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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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......
