Default Re: Kind of a sad morning for me.

You know high milers have personality; best part is who cares how much you drive it, if its dirty, scratched, etc. Guy in Crystal Lake has an original 289 Shelby Cobra(he has 2 actually)....he drives them, they are scratched, dinged, dead bugs on the front, rotted leather seat belts, but the car is "as is" from the factory. One of the coolest cars I have seen....it is gathering a history. Owning a car means nothing, but the expereinces you have with the car and memories you build are what counts.


I have hardly driven my 92 this year, but racked up miles on my 140K mile 90. I take my daughter out for for drives and that is what makes the car meaingful to me; ice cream drips on the center console, a rogue french fire under the seat....its all about the experience.
