister lives in Marin County and we have been trying for 4 years to get there. I assure you if we ever do I will locate all of the SOC members that I can and spend some time visiting.

Gerd, you're not exactly correct ... some of us like to tinker in the wintertime garage setting, THEN go out and tear it up in the snow.

CORY U CRACK ME UP
THOSE ARE GREAT PICTURES U SHOULD SUBMIT FOR THE CALENDAR

DANNY
U NEED TO COME TO CALIF, HAD A COLD BEER LAST NIGHT IN ONE OF YOUR BEER MUGS.

Hey!

Since when does the Hoopty have SEAT CUSHIONS???????????

See that?

The guy gets married and goes out for milk for 10 months and comes back to........

Seat Covers!!

Who woulda thunk?

(or maybe they were there all along and I'm having another "Early Onset Alzheimer's" moment)

I recieved La Bomba on January 19th 2007. I now have 6800 miles. Every mile with a smile on my face. Its like great sex, If you could do it ALL the time wouldn't it become, well you know, hmm...Anyway, I always look foward to putting pedal to the metal. You left Coasters are way to tanned and SOFT, or so I hear........

The price was right, Gordon; thirty-odd bucks each. And they match!
I bought them a while ago. ;)
Howard, what's this I hear about a spare engine coming available?

Hi Cory, Im toying with the idea of stuffing a 96-98 3.6 into my little speedster for a little more giddyup. Its easier/cost effective to do that than to build my 3.2 into a 3.5 twin plug and all that goes with it. My 3.2 may be up for sale, if I can find a good donor 3.6. We'll see how the final numbers come out. The ONLY thing that makes it worthwhile is getting some reasonable coin for the 3.2
