I drive my car any chance I get, that's weather permitting. I have put more miles on it in one year, than both past owners did combined in 5 years.

I feel there are two main factors for how much you drive. The first would be, how reliable is the car? There are plenty of bulletproof cars and there are plenty that break down a lot. My car is just about the most reliable Cobra I've seen so far, and I have no fear of breakage. That's not to say it won't happen, but some people get gun shy about driving their car after having a few bad break downs. The second factor is, how much do you REALLY like the car? Many people dream of owning a Cobra, some since their childhood (like me), but yet have never experianced one. After spending a ton of money and chasing a life long dream, some people realize that driving a Cobra is not as fun and comfortable as they thought. This IS a crude race car, after all. So you see lots of cars either sit with low miles in garages, or go up for sale soon after with no miles on them.
