Why do these posts always go down hill? It happens over and over again. Someone asks a simple question and it turns negative. For those of you who drive your car on a daily basis, God bless you. For those of you who have garage queens, God bless you. Personally, I couldn't care one way or another if you drive your car or not. If driving your car every day is what makes you happy, that's great. If you only drive it once a week or even less, that's fine with me. It's odd that we all share the same passion, and yet we're critical of how someone else enjoys their car. If it makes you happy . . . that's all that counts.
