Like most I don’t drive it near enough. I try to get it out once a month for a local drive but the last couple of years sick parents have ate up my free time. Eventually I still would like to take it on a Route 66 cruise. I have only put a little over 800 miles on it since I completed the restoration, the clutch isn’t even broke in yet. Then there is the winter. It used to be OK around here as long as winter weather wasn’t forecast the roads were fine. Now our State road crews put down a salt slurry mixed with beat juice when the temps are forecast to go below freezing even if there is no precipitation forecast. So our roads, mainly the bridges, constantly have this sticky salt residue on them. That really limits driving it in the winter months now. I guess we need to keep the snowflakes safe because the bridges might get frost on them.
