Before I bought it, I said I would " drive it ". Then I got it, and I got paranoid, and suddenly every road within 50 miles had stones all over the place. Then they " oiled and chipped " the road leading from my subdivision to the rest of the world, and I was held hostage for 2 months during the best driving weather. What am I, crazy? Yeah, I guess so. I am still trying to get over my fear of going out and getting "chipped", but as so many rightly point out, if you drive it, it's going to get hurt. So, I am trying to steel myself to take the car to the 33rd Shelby Convention ( in NJ - relatively close by ), and to Rally 3 - relatively far away, but thanks to GTJOEY it seems doable , and to just ENJOY. I am not getting any younger - just need to get smarter and get over it. Hope to see you guys in Vagas.
