I had a pretty nice S2000, but once I realized the joys of tracking my S2000 I gutted that thing and will continue to track this car. I guess whatever brings you joy. Hell, sometimes I can just stare at my car sitting there in the garage and it brings me joy just thinking about tracking it.

38K miles isn't production line new.

Since buying a DD, my usage is a lot like Rob's. Gotta remember, the car sits for ~6 months/yr due to weather, and then the rest of the time I don't take it out unless it's a nice, warm, sunny day. And sometimes if I have to wear a suit or other nice clothes I won't drive it, or if it's really really hot, etc. I find by eliminating times I don't want to drive the car due to those issues, it maximizes my enjoyment of when I do want to drive it. Plus, it's like a treat every time you take it out if you aren't driving it all the time. Back when it was my DD, I thought of selling it often. Now that I only drive it when I want to, I never consider it.
