Do you drive your bug on a regular basis?
Well, beings that I'm decent shape, eat healthy, and get enough daily fiber... I suppose that it's safe to say that don't drive my Bug on an irregular basis. Just increase the fiber intake if your desire is to be regular. Because a Bug can't be enjoyed if one is constipated. |

I don't drive mine anywhere near as much as I'd like. It's taxed MOT'd and insured, but I just don't get the opportunity.

I use it almost everyday during summer time. But I think I will use it less now because rust start to attack some panels and as we don't have the same weather as in California, opportunities to drive it will decrease a lot  |

I drive mine quite often anywhere from two to seven days a week, short but sweet drives. Sometimes good long hauls. It sees 100 plus mile round trips at times. Just yesterday I took it to Laguna Beach that was probably about 100 or so miles round trip. It's not my daily driver for work but it gets it's use. Jason

Everything is spread out. I do. And I could also say that maybe you don't realize how wonderful your road system is and that it would be just impossible to do the same thing (cover the same distances) in Europe and how much time would it take, than you would say that the situation is not the same in different places in US etc. I could also add difference in average wage etc. It doesn't make sense. It's incomparable and I'm not saying that one side is in better situation then the other. All I wanted to say that 4$ per gallon is a funny figure from my point of view. |

I drive my 67 8 days a week at least 300 days a year, rain sleet, snow or 110F heat. The only days it doesn't get driven is when I am too drunk to drive or I'm taking a trip with family. I got it a year and a half ago and it has only been down for 4 days, when my Pertronix fried and I had to mail order another. I've put a little under 11,000 miles on it so far. |

there is a cunundrum in driving a hot rod VW on a regular basis.... a) driving it is the ONLY way to make sure parts are working together and not grinding themselves into a pile of dust. Little short blasts around the complex or neighborhood once a month won't show you if parts are living in real world conditions. Getting the car out for a number of hours a workweek will bring any would-be problems to the surface (trust me  ) but...... b) driving the car on a regular basis does create the need for constant eye on "things" and semi-constant adjustments and service. Things wear out (and sometimes come loose, fall off....etc. ). Seems like as much as I have been making miles go by on mine the more often I am under it looking for "stuff" so what does a guy do? |
