Default Drive it till it dies?

ok, as some of you know, i have made a massive Bubba repair--JB Welding two 4-inch cracks in my bock. anyway, i said i would try to limit my driving in it, to maybe once a week, just so i'll be able to move or transport it, if necessary. but...it is soooooo hard not to wanna be in it!
i drove it to school, votech, and pet store today, total of about an hour and a half. and...well....i wanna take it again tomorrow! i told myself not to use it too often, as i want it running for the next couple of months until i get my 427. but how can i get in my datsun again after being in a VETTE???
i'm addicted, i need serious help. :crazy: now...what should i do?

Drive it carefully. No shortage of JB Weld in the USA that I am aware of.

I would only call you "Bubba" if you also use JBW to fix your dentures. :lol:

Not driving my vette till I got the new block dropped in gave me a lot of incentive to get it done...soon...

Well i jb welded my block on both sides. about 3inch crack on each side. wanted it to last a month. a year and a half later the engine blew up after a long day of beating on it. The funny thing is that it blew up for a totally different reason.
