maybe 2 days max. Gotta stop driving it so much. Have 22K miles since April, and have to keep it a long time :cautious:
 
4 days when it was repo'd last November. gosh i missed it
Next time it will get burned to the ground before i let them have her
 
i went a month without driving my AV twice. :8: i had knee surgery. the first month i was on sick leave. :7: a month went by; i was driving. cool. then i went for a follow-up. the doc thought my knee was still unstable. so, he puts me in a cast for another month. :E:
 
I was without mine a couple of times.... it was in the shop for a day and we were on vacation twice.

Rental cars :9:
 
I usually go about a week, most weeks, unless I'm servicing it, or refining a mod & so-on. I "save" it for trips/outings and an occasional weekend trek. The longest so far was about eight days :-[.
I drive the :9:DORF (did I spell that right?) to work; it's kept outside so I look like Po' Folk...
 
The worst 2 days where between when I saw it at the dealer lot and it took 2 days to buy

Another bad time was when I was without it for 5 days when I got my stereo install done. I had to drive a Red 92 sunbird sedan, but it was all good in the end
 
I was in Iowa for 47 days for work while the AV was at home. That was the longest trip I have been on. I got home and drove the av for a tank and a half of gas before I got my fix. But normally go about 3 weeks at a time w/out it.
 
I bought my Av on a Monday. It was the first truck that I have bought myself. I was so excited to get it!!! Two days later I had to go out of town for a conference for 5 days. All I could think about was getting home to drive it!

I miss right now as i type this. have to wait for another week.
 
20 days now. No problems or anything.
With the cold and snow here in NJ
the road crews must put down 2 inches
of salt a day on the road. (except Piscataway)
I just don't have the heart to turn
my 3 month old summit white AV
into a crystal white AV.

I'm driving my 95 K2500 for now.
global warming :rolleyes: yea right.
 
Two days:

I was carpooling to work, so the wife "Borrowed" my AV. I would rather be shot/horse whipped/snake bit than drive her Matrix

 
:6:I have probably been worst off then everyone. I purchased my Avy (Smoke Grey Z66) back in Oct-03. I made an effort to drive it a much as possible, valunteering at every chance to run errands for my family and I even was able to make a road trip to WV and NC to visit friends.
I fell in love :love:with this truck seeing it on sights like this one (this is a great sight) and Cardomain.com. I just had to have one. I 'm in the Army and currently in Korea. I was able to take 30 days of leave back to the states so I decide to test drive one and see how it was. So before I knew it I was driving away in my new Avy. ;D The bad part was that I had only 2 weeks to drive it. :( Sooooooo....It has been since Oct 03 that I last seen my pride and joy and I wont see her again until Late april when I make it back to the states. So everyone pray that my baby will be OK through these tough times without me.
 
5 days once when I was traveling by plane......my Avy was stuck at airport parking lot.....
 
5 days every other week ... we switch off driving vehicle to work each week .... keeps the miles down when she only drives about 7-10 miles to work and I drive 50 one way! ....
 
Three Days When Trans Failed --


Wonder If This Was Why ? :

5 days... front end got ripped off in an accident and had to drive a loaner while it was being fixed. To make matters worse.. I WAS ON VACATION!!!
 
I usually only drive it once a week if it's not hunting season. I got the 'work from home scam' happening so no need to find shoes unless going ice fishing or skiiing ;D

It just stays parked in the shed

Dog, I thought you ripped the front off the ricer!
 
The ricer was all me!! Yes I did rip his off and only had paint transfer.

On vacation in sunny Florida back in Oct MY front end got riped off in a hit and run. :6:
 
My AV sits up around 3 days a week. We do our runnig around in the Corolla to save gas.
 
I parked my AV and drive my C5 from late May early July to Labor Day weekend.
 
;D I haven't missed a day seeing mine since I got it, but lots of days it just sits in the carport & rests getting ready for me to cruise around,

The Avalanche & I really got close back in December, I had a fireworks stand & I slept on a pallet in the back end of the Avalanche from the 15th of Dec until Jan 1st. It was definitely an experience I will never forget >:D
