Why own such a car and not drive it? Only reason I don't drive mine in bad weather is because it's too goddamn dangerous. Other than that.. I drive the **** out of it. I HATE seeing cars with no miles... What's the fun in telling your friends that you have a car in the garage?? I'd rather meet them at the local hangout and break some ****. Not like the cars are that goddamn expensive anyway...



Wouldn't it be safe to say that even if it's not driven, the car will still go through normal aging?
There's a letter to Road and Track this month about how happy a reader was to see paint chips on a McLaren, because that meant it was actually being driven. :bigok: [/quote]

Sweet!!!

some people just have multiple cars and own a RX-7 or a car

like it to drive on the weekends, or to meets, or shows, the beach,

**** like that, on other words, people like me, I havent driven my car since

November, but I put over 300 miles on it that day. Its nice when you dont have

to drive the car everyday and you can keep it clean and nice when it comes

time to cruise it and not just use it.

Its fair to say that a car will still age even if it just sits their. It might even have more problems since it hasn't been run much. But its the fact that it is in such condition that makes it special. On top of that it is like buying a new car! Right now I am looking for one that is bone stock. That way I know what is under the hood and I know that anything wrong with it is because it is my fault! You definately get that with this car.
