Who told you to drive it in the snow, etc? Quote it for me.

Great plan. We both know how rare a thing that is. Just like I said.

Critique? Firstly, you're taking this way too personally and you're bordering on insulting me at this point. You know that a 5 Gen SS is not a collector car. And you know I take care of my car. But here you are, telling me that if I please to have a hunk of junk that's my business.

Dude. We've been friendly on this site a long time. I'm willing to scrap that if you are.

It can be done, just wrong tool for the job. Imo
I'm pretty sure how it was extracted.

Via the word "disgrace".

Im well aware your a car guy...thats why I dont understand you post. I have a friend that DD her Challenger R/T in all weather..in the summer its spotless. My point is that just because I dont drive mine in the winter you somehow made me think I thought its worth money or a collector car. I think I may have missed understood ....and you got all sensetive. We are still good my friend now I think that we sorted it out. Ps I didnt put as much effort in to my post as you did.

For some that doesn't even matter. A guy in my town drove his newer Aston Martin around in the the snow. Salt all over it. Now he has a new McLaren. Waiting for the first snow fall to see if he takes the new toy out in it.

Also depends on what you consider an investment. Anything I spend my money on is an investment. It does not matter if it increases in value over time or decreases. Also you have long term investments and short term investments.

I don't care what anyone else does or doesn't do with their vehicles. Drive it , don't drive it. I don't care if you don't ever wash it, or if you wash it three times a day. It doesn't change my life or what I do with my vehicles.
