    The only Maverick I currently have here at my house is the '72. When it needs something worked on, I do it. The rest of my Mavericks are 100 miles away at my grandparent's house in NC. I mess with them when ever I can get up there, usually on weekends when I don't have any other plans. During the week nights I really don't have much else to do except get on here.

    What we need is an hour meter for each member, see how many total hours everyone spends on here. That may be a little embarrassing. :D

    I spend more time working on my various projects, not just my Maverick. I wish I could only work on my Maverick but I'm the type of person that has 10 projects going at once. The Maverick is for me though, so it will take priority. I spend time on the net every morning as I drink my coffee and every night. Sometimes if I am home I may come check emails and stuff mid day. In the Winter I spend a lot of time on various forums. An Opel forum, a chopper builders forum, a diesel forum, a Ducati forum, and now this one. I like my toys and I like to learn about them and forums are the best way and they are the best way to swap parts.

    I wish I could say I spend more time on the car but that is wishful thinking. I don't always have the $$$ to do anything to it.

    Spending time on here is free :dance:

    Spend more time here than on cars, have not got the new alumn. rad. in that I got months ago, only had the blue car out two times and the four door one time. I guess mostly just old and lazy.

    I'm on 3 slotcar, 2 MOPAR, 2 Chevy, this and 1 Hotrodding forums...

    The Mav just had it's first repair of the year a few minutes ago. A starter bolt backed out, so back in it went.

    My cars are in good driving condition. They don't need much other the dusting etc and I travel for work a lot so I have more time to surf the net then work on the cars.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    I've been having a bunch of family problems(parents divorce) at home so i've been spending all my money on my family trying to help them out,so the mavs on the backburner and will be for another year. I also dont get alot of time to check out this forum, i used to be on here alot but in bewtween making money and dealing with personal things i dont get much of a chance....so sometimes i live vicariously trough some of your guy's mavs/comets....which is why i like this forum so much.

    I did not vote, too open of a question.

    Overall, I spend more time here, but of my true free summer time (time I am not paid by others to do something) I definitely spend more with my Mavericks than here. However during the cold months, I don't even get to see my cars and would vote with the majority. This poll was asked during the summer so I really am undecided on what would be correct pick. What I am sure of is that I like to spend time with both and wouldn't change a thing

    I am going to lay down now, I have a headache.
