I want it to last for ever. So I only drive on nice days. Other than that It just sits in the garage or in storage. Never in rain or snow.

Couldn't agree more. After driving a 95', 5 cylinder Volvo all week, I crave to drive my TA. If I daily drove it, I would be forced to drive it, so therefore getting bored with it fast. That would not be good.

The point is, if you daily drive the car it will not stay nice in the long term. I don't care how well you take care of it. When I say long term, I'm talking decades, not 5-10 years.

Every time I drive the car it's a special experiance, because I don't do it every day. That makes it even more fun, IMO.

Why the hell is that so hard for some people here to understand?

Add to that, when you baby the car and take it out for sunny days and special drives it becomes like your special {albeit mechanical} friend.

Crazy thing is, if I don't drive my Collector Edition for several weeks because of weather, circumstances, etc. I start seeing it in my dreams.
Guess I love that car. . . . .

I used to daily drive it but got the cavalier to drive around for most of the mileage and winter. I didn't want the camaro damaged from in the winter.
