I love taking it out but I only take it out when I need to(this is totally my dream car) and I really hate putting mileage on it, but its such a blast to drive.

Heck yes!! A sunny day and no chores, I like to get into the car and cruise the hills here in N. AL. Very little traffic and blacktop roads that go everywhere but straight. I'm not worried about miles because I didn't buy it to admire in the driveway. It's also a good time to listen to tunes and enjoy life.

What's the point of having this car if you don't enjoy it? I drive it for no apparent reason, and I take the long way home from everywhere just to prolong the drive. My favorite is driving somewhere completely random and finding somewhere, a town, a view, whatever, and putting it as a fix in the GPS. Then I'll come home and bring the wife out to that spot to show her. That way I get to drive even more!

I avoid driving it other times, however, when I'm going somewhere I refuse to park it: movie theater, 7-11, base commissary, or anywhere else that people have proven themselves to be door-opening or shopping cart-leaving buffoons.

The firs week I had it when ever I had to go some where I always made sure it was at least 20 miles away.

One day I drove from Richmond to Dublin (Nor Cal) just to get a slurpee at the 7 eleven. I stopped in on my parents as well...

I love this car

-KP89 be careful, no goofy acts that the older members on this board wouldn't do on the street and you should be fine
