Have a 45th Anniversary camaro here. I got it Sept. 9th and will hit 4k miles this weekend. I decided that I wasn't going to garage it.

As many have said already, I bought the car to drive it. That doesn't mean I won't try to keep it looking nice, but I just can't justify that kind of money for something that sits in my garage.

The car is for me to enjoy, not just to look at but also to feel.

I have family that kind of goes overboard on collectibles in general and I think that's helped my opinion about using what I buy. It turned me off from storing something for potential future value based on seeing how they reacted to and treated things.
