Default Downtime totals

How much downtime would you guys all say your Hyundai has had total from day one of owning it until now? We all have it, especially when building the engine or doing exterior mods. Curious to see who has had the most downtime versus their cars actually seeing drive time.

I've had the red 03 Accent since new, for about 8 years now. It's been down for about 6 months total, most of which was when my timing belt snapped and I was too lazy to move any faster than that.

The longest stretch it was unable to drive was 2 days for the XD. We were doing the clutch / other crap so it stayed apart overnight.

Ive done most of my stuff over the winter in the garage when the car was hibernating, so if you figure around 3 different winter seasons...thats alot of time.
