Whats the longest..
 
you have ever been away from your car? Including not even hearing it run. For me its June 30th was the last time i heard it, and i saw it once last month.

WayFast84 09-24-2006 08:52 PM

about the same, I beleive it was like june 12th or some thing, its on my car domain

last year i went about 2 months without it. it was sitting home with a flat and i was using the work car everyday and didnt need my own. i started driving it again when i got the 19s. it felt like a new car

about the same as what, you see it every time you walk out into your driveway.........

the longest ive been without it is vacations, but it goes all winter under a cover so i dont look at it much

Its already pushing a month & two weeks right now. I think thats going to be the longest I have not been able to drive it. Only other time was when it was at TTP at this same exact time last year, and then All-Star for a blown trans.

... All of this because of a broken header bolt... who would have thought :roll:

The 67 was about 3 mnths when i couldnt find a rear for the car. the T/A was a week.

V 09-24-2006 08:59 PM

hmmm...as of now, i haven't driven my car in 1 year, 1 month, and 1 week. Thats when i started have the fuel issue, then 1.5 weeks later the motor blew apart. So far, it seems it should be up again before the new year...

GP99GT 09-24-2006 09:33 PM

curt86iroc 09-24-2006 09:41 PM

6 months maybe. the iroc sat in the driveway in nj while i was at school in pa.

BonzoHansen 09-24-2006 09:56 PM

If we are talking about running cars, uh, freshman year of college was longest.

Brando56894 09-24-2006 10:37 PM

:stupid:

i was away from it 3 months at a time while i was at willy p

Untamed 09-25-2006 12:22 AM

Heard mine run earlier this month - after owning it for 18 months. I've never driven it though beyond pulling it forward a few feet then reversing it back into its spot to test the tranny.

BigAls87Z28 09-25-2006 12:45 AM

I belive its been about a month since I have started the 72.

Ian 09-25-2006 01:13 AM

about two years

slasherbarb 09-25-2006 08:32 AM

probably about 3 weeks after my NASCAR-esque accident on 80 last March...longest 3 weeks of my life without that car...

Sphinx 09-25-2006 11:17 AM

6 months..... it was in the garage while i saved money for parts. It sucked... almost messed myself when i finally got it out of there.

Tru2Chevy 09-25-2006 11:33 AM

Umm, I went about 22 months without hearing mine run.

I took about a year off of restoring my car, because I just lost interest. The last time I heard it run? Last monday night, and Ill hear it again tonight. The Camaro, I see it every day, its at the end of my driveway with a big sign on it, but I havent run it in about 2 and a half weeks. Longest time I was away from that was when the opti went, and I was driving my buddys 5.0 for about 2 months two years ago. I had the opti but just didnt want to replace it, besides I was having way too much fun driving his car while he was away at school!

79dizZy28 09-25-2006 04:24 PM

Almost 5 months, June-Nov '04. It spent all that time sitting in a shop 10 miles away. When I got it back the roof and trunk lid were sunfaded from sitting outside for so long. And not only that, but a small cartoon drawn in the dust on the trunk lid became permanent due to the fadeing. All that time for a simple 350 rebuild.

BonzoHansen 09-25-2006 04:38 PM

Wait, how long, even in not-in-running condition? I've never heard my 67 run....

JL8Jeff 09-25-2006 04:39 PM

It was Feb of 2000 that I last heard my 69 Z28 run! I haven't seen the car in either 2 or 3 years in October, I forget. Back when I was in college, sophomore year I had a 69 Camaro conv that sat in the garage at home in NJ while I was at school in Rochester, NY. I would go 3-4 months without seeing it. I couldn't afford insurance until I started working that summer.

BonzoHansen 09-25-2006 04:46 PM

2000? Pfft. Slacker. I'm working on 10 years...and likely 2 more until it runs. At least in those 10 years, I finished & sold my 82, changed careers, finished my MBA, got married, bought a house, and had 2 kids. And now, bought the 77. So, it wasn’t an uneventful 10 years.

deadtrend1 09-25-2006 05:09 PM

its been about 3 weeks since I have driven the 96 i think..... when I do bring it out, its only for about a few hours just so i dont get flat spots. Then when i park it, I park it somewhere else in the yard to give the grass a chance to grow...... :)
