I find myself driving mine less & less with each passing year. Perhaps I worry too much... where am I going, where is it going to be parked, am I going to be able to keep an eye on it, etc. There's just too many people with no respect for OPP (other people's property!)

After 3 years of ownership, I've put about 3500 miles on it- most of that during the first two years. And I find myself with less and less free time available to drive it... too many things to do around the house... more weekends out of town, where I can't take the Backdraft due to a lack of secure parking. Plus, I have two other vehicles to maintain, and possibly a third on the way. My life's events are conspiring to keep me out of the Backdraft as much as I should be. As of late, I find myself driving it more out of a sense of obligation, i.e. ... gee, haven't had it out in a month... better take it for a spin.

Have thought of selling it on occasion... but have yet to bring myself to do it. It was always a dream car of mine... not sure if I hang onto it because of that, or because it's such an iconic, macho, "image" car. I definitely get a kick out of owning/driving it, but not sure if I enjoy it enough to justify keeping it. But whatever... my options are open... don't have to sell it, so will continue to drive/enjoy it for the time being.
