How many Mystic Chrome owners Daily drive their cars.

[Sailing2Smth]

I fail to see the reasoning behind paying all that money for a nice car such as the Mysti, and just letting it sit in the garage all day just gawking at it. Screw that, drive that ****er, have some fun and kick some ass!

I fail to see the reasoning behind driving a car every day that has a super stiff clutch, has no traction in the rain, whose paint chips off if you look at it sideways, and gets 12mpg, when gas prices are over $2 per gallon.

Guess we all have different "reasoning", eh? In 10 years, I'll have 50,000 miles on mine, while those that were daily driven are sitting in junk yards.

I think a lot would depend upon where you live and what type of driving you do.

I live in So Cal, we average 9" per rain per YEAR. Rain isn't an issue.

The clutch is stiff, I'll give you that. Luckily I don't need to drive during rush hour traffic much. If I had to commute in rush hour traffic daily then it would probably be a different story.

I've been averaging 18 to 20 mpg but I admit that I am very easy on the car. I jump on it when I want to and cruise the rest of the time. There are so many Cops in So Cal it's too easy to get a ticket.

I think the important thing is that you enjoy your car how you want to... what ever that may be.

I must have a stong leg, or a weak clutch. I never noticed it being hard to push in.

I didn't buy mine for a daily driver, nor the stang before this one, or the stang before that one.

Makes it that much more enjoyable when you do break it out, IMO.

To each their own!!! As long as everyone is happy to own a Mystichrome Cobra...then driven a lot or very little doesn't really matter!!! As long as when you do drive it...you drive it like you stole it!!!

I drive mine as much as I can, I see no reason not to paint is paint no big deal very easy to match no different to apply

And only costs about 6 times what normal paint costs.

I'd like to avoid repainting every 3 years if possible.
