I only use my car to cruise as well. I usually take it out this time of year twice a month on the nicest days. During the spring/summer usually 1-2 times a week. I never leave my car while I'm out for a drive either, the only place it sits without me in it is the garage.

It is it's purpose in life! All for fun, not a grocery getter.

That is my favorite thing to do in my car. It only gets driven maybe 100 miles a week at most so i love to go for a cruise every now and then. Not to mention, it's always fun when you catch a race with someone while your out enjoying yourself!

mines a daily seasonal driver and i cruise just for the sack of cruising not even going anywhere at least twice a week and still drive it everyday to work. Of course it is a convertible so not cruising and owning a vert is like a sin

just driving is the best. not having anywhere to be or anything to do. i've been just driving for the past 3 days to help stress relieve after finals. i found an awesome country stretch about a 50 mile circuit. today there were almost no cars, no cops and plenty of curves. i topped out at about 120 on the short straights and was running between 70 and 100 most of the way. down shifting and rev matching. just me, the road, the car, and some good music. tomorrow i'm letting one of my friends tag along in his car.

I couldn't imagine NOT just going for a cruise for the hell of it... if it's not raining, I go out, windows down, music up, and just drive to wherever.
