OT: What's the longest you have gone......
How long do you guys go in between driving your R's? Mine is a daily driver but a freak accident last week at work left me not able to drive for a full week. The doc said i shouldn't be driving yet but managed to sneak out for a drive. I cam back with a huge smile on my face! What a pleasure it is to own such a fine crafted machine.
to all the R owners!

where should i begin?
1. 4 weeks- i got the car 3/00 and lost my license from previous tickets
2. 1 week, got in to accident in the snow 3/01
3. 5 weeks-bent valves 7/01 and dealer said it would be covered under warrenty, but wasnt and took forever for them to finish.
4. 2 days-broke pressure plate 9/01
5. 4.5 months, another accident in 12/01, insurance company did full investigation and took their time. car came out in middle of April 02
so it looks like i 've been w/ out my car for about 7 months of the 2years of ownership
it has led a very rough life so far ,but still going strong

Total about 8 months.
3 months last year and around 5-6months this year in 3 month groups.
Have gone 1-4weeks in a row also but thats nothing to the 3-4 month waits I've gone through!
Last year when I went 3 months I thought I was gonna loose it. I then discovered gas RC cars and got hooked on them to hold me over. Now this year it isn't that bad because I have many things I can still do since the race season is going on plus I have tons of other projects and issues to deal with. The only time it gets hard is when I go to races and see people having a blast or when I just want to go out and whoop some *** in my car whenever I want.

That is amazing how long some of you had gone without driving your R's. When i drove mine after a week i was still in pain (sprained my ankle badly) using the gas/brake pedal but the sheer delight of just being behind the wheel of my car made the pain go away.
I don't know what i would do if i couldn't drive it for months at a time
