Default Longest period gone without driving your ISF...

For those of you that are military, travel for work, or have a 2nd car, what's the longest period you've ever gone without taking your ISF out?

I think for me, it's been about 10 days. I have a Nissan Titan that I drive in rain or bad weather, and I think between a rainy stretch and some work travel I've kept the ISF in the garage for a week and a half. I'm going on a week without having driven my car and I'm missing it. It's nice to be able to sit behind the wheel and get excited like the first time your drove it all over again.

My `09 has 39,400 miles on the odometer.

Currently deployed and haven't driven my car or a car period in 5 months. That'll all change next week though!

2 weeks...I was in London and Edinburgh on business.

Jumped right into it for a spin the next day. I still enjoy the car as much as I did when I first purchased it, but there is nothing like the first drive.

4 weeks when someone hit my car in the metro parking lot! I was pushing a Corolla so when I did get it back it put a big smile back on my face.

Now I am moving to Germany and haven't seen or driven my car for 9 days and counting. I have no idea where it actual is in the process of being to shipped. Last time I seen it was July 17th and I left it at the vehicle processing center in Baltimore. I hope it gets delivered in one piece and no damage is done in the process. Currently pushing a Fusion with ECOBOOST, lol! I can't wait to be back in my car!!

The longest I've gone is maybe three weeks, and it's generally every year for vacation. Everytime I come back the tire pressure light comes on. Never a nail or a puncture, so after it warms up for a good twenty minutes or so, the light goes away. But it is a happier feeling once I get back into the driver seat and start her up again after a long absence.

Just bought mine on the 19th. When i get back it'll be about 5 days, I'm itching to hop in. I went on vacation but then also took it into the audio shop while I'm away; it would take 4 days in there so it worked out perfectly!
