Re: to drive? or not to drive?

[QUOTE=67ChevyRedneck;1831479]. . .about 7 or 8 years ago my grandpa's neighbor's barn was struck by lightning and burned to the ground... no big deal right? Inside of the barn was a FULLY PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED 1957 Ford Crown Victoria and a 1964 Chevrolet Impala bubble top. Nothing is guaranteed safe anywhere. [QUOTE]

That is a good point - and alot of other good points mentioned above. I'm eager to see pics, but have to agree with the majority that you should drive it to share it's beauty with others and to get the joy that comes with driving a fine truck.

A buddy of mine has a Plymouth Road Runner Superbird with about 53,000 original miles - it just sits in a garage - hasn't even been started in over 3 years. That beautiful rear wing hasn't seen the sun in years. We went to a car show together last year and he drooled over all the beautiful cars there and I made a point to him that he really needs to get his Superbird out for others to enjoy - no one is getting any enjoyment out of it sitting in a garage, not even him.

Anything can happen to your vehicle, heck you could keel over and die tomorrow - be a shame not to enjoy your truck - doesn't mean you have to drive it weekly, but at least get it out once or twice a month and enjoy it!
