You buy these cars to drive them, not let them sit in your garage. I have a neighbor who has a pickup but refuses to use it as such... he will use his suv with a trailer to haul anything.. what's the point of having a truck ? He has kittens everytime I throw things in the back of mine ! lol.

The point is, get out there and enjoy your car ! Don't let it sit ! I know too many people with ten year old Harleys that only have 1k miles on them because they don't want to put too many miles on them, or don't want to get them dirty or some other such sillyness. I know a guy with a Viper who has the same problem, he doesn't want to put too many miles on it, again, why buy it ? My thought is unless you are buying an extremely rare car to store as an investment, drive it and enjoy !!

VROOM !!!!!!

bigger question, would you take a "lowered" 370 on a long trip.

I have KW's on my Z with a decent drop on it. I want to drive long distance, but am scared of hitting shitty roads that I am not used to. Houston is rough enough.
