There is driving and there is abusing. From the sound of it, your beyond
driving?

Hmm. So your saying that your not driving your car if your not running
into people/animals/unmovable objects? 
Ive got 230,000 miles on my 82 Roc. Raced alot of those miles, road
tripped the rest. The only dent I have was from some fuck who couldn't
back out from a parking spot. Where is the pride in that? Im still pissed
about it 3 years after the fact. All the paint chips in the front of the
car, noting pretty about that. 6 year paint job is tired and the prep job
done for the paint sucked.

I dunno man, you keep driving like a nut and you'll be lucky to last to
the end of the year.

WHO on this list has a trailer queen? I mean, *I* trailer my Roc
(probably more than anyone on this list actually) to events that are more
than 4 hours away ( if I break anything, I will still have a ride home.
Its way better than AAA+++.) but for the most part, its driven everyday. 
Just because someone takes good care of their car doesn't mean its not
driven. Look at Bretts car. Its a clean, well done car that gets driven
hard. So?

Hey, not taking sides, just looking for some clarification on your
comments.
