I'm trying to decide if I should drive my SS up to the mountains for a weeklong vacation starting saturday. Only has 2,400 miles so far. Should I try to keep miles down and store it in the garage or enjoy it and drive it?

Take it, it's a great car for a trip like that!

Took mine to the mountains as soon as I turned 1500 miles. I say take it. You won't be disappointed!

Wakemaker89 · 05-17-2012, 10:13 PM

Drive it!no sense wasting all that permagrin sitting in the garage!

skipinminn · 05-17-2012, 10:14 PM

CHRIST they are made to drive!!! I got close to 30,000 on mine

Silverlsinva · 05-17-2012, 10:14 PM

Why even own the car if ur not gonna drive and enjoy it. Do it!!

Enjoy it and drive it. As you can see in my signature I have owned a lot of cool cars, most never saw rain, most had super low miles on them, and when I sold them I didn't get a whole lot more then people who drove theirs DRIVE IT, enjoy it.

I heard it can be realllllly rough on the ass with the bucket seats on long trips. I would take'er though.

fielderLS3 · 05-17-2012, 10:19 PM

Yes, drive it. If you never drive it, why even have it?

Agreed. 6 hours in a day is about the limit I would want to go again. But, totally worth it when I got to where I was going.

I have done 10 hrs in a day. It certainly wasn't a picnic, but it was not bad. The seats are comfortable and my ipod had plenty of music.

Most important factor right there.

It is a lot more fun driving it than just looking at it sitting in the garage. Take it out for a road trip and have a great time!
