Trying to keep the rock chips away. But the car is just such a pleasure and thrill to drive, I think I will drive it alot for the enjoyment, and wear be damned. Does anyone else ever feel conflicted about this?

I'm 65 and coming from the same generation of car lovers, I can assure you that you are not alone. Every car I've owned I've babied and always got top dollar at trade-in time. The 2011 Camaro 2SS I traded in didn't last a full week at the dealer before it was gone. My Corvette is driven for pleasure, but I will drive it to work on days when I know the parking lot is less crowded and after checking weather as if I were going flying. After I'm done driving for the day, the brake dust is removed from the wheels and bug splatters are removed too. I've never enjoyed driving a car as much as I've enjoyed this one!! Money well spent!!
