I do that.
I'll also take the long wa to get somewhere if I'm not pressed for time.
I'll take any opportunity to go for a drive.


My wife accuses me of driving to the end of the driveway just to check the mail.

Is there something wrong with driving to the end of the driveway for the mail? LOL

I drive the heck outta mine! I have 53k miles and haven't even had it for 3 years! I mean I enjoy it waaaaay too much!

There is nothing wrong with enjoying one of the simpler pleasures in life.

Sadly, I haven't been able to find the time to go cruising with a group of fellow Stangers since I moved from Charleston. That's what makes it real fun!

I see that it's going to be a good "Stang day" & I love to go no where fast. This design is not that new, but, I still get the praises of car lovers when driving. The Toyota is for purposeful destinations, the Stang is for theraputical stimulation. I've got 17K on it now & I'm kind of glad for the winter months as I don't put too many miles on it. Any Wisconsinite Stangers around this site ?

Sometimes taking the mustang on a trip to nowhere is just what I need. My wife calls these rides "magical mystery tours". You never know where you'll end up. She's actually pretty understanding about this stuff. I went out in January to look at Honda Accords for my son and came home with a '09 Bullitt. And I'm still married and not sleeping in the car.!

I drive around, but fear the mileage I put on the car, so I just wash it and let it sit...im to picky with my vehicles...i wash them, and dont want to get them dirty, so they sit.

Same here man, When I wash my car I just don't feel like driving anymore because I know it will get dirty and if I do drive it I always look around really quick to see what dirt marks showed up.

Yeah I had my stang for about a year now and have 15k on it but I just bought and old hoopty so I can keep the mileage down.

Why own a car that you fear putting any miles on, or are too worried about cleanliness to drive?
