When I ordered this car, I planned to make her a garage queen, when I got my VIN, I planned to make her a garage queen, when she was built, same, when she was on the train, yada yada. When I got behind the wheel and drove her, all I do is think about driving her...to work, to the store, to pick up the kids, to the beer store, anywhere, need me to get you something? I'll go. I've decided this car was made for driving, not carelessly albeit, but driven frequently as my heart desires. Life is too short. My garage is not a museum, at least not a profitable one. LOL Salud!
:cheers:

It's a car, it's meant to be driven.

Thanks for saving your money, so I don't have to.

Just can't get enuff!
To me, it's more fun driving it often or at least a few times per week as well as occasionally taking it to the track than to just let it sit and sit and sit in a garage/museum sorta thing.... but that's me.

Daily it.

Every car I've owned, even the exotics I put huge miles on. I fail to see the point of keeping it in the garage, when they'll still lose money just sitting there. Even on the Ferrari's, it's only cost me an extra few k to have thousands of extra miles of enjoyment.

Drive them, it's what they're for.

I'm convinced, but there is certainly a difference between driving it a few or several times a week, tracking it occasionally and making it your daily driver, as in your primary mode of transportation.

Why wouldn't you drive it? Garage queens are silly.

Easy, it's not like I was planning to saw my rear springs in half

I will drive it on weekends, to the coast, to the sierras, to wine country, to LA,to the track, and perhaps even on a Friday when traffic is light. But I won't be driving it in to work and slogging through an hour of traffic. Just isn't all that enjoyable to me, plus my DD has carpool access and is essentially free to drive.
