Thanks. Actually I don't mind storing it. Gives you something to look forward to in Spring! Plus I only put 3500 miles on it in almost 4 years!

That's a bummer. I have 48K+ miles on my Mustang and it's not quite 3 years old.

Yeah everything would rust out but your exhaust Yes it is nice to drive your car over leaving it in the garage, but there reasons why you don't sometimes. It is a shame, but you are doing the right thing Heavy

I'd still drive it and get plenty of drift practice though I haven't got the money invested you have in the looks department on my car.

Just different schools of thought I guess.

Heavy GT you have a really nice looking car with plenty of go in it I meant no disrespect with my comment.

I see how you wouldn't want to drive it in those conditions but I have driven in some nasty stuff and I like doing that because of the practice that it gives you just a quirk of mine. Obviously I would never drive if the conditions don't allow a safety margin.
