    I've been wondering how often do you drive your ferrari and after how many miles do you have to service it.

    Average 50miles a week, if i have done it on one go, than more.
    Sometimes i just get her out to washers, the farthest possible :)
    Looks like she's gonna get driven even less cause of the winter.

    2 or 3 times a week in good weather (spring, summer, fall). Usually 100 to 200 miles each time.

    In the winter I go whenever I can. Usually just before or after skiing. Probably averages once every week or two. ;)

    twice a month.

    When I first bought it, it was once a week, take it to the track once every other month. Gave me such a rush, I bought a race car. Figured if I hurt the Ferrari one incident would pay for the race car. Now I just drive the Ferrari to club events.

    Jeez, when I had my 308qv, I bought it with 40,000 miles,
    sold it with 75,000, 3 1/2 year span. Use to drive it all weekend long, and sometimes
    during the week if I had a rough day at work.

    Between 50 and 100 miles every weekend (weather permitting). Occasional longer trips (twice a year or so). About 4500 - 5000 miles per year. It's nice to live in a place where I can enjoy it year-round (more so this time of year as it has no A/C).

    The roads are dry 90% of the time. Better to go in the morning before the snow on the shoulders melts and runs across the road. Then the car gets wet and is a b!tch to clean even with hot (warm) water which I have in the garage. ;)

    1000 miles per month. Its a daily driver. Its a car ( a great one) but not an icon you worship.

    You don't want to be on your death bed wishing you drove it more because your heirs will.

    Every day it doesn't rain or snow. I service it when when I need to . Belts every 3-3 1/2 years and fluid (brake , antifreeze) changes every 2 years. Oil change once a year. Mine has been pretty good maintenance wise. I would say no more problems then my XKE or some of the older Corvette's I've had. It's a car and fun to drive so I want to enjoy it before I can't get in/out of it.

    Once or twice a month.

    :(

    They can be difficult to drive being so low (avoiding scraping the bottom constantly.. watching where you go).. plus all of the attention, staring and questions. Sheesh.
