What good is the car if you rarely drive it?

I put over 3000 miles on mine the first week I owned it. Picked it up on the way to the start of the Hot Rod Power Tour and did the long haul.
The way I look at it is unless you aren't going to drive it at all and plan on keeping it for the next 30 years there is no sense in saving it. Mod it up and drive it!

My car's been all over the country, and I don't plan on stopping. Just broke 32,000 miles last week.

I used to worry about the miles, but when it comes time to trade or sell...it doesnt seem to matter mow many. Or in my case how few miles are on the car its only worth what the market will bear. Which is usually not much.

If you were married to a supermodel, would you be afraid to put miles on her chassis?

I don't understand why you would try to NOT drive your car. I mean, unless it's a lease and you are limited on miles
