You're all right - it is just a car, but to me it's my dream car and my pleasure vehicle. Since going to work is not a pleasure, I would prefer to reserve my pleasure vehicle for my pleasant times.

I keep it clean because it gives me pleasure to see it that way.

I'm not critical of those that drive their Corvettes every day - why do those that drive theirs everyday feel compelled to criticize those of us that chose to keep it in the garage and drive it weekends? Why do they care what I do with my car.....jealousy perhaps?

maybe because there are different people on different forums and you can get different opinions?

I didn't mean you - I was referring to the people that drive their cars every day and feel compelled to refer to those who don't as not true enthusiasts, etc.

Frankly - as long as I'm paying the bills and not getting $$$$ from anyone else, they have no right to an opinion as to how I use my car. Believe me, this in not the first time this question has ever come up.
