Oh and hetfield03.....Metallica

I'd leave it home for the movie part. I wouldn't trust leaving it in a parking lot of kids & morons. just me.

Might ass well enjoy it cause your only going to lose your ASS in the end anyways. Your going to wish you drove it more when the new owner (17/18) year old punk kid is driving away in it...

In the end its a piece of metal. A meteor could fall from the sky tonight and land directly on your garage and total it and I bet you will wish you had one more time to drive it.

Life's too short - even as young as we are.

But then again, I had a girl total my GTO that I loved, so I came to terms with cars being finite, just like everything else.

But maybe you just enjoy modding cars - and if thats the case, then rock on. But in the end, make sure you're doing what you want and don't live in fear.

Drive it. Why slap a supercharger on only to let it sit. Car shows are fun but never as fun as just driving. Mine is 4 1/2 mos old and has 5,700 miles on it.

One of my 69 Camaros ended up like that. Trailer queen. It's the only way to win at the big shows, but it's not much fun. My 2010 stays in the garage when weather looks bad.

Every piece in your car begs to be driven, How can you stand not getting in and going???

4SD FED · 05-19-2011, 05:23 PM

Here is what I live by, mine is heavy modified...... I made sure I had good insurance that covered everything (90k) and then I'm going to drive it till it need a new paint job. No reason to invest all that money to have it parked in the garage

+1 I'm a freak in the parking lot... Gotta go the absolute farthest spot with no surrounding cars. Once I took two spots at the grocery store, I come back to find a dude by my car. I thought he was admiring it. Turns out he wanted to bitch at me and question why my car was more special than anyone elses. The thing was, I was already in the corner of the parking lot where no one was anyway. Not like was preventing someone from parking. Dude was a spaz and jealous of my fine ride.

You just gotta decide one thing. Do you own the car or does it own you?

rallysport2010 · 05-19-2011, 05:46 PM

be proud, let everyone enjoy the work you put into it, looks awesome.

I'd drive it everyday and wouldn't think twice.

My neighbor drives his $158K Porsche Turbo to work everyday. If you've got it, you need to drive it. What good is it sitting in the garage?
