    Only car I got!!

    My mav's the only mode of transportation that I got. SO I drive it every day! Only time it gets old is when it's hot cause I haven't fixed my air yet. Or when it's raining real hard and a windshield wiper flies off. Yeah, that's allways nice.:rolleyes: You can tell your car really loves you when...........
    But, I drive the maverick every day, and enjoy almost every minute of it.:p Country

    Thanks for the check in, Don! I am glad it's still going strong. I drive my Maverick practically every day, unless I don't go anywhere! :D Pretty soon I'll get some pictures of it on here because you guys haven't seen it after it's been painted.

    I drive mine when the weather is good (Spooled rear ends and 3 1/2 " front wheels dont sound fun on wet roads!) But I will drive it to and from work about 3 times a week and to cruise-ins on the weekends. :bananaman

    The Stallion is strictly a cruise/show car. The 4 door is used many days per week even though it still needs repainted, etc. The looks and comments I get are just great. The best part are the people who have absolutely no idea what it is!:clap:

    missing my 71 maverick i6 3 on the tree :(
    drive mine everyday pretty much, i try not to run it in the wet weather, and i hope i can squeeze it in the garage when the snow starts flying, mine isn't very pretty, but its mine and i hope to keep it that way, just wish the job market would pick up.. im so glad my 4x4 is road worthy this year..

    My 76 Maverick is my everyday driver. My 77" Maverick is only driven during the summer months and as little as possible when it rains.

    You forgot one

    You missed a category. I plan on driving mine daily if I ever get it finished and roadworthy.
