How often do you drive your car?

My IROC Is not my daily driver and all I hear is crap from my friends how I dont drive it enough. And they always say "Geez you think you got a Lamborghini or something"

Specialy because I wont drive it to school and leave it in the parking lot. Its really hard to find a IROC around here and I dont want dents or scratches from careless people in the parking lot. That and why put miles on my car just to go to school when I got another car?

Then when I do drive it all I hear is "Dude you drive this car like a grama" Just because I dont pin my car every friggin corner. I mean if a pony or sumthin wanted to race, I would. But I dont see flooring your car 15 times a night for nuttin

Sorry venting

IROC,

I've got no problem with that. My '86 has 47,000 miles, so you figure it out. I don't park where I don't feel comfortable leaving the car either. I guess that's why we probably both have NICE older cars, not sleds. That's also why I drive other cars, too. After they have beaten up and gone through several Niisans and Mousetanks, they'll still be drooling over your ThirdGen.

I fully understand your position, but this is reserved as a Technical board. This isn't really a technical question, so unfortunately I'll have to move it to the Appearnce Board, since it is more related to body preservation.
