Default Where have you driven lately

Originally bought my car to be a driver, maybe a daily one even. As such, I didn't much consider the truly perfect examples. For the cost and also for the fact that I would probably not have driven a show quality car nearly as much. So I bought one with a bit of mileage and some good honest wear. Now that the car is on the road, I find myself driving it quite a bit. But talking to other owners, seems that some of them drive only to shows, cruise ins, etc. So how about a thread about how we actually use these things. Be interesting to see how the other half lives.....

Kept track for a week or so and I drove the Cobra to:

Body shop - to get the rear deck repainted
Work
New house lot - ck progress

Work
Aldi's - pick up milk
New house lot
Parents house
Walgreens
Dunkin donuts
New house lot
Hardware store
Test drive new carb settings
Bagel shop
Flooring store
Lowe's
Work
Around
Grocery store
2 hour test drive of new gearshift knob
Meeting with builder

Just to let you all know, I have found much longer, curvier, and more interesting routes to all of the above. Are you using yours as it was intended?

Weekend drives. Usually to get a cup of coffee and read and relax.
