When I picked her up new, she had 8 miles on her. 6 years of happy driving she now has 24K on her. Fair weather, usually top down weather. Mark

Drive the wheels off, blast down the autobahn, take it to the track, drive it to work when the BMW (POS) breaks down, beat the hell out of it. It's usually not a DD, but I don't worry about rain, if possible I avoid the snow. Life is to short to let a great car sit in the garage unused, although I do thank all of those who do. In a few years those of us that like to drive will be able to pick up cheap used cars and enjoy them much more than the origional owners.
