I'm with you Greg, cars were designed to be driven. If they weren't
they would make them where they did not work because it would be
cheaper. Society also needs the pristine cars though. Those cars will
last longer than driven cars most likely and will be infalueble in
say 50 or 60 years when the driven cars are past the poin of return
or wrecked.
Ken has a 170 mile car? I didn't know that. Which Ken is it? Sounds
pretty cool. I for one could not do that, keep a car with only 170
miles on it. I don't have the self discipline to just look at it.
