Unless you've got $21K burning a hole in your pocket to buy a car and NOT drive it, then drive the mutha. My brand new '93 GT I use to own I treated the same way as my Mach. I drove it when I felt the need, made afew long roadtrips, and hundreds of 65 mile trips to my home town, and kept it in spotless condition. I only racked up 54,000 miles on that GT in the 9 years I owned it. That's still nothing for mileage and I enjoyed the hell out of that car. My Mach has 17K on it and I enjoy it also. Collector status, that should be the last thing to think about. Their are so many Mach owners on Mach1registry that talk about collector status, and then a week later their selling their Mach. Just enjoy while you own it, because most people will sell their Mach within afew years for something else.
