It's a car. It's meant to be driven.

Plus I have to run drag radials because street tires won't stop spinning on dry pavement so no bad weather driving.

I bought my 2nd 2010 on Saturday. It had 958 miles on it. Don't know why the owner didn't drive it, but I got an almost new Mustang with a 30% discount. This Black GT won't sit in the garage as it is an early graduation present for my son.

I understand, but can't it be a blast to drive when you take it out more often than once a month? There are countless drivers on here who feel the very same every time they get in the car, in many cases daily.
Sure, but if that's the case, why not just buy something you'll be happy with for longer than two years? I saved my money and am now in the process of ordering a '13 GT500, a vehicle that will be in my garage for the rest of my life, finances willing, and I'm willing to bet it gives me that same thrill every single time I get in it. You're essentially taking the depreciation hit and playing caretaker for the guy who buys it next, as a member here pointed out. Seems kind of expensive to have a toy to look at in your garage.
Not trying to hammer you, just don't understand not driving a car that allegedly makes you feel as good as you say it does.

My car may be 8 years old, but I still hate having to drive it everyday. Eventually the miles will add up, but I plan on driving it as long as I can. I just took this picture today:

Except I don't have a Cobra
