[QUOTE="Kevins89notch, post: 5661672, member: 31255"] Well with this topic, every response will be nothing but personal opinions, but... At some point, you just gotta say "screw it" and enjoy the car. You bought the car to enjoy, right? A 93 cobra thats clean and has 100K can still fetch 10K. You could sell yours for what, 16K? Doing some quick mental math, you could drive your car for 5K miles a year for 12 years, and then hit 100K. Your cobra would have(just tossing out numbers as examples) 6K dollars in value. Thats a cost of $500 a year for 5K miles. So, $.10 a mile, but how much do you enjoy that mile. I can say honestly a mile doesn't go buy that makes me smile in my cobra. Plus, that whole setup is only if you plan on selling it. I honestly never plan on selling mine. I could let it sit for 30 years, and then tell my grandkids about its once a year car show, and tell them stories of how many times I've changed the oil. Or I could enjoy the car, and tell them stories about taking their grandmother out for a cruise, the time I jumped in the cobra, and drove6 hours to a car show simply because I had the weekend off, show them the 1/4mile slips, etc. There is a local 1971 Mach 1 with a 429 that I see at shows. It is an original owner car, with about 350K miles. Yes, thats right. It was his daily driver for 17 year or so, all while up north. The car had been painted 5 or 6 times, stolen and recovered twice, the car had gotten rusted, had sheetmetal replaced and finally stripped and restored a couple years ago. Thats my kind of guy! EDIT: just wanted to add that I hope that didn't come off wrong. I was just stating my opinion. [/QUOTE]
