Add me to the list of "Daily Drivers." I've had mine back on the road since
October 2009. Since then I have driven it regularly and on round trips to
conventions in Jacksonville, Cedar Rapids, and recently 2200 mile round trip
to Sturbridge and other destinations in New England. Additionally, I drive
it to regional outings like Springfest, Tail of the Dragon and the Corvair
Performance Workshop to name a few. This year for the first time, we made
the trip to Lexington, VA for the Virginia Vair Fair and am hoping to make
it to Vairs in the Valley.
Annually, I put between 10,000 and 12,000 miles on this car. It is by no
means a show car, but very presentable. I would drive it to California and
back if I could talk the missus into it. When I purchased the car in 2005,
the ODO showed a tad over 60K. After final restoration in 2009, it showed
74K. It will turn 100K in about 300 miles. I plan to drive the car till
the wheels fall off. I really love driving it and the pleasant memories
that come back while cruising to the 60' music on my XM radio.
