Like a weekend driver for now but she is replacing a 89 BMW 325is (E30) that I drove to Nova Scotia via The Cat Ferry. So next spring/summer she has some big shoes to fill. Planing a road trip.

Tweak, I do the exact same thing- except add a smile. I apologize to her if we run into traffic, bad weather or I have to let someone else drive her. Kira- my family does the exact same thing, and it drives me up a wall!!! I loaned my parents an older car one summer and we had to repaint it since Mom left it in the sun and under a tree sometimes. And Asterisk- great quote.
I had the same thing happen to me when I loaned one of my daily drivers to a family friend and my grandma. It came back so messed up that I quit driving it and just drove the SC every day.

I felt terrible the few times I ever mashed on the gas. I've only ever done it twice. I drive it slow now.

I'm going to flip this thread and say that this car has treated me like crap for two years. I'm like the guy who sticks with a cheating girlfriend. I can't wait to get rid of this nightmare and buy a new car in 2012.

I treat my SC like its a part of my body. I just dont get in and drive it, I get in and wear her! Unfortunately, she is major surgery rightnow, due to the 1JZ swap.
