I want them to look pristine every time I take them out, and I have other stuff to drive for everyday transportation, no use in driving these into the ground when I don't have to.
Had the last one for 3 years and put 9000 miles on it. I've had this on for 14 months, and it has 3800 miles on it. I don't drive them in the rain, I don't even drive them if it looks like it may rain, I don't leave them in parking lots, I don't drive them down ****ty roads, I don't care if it gets 15 mpg, and I don't give a **** if anyone thinks I'm crazy for treating it the way I do. I paid for it with my money, and I'll do damned well what I please with it.

In the 3 months of driving my Boss before putting her in storage while I'm in Korea, I put 4.5K miles on her. When I get to Germany I'll have a beater for the winter and rainy days.
Wait, what? First you buy a $30K garage queen, and then you don't like the drink of the gods?
You have my pity you strange strange man.

I bought her to ENJOY her not keep her locked up for someone else to enjoy later in life. I do have a paint chip on the rear that bugged the hell out of me but after some time (and touch up paint) It don't bother me as much. I enjoy driving and modding her!!!

I've had my 2011 for 5 months now, and it has 19K on it. I drive it. That's what it was meant for.
I'll be the one buying the used garage queen 3 years from now and thanking you as I drive it off in it's prestine condition, putting a ton of miles on it! I never buy new, as there's too much depreciation on the first year.

A few years ago I bought a brand new zelda package super nintendo. Within 10 mintues I had it open hooking it up to the big screen.
Bucko hit it right on the head! Its like dating a really hot girl and not having sex with her because it will hurt the value for the next buyer..

You would be better off to SELL your Mustang, go to an art gallery and put the art you bought on the walls of your favorite room. You would still have some dollars left over for numerous wine & cheese parties to display your art to friends, neighbors and acquantances.
This would be more social than just staring at your car on Friday nights with a six pack of suds worrying that it might get scratched.
