what's the point of having the car if you are not going to enjoy it?

In my opinion, you should drive it as often as you can and to hell with mileage.

I want to keep it down because its my baby! I don't like driving her in the rain or if its misty out. Althought the car is basically my daily driver, i'm starting to change that a little bit keep her garaged up a lot more with a nice thick coat of wax. I know you are suppose to enjoy the car but I want to keep the miles down to a minimum so when it comes a few years a later my car is still practically new with less than maybes fifteen thousand miles.

One thousand miles a month is a substantial amount of miles a month, the average. That's definately not saying I don't drive the car but I wan't to try and keep them low.

Do yourself a favor and don't look at the Kelly Bluebook site with those miles on it. I did and with less than half the miles you have and brother, it ain't good! I may have to supercharge mine instead of trading it for a GT next year like I had planned.
Yeah, and the dealerships do not use KBB, they value even lower!!! I took my car in a few months back because I was thinking about swapping for a GT. Trade-in was 17k. Between what I paid for it and mod's I've made to it, that was adding up to a loss of about 13k on a car I had driven for a year. Then I'm thinking, "For half that, I could have a supercharger and lots of cool mod's..." When it comes right down to it I think a supercharged V6 would be a lot more fun than a stock GT anyway

I'll probably catch it for this but I honestly like the V6 body better than the GT's. If they had a V8 in the V6 body I would like the GT more.

I like the badging and Pony grille better than the GT badging and grille too, and I cant decide if I like the painted rockers better or not.
