yep. Agreed. And when you have a toy like that there is no need to bring it out in bad weather. Hell mine won't come out for another 2-3 weeks. Still salt on the roads

All I was saying was I don't understand buying a car to let it sit.
Different strokes for different blokes i guess but if I buy a car I'm gonna drive it.

Places with a lot of snow I can understand garaging a "toy" for the winter.
NC doesn't get "large" amounts of winter weather so the garaging aspect is foreign to me.

X2 I drove my first couple Mustangs as DD & will never drive another one as a year round car. A Mustang is a hand full to drive in the snow.
