who daily drives their classic ?


I can understand why some folks don't drive their cars EVERY day. You have to worry about the idiots that will park next to you (even though you choose to park at the far end of each parking lot). I don't think I've ever door dinged another vehicle in all my life. But some people have no respect for others property.

But I hate to see cars that are never enjoyed by their owners. We choose to drive ours almost every day (with the exception of the drag car). I'd rather drive them knowing that I'll have to redo the cars down the road than let them age out sitting in a garage. You hear a lot of stories about 'older restorations" that need to be re-done. A lot of those cars were rarely driven but the belts, tires, paint, and interiors still needed to be replaced/reworked.

Cash for clunkers? - Somebody should be slapped!

I got rear ended six days out of paint. New parts from AMD and on my way. I do have a game I play with my wife. I park out as far as I can which is actually good because it forces me to walk more and I like that. I take a picture of the empty lot around the Dart as I walk to the store. About a quarter of the time somebody has chosen the spot beside me so I send her both photos. Some people are idiots but I have a lot more to think about in my life. It just makes me laugh.

I've got a couple small door scuffs and a shopping cart ding but hey it's my driver. There's even a scuff on my stripe where I saw an old lady at work drive her walker along it! My wife's car has them too and it cost way more. It's proof she doesn't spend all her time in the garage.
