Message	No car is too nice to drive Of course, that's a philosophy I go by and I don't expect everyone to agree. I mean, that's a big part of why these guys don't drive the cars all that much...it's just too big of a risk to them. Downright scary you might say. In my mind, anything that can be damaged by driving the car is minor compared to the fun involved. Of course, wrecking the car would be disasterous, but that's what declared value insurance is for (and on cars like that, it is a MUST). Then you can drive the piss out of it. If you scratch it, dent it, break a wheel, blow a turbo, etc then you just have to fix/replace it. This is part of owning a high performance vehicle. You'll NEVER see any cars I own in full garage status. If it isn't driven, it doesn't stay (except that damn 2+2 because I was lazy to sell it ;) Of course, it's easier to say this than it is to live by it. It takes a lot of money on upkeep to actually actively drive cars with that much done to them. At some point they cut their losses and get out...some sooner than others. Shit happens.
