    i rarely drive at all. so if i'm going out for some reason, i try to invent these, and the trip is of at least 20 miles or so i'll take the car. for short trips, 2-5 miles i drive my little vw kit car. if i need to haul something i take the truck. if we have guests i'll drive the volvo. the wife drives the ford around the corner to the winn dixie.

    No excuse! Get a Mondial, the kids will love it - problem solved!

    My mondi goes to work once per week (60km round), plus again kids to sport on weekends. 5000 kms per year.

    I bought a F355 Spider last month and drive it daily to work, grocery store, etc. I see no reason to stop. I've put on over 1,300 miles so far. I detail it twice a week and love doing it. Why have it if you don't drive it. Maybe I'll get tired of it but I doubt it.

    I drive mine most times when I go out. Sometimes I take my truck at night if I don't want to wake everyone up :)

    I work from home and don't go out much, but when I do, I always try to take the ferrari. I would say a few times per week on average, since that's about how much I have a reason to drive some place.

    I drive my 360 in the rain, fog, sun, hot, cold, mud, whatever. They are great in the rain! :) I don't baby it, it's there to be driven. If it blows up, I will fix it. When I get back home, I take good care of it... on the road, it's there to take care of me and I show little mercy on her :)

    I sympathize with the others on this thread. I have an older car - a 246GT - along some other sports cars and motorcycles. Where I live, using an older car everyday is not an option, so the cars are really early morning Sunday cars, and there are only so many Sundays. I get perhaps 500 kilometers per year maximum on a car.

    The problem, more recently, has been fuel. When a car sits for some time, the float valve pins stick or get gummed up, and one gets a massive overflow. True even on the Ducati 748R with efi. Any suggestions?

    These last couple of months has been virtually nil. Too busy with work & social life. But when I get back in town, I will make sure to give them a good canyon run at night.

    4-5 times per month but who cares, its a Ferrari! Don't try to rationalize it...you can't get there. It is a pure luxury and as such it is worth having it even if I only get to drive it a few times a month. But I get to look at it in my garage every day and that makes it even better!

    I drive mine at least twice a month all year - as long as the roads are dry in the winter.

    During the better seasons I try to get it out once a week. I make a point to drive it at least every two weeks.

    I drive it as often as possible.
