That damned lawyer!!!

You should be able to enjoy the fruits of your life.

Enjoy the hell out of them.

If I had the opportunity to purchase cars like that with a wad of money to get whatever car I wanted. I would probably get a super low mile example of the choice I made and drive the fuck out of it

I usually look for the best examples I can find and then I look for a bargain on those examples. You probably don't read all the descriptions of the cars I buy (That'd take you a while and you don't have to pretend to be all that interested!) but I usually aim for stuff with fairly low miles or recently restored type of stuff.

I actually don't own many 'replicas' or 'restomods'. I want the car in its original state. I don't even want a new stereo system in them.

No, I don't want yet another LS-swapped restomod with Brembo brakes, Pirelli tires, air bags, custom interior, and Kandy Koat paint!

I want the experience of driving the original car, just like it was when it rolled off the factory floor.

And, as you know, I do drive the fuck out of my cars. Well, some of them... I'm not going to do a brake stand in a 1932 Cadillac. LOL No, no I'm not going to brake stand it. I'll probably see if I can make it spin tires and see how fast I can get to 60 mph! But, no... I'm not tossing a 1932 Caddie into the corners sideways.

But... I'll rip a $350k McLaren right fucking sideways. Traction control, you say? Well, we'll be finding out how good that traction control really is!

Oh but I do read through all the descriptions. My son does too. He was really impressed with the Lotus you bought yesterday.

And that's the way to do it.

It seems a lot of those folks who have those low mileage cars try to keep the miles low to keep the value up and never really get to enjoy the car. I imagine if they do drive them they puppy the thing along. Cause they are afraid of doing something that would diminish the value.

I wouldn't necessarily beat on the cars, just drive them a lot and enjoy them while they are being driven. That's what they were built for!

I saw that one Viper you bought had something like 1900 miles on it. Why would you buy a brand new viper and not drive it? I imagine that's cause it was purchased as an investment

I have mechanical sympathy - but I run the cars near the edge sometimes.

In my case, the miles stay low 'cause I have so many cars to drive. If I drive a new one every week, I have years before I drive them all. Shit, in this action I've already purchased more than 100 cars. (Yes, I already set up storage for 'em before I even came down here.)

I tried to buy this for 700k...

I tried buying it off the block for 750k but the dude wants 1m or higher for it. It's the only one in the US, so fuck it... I don't need a car that attracts that much attention and is that much of a certainty. At least not for a million bucks.

And, I buy some pretty sweet cars. I want them to last. I want to enjoy them. I want them to be reliable. I want to be able to hop into any one of them and drive to California and back and have to do nothing except change the oil, keep the gas topped off, and make sure my tires keep the right pressure.
