I'm thinking of getting the Firehawk out more as it's a blast with the 6 spd. Like Goatracer1 says, why save it for the next guy!
Agreed, drive that ‘94! I’ve got a 94 Formula 6-speed also, more of a track/race car than a daily but it still has A/C!

Bought a 78 Lemans in West Virginia 2 years ago. Put in a 455/6x combo with TH400. Installed 2.14:1 gears in the rear end. Drive it everyday day to work from Spring to the first snow. Kind of a beater but I Really enjoy it.

These days I try to drive my rides twice a week. 68 FB Sprint and 64 Mercury Comet. They are not show cars and are driver quality. My rides live in the driveway and often are hit with lawnmowers and bicycles. I’ve been wrenching and driving classics since the 70’s and just love sitting behind the wheel the sound and the way it drives. I think for all of us it’s like therapy whether driving or just doing maintenance it’s something we all have in common. 👍

I daily mine when i know the weather is going to hold up. Im not scared of temperatures or a light rain, but seeing as how my area uses salt like it's rain water, winter driving is a no-no.

Like my signature says, 100% Pontiacs in my driveway.

1984 GP, project 455, not yet finished.

1999 GP, old Mary Kay car, driven daily rain or shine, used to pull trailers, and haul anything that fits in it. 140,000 miles

2005 GTO, daily driver barring snow, and salt, pulls trailers, and goes to get anything that will fit in the undersize trunk. 144.000 miles.

2008 Vibe, daily driver, bought new, currently 300 something thousand miles (odometer physically hit 299,999 miles 4 years ago, Vibe odometers cannot register higher than that). Trailer hitch, but relegated to lighter loads with a 4 cyl.

Trucks:

88 IH S1600 ex U Haul truck, currently being made into wrecker. 7.3 IDI N/A diesel, Vulcan wrecker body 210,000 miles.

93 K3500 6.5 TD dually stake body, just retired with blown 4L80E at 270,000 miles, engine runs perfectly, body is very rusty.

95 3500HD, 6.5 TD, 4L80E, straight truck, van body, electric over hydraulic lift gate. Currently using it to move my possessions from old house to new house, runs perfectly, minimal body rust, 250,000 miles. Slated to be made into dump truck after home move is completed.

97 K3500 dually to replace 93 that transmission failed recently. Has 454, that is not at all impressive to me (it may get a Pontiac in it if it needs any major repairs). 4L80E, stake body, rusty body, 256.000 miles.

My newest car is a 2008 with way over 300,000 miles. All Pontiac cars.

Everything I own I usually drive till the cost to fix it grossly exceeds the value, or it isn't any longer safe to drive on public roads. That comes from being a mechanic over 50 years, and being raised by depression era parents, squeeze a nickel until it spends like a dime.........
