edinmass Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I’m more fortunate than most, as many events and tours I am on, it’s actually “work”. Getting paid to drive pre was cars is fun and VERY high stress......when you have to fix every car that breaks down on the side of the road. Most are not sorted, and often are beyond a quick roadside fix. So while the stress is high, the fun is over the top. I’m guessing this year I have about 8K miles of windshield time myself in what one would call big iron cars..........they tend to be ten times more complicated than the basic transportation that was 90 percent of what was going down the road new. Interestingly, most of the stuff I did on the roadside was post war machines. I’m certain for me this years mileage was the most I have ever done. I’m hoping next year is just a little bit shorter............ yes, you can actually burn out driving great cars in great areas.......... stress is ten times more exhausting than the actual work. Here is a J on a roadside repair......we got lucky there was a gas station to pull into........that was 178 miles in one day on back country roads in the Smokey Mountains...... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something around 1300 miles. Next year? We shall see, Ben These past two years have been very challenging, in addition to health and family issues. Stay strong and keep smiling, just like the grill on your Buick ! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 2,844 total miles for me and my Buicks. Not as much as I would have liked but due to circumstances, I am happy I made it to the goal with a little to spare. Anyone want to do it in 2022?

I don't view it as a competition but instead as an incentive to get the car out into the sunshine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
