Oh sure. Actually I am not sure if anyone will even appreciate it at
all. BUT, driving it and enjoying is one thing (I love this part
really) but just looking at it and knowing that I have it is also
very rewarding to me. I am very fanatic about keeping the car as new
as possible. If I drive I get depressed about car becoming "used"
from "new" condition. You know all the dirt underneath, dust, rock
chip and seats will worn out. I just get very excited everytime I
see those "preserved" mint condition classic cars that look like
they just rolled off the assembly line. I always dreamed about
finding a old car that was never registered and never used and have
like less than few miles on it.
But it's just me. Anyway, like I said there are cars that needs to
be driven and enjoyed and there are cars that needs to be kept and
preserved. Some extremly rare models and historically significant
ones needs to be preserved no matter how depressing it is to look at
them locked inside. And driving is not the only way to enjoy fine
automobile. As an art form (not as an automobile that is designed to
run), it also should be rewarding to look at and admire it's beauty.
