I drive the hell out of my formula, I have only had it about a month and a half and have already put 6000 miles on it (althought 2800 of them where driving it home from LA where I bought it) I love the car so much I just want to drive it all the time. In the winters I have a 98 s-10 I wouldn't even attemp to drive the car in the snow, rain is squirly enough (no trac control)

I DD my mine 7 days a week to work. Makes me cry to see the mileage go up. But then again I need to enjoy it right?

I have a 00' Firehawk, and I drive it everyday. Sun, rain, doesn't matter. I won't drive it in the snow though. Thats is what my fiances Avalanche and Sunfire are for. Given I wash my car 2-3 times a week and polish the wheels.

I do worry about putting a bunch of miles on it. I've had it since April and have put 3k on it. However I am not one of these people that buy a car like that and just let it sit. I am glad some people do though, or I wouldnt have gotten a 2000 Firehawk with 27xxx miles on it. Go figure.

I like seeing people with Camry's and older cars at work when I pull in with a Hawk as a DD.

I love this car.

Weekends only, prev owner drove in the rain, but I have since washed the under carriage and those days are over, weekend toy. I also got to say, with has many of these cars (fbody ls1 hawks,ss,z28,etc) has there is around, for the next 15-20 years, these wont be anyone's 401k golden parachute either so if your holding on to make a huge profit be prepared to wait a long time or just drive it and enjoy it.
