PEOPLE NEVER PREDICT THE FUTURE so love and enjoy what you have right in front of you P.S i have a friend his uncle having junk yard he bought all of any total lost cars and re-sell for parts one time he bought the car its total lost but the sits it look so brand new because the owner using protected cover he were like excited because the previous owner have save the sits that he could re-sell like $350 each that make me laugh so hard because the owner try to keep it as new but the car is gone and thats make people from junk yard are having profits
I do agree with u but hey sale car so I gotta be all over meeting people bc of the car I have parked at different places there is no way I will take a v8 just to drive around to meet clients having others cars I could use to get to the place plus I save money in the gas and I don't like to be getting people I don't know In the car and by not driving it everyday the chances of the car getting total like u said which it can happen any day I'm with u in that but the chances are so LOW that ufff I don't see that happening cross my fingers... If that get to happens things happens for a reason as long as i stay alive and still able to drive again I'm good I can always get another one or better one and start all over if I work hard for it but I feel u tho

Default Yes F is my DD

14 miles round trip per day. Just enough to warm it up enough have fun and appreciate the car. Especially on the way in to the office (leave at 5am), not too many people on the roads near where I live at that hour.

I really try to drive the F every chance I get but only in good weather (dry, 50+ deg). If it's colder out, I'll just drive to get it up to operating temp and go home. You really can't push it even if the ground is a little wet, it's just not safe or fun. Having the F is fun but a huge headache especially when you want to take it out but need to make sure the parking situation is OK. Google Earth is my best friend when I'm going somewhere for the first time with the F... so I can make sure the area is safe and parking situation is perfect!

Drive her daily - only about 4-5 mi or so total.

I have to take her out on weekend errands taking the long way in order to get some good seat time in her

no, I'm not retired - far, far from it.


Oh, I do not take her to professional sporting events or similar venues where some goon may force you to park where THEY want you to park. I don't take her out of town. When I do go across the city (Hou. ) I can totally see how going out of town would result in shorter commute times and possible tickets - she really likes to stretch her legs.....

Thank goodness for the large family suv for those things^^

My matador is a weekend ride. Can't afford new tires and wheel alignment every month with all the potholes in NJ.

I drive mine daily during the week on a roughly 15 mile round trip commute to the train station. Every once in a while I take it out early Saturday or Sunday morning to open her up on the NJ Turnpike (since I sit in stop n go traffic during the week). Other than that, weekends are all about the family car.
