I can see both sides of the argument between Jeff and Frank,
As for Jeff, he is working his butt off to make his dream car JL-8 a reality and is sacraficing any extras and comforts to do it as he isnt in the catagory of people who can plop down 40-60 grand to get it done at once without wondering if he will lose his house and have to live in the car while its getting done and he doesnt have the time to do it himself so when its done he wants to baby and cherrish it and keep it out of harms way because if something happens to it he has just spent the better part of his life for and on a car,
On Franks end he belives that these cars no matter what somebody paid for it or what some damn book says its worth is going to drive it the way it was designed and suppose to be driven, drive it like you stole it! If something happens you call your insurance agent up and tell him its time to enforce that giant 3 hundred buck policy you have and get it fixed.
Im more on Franks side with this, If I cant ride the piss out of it and enjoy it why bother having it, I can always go to a museum or the SCR shows and look at the cars and check them out with out having to wonder if the humidity controls in my garage are working correctly because God forbid there is moisture on the half million dollar car or worse theres some little kid walking near it with a popsickle...
We all know its more fun to drive than to trailer and wax the exhaust system all day and there are way better investments than muscle cars which are called houses.
So in the end, As Rob said, do you own your car or does it own you?
I own mine and Im going to beat her and she's gonna like it most of the time
