if you can't drive it is it worth owning?
I have had my 89 LX hatch 65,000 original miles for nearly two years and havn't been able to drive it because I live in Denmark and the tax is so high and gas is off the hook. I started it the other day, first time in over four months... I got magnaflows catback and it sounded so dam good that I can hardly own the car without it being my daily driver.. Does anyone else love there stang this much?

I dont know cause I get to drive mine everyday. But I hate the problems that arise in the worst possible moments. Although I do like wooping on a lot of other cars around here.

Ya I kind of know what your talking about. A lot of us store our cars in the winter and it is so hard to walk out in the garage and just see your car setting there wanting to be driven. Now it is nice out and I'm always looking for an excuse to go for a drive.

I haven't driven my '74 more than a few hundred yards at a time since I bought it because I haven't gotten it liscensed, inspected, and insured because I'm still restoring it... I'd love to be able to just take off in it whenever I want, but I'll wait, it's worth holding on to.
