Mostly for being able to tell people "my car is in the shop".

Still looking for another for a DD, it's was such a easy car to live with everyday, I miss it for the street and road trips.

I think I use mine to hold down the garage floor.

I put under 3 miles on it last year. Hopefully this year sees some seat time; but quite frankly it seems like more of a chore and I’m usually driving something else.

What? no selection for camping vehicle? Yeah, all that stuff fit in my C5 and you can't even see the cots and cast iron dutch oven. Seriously, What can't these things do? THis was camping at Adventures on the Gourge in WV last year. It's been a long-distance touring car to OBX and Bowling Green, drive it to work, autocross car, ....heck I brought home stuff home from Home Depot that made some people in the parking lot actually come ask me how the heck I fit those 2x4s in there lol. Wait... they don't make good muddin' vehicles. I learned that at Mid Ohio last year.
