Bask in the luxury of being able to own a Garage Queen.
Been there, done that Guido. I had a '73 Eldo that I bought 3 years old from an engineer who worked in Chicago and took public transportation. Only drove it on weekends. I bought it with about 5000 miles on it. Wouldn't drive it in the snow and that evolved to not driving it in the rain. In the end, I think I was putting more money in insurance than in fuel. I sold it with about 44K on in in the late '70's. In the end I wound up saving it for someone else. I learned my lesson.Sure seems silly, maybe some online counseling but it's mainly the salt I hate.

Also making this mistake, I agree with these posts, 100%. It's not in your best interests. You are essentially saving your pride and joy for the next owner, who will then probably enjoy it more than you did.Realistically, I agree with Ranger. When buying and using a commodity, which most automobiles really are, you might as well get the use and enjoyment out of it yourself; it is very unlikely that anyone else will value the car's condition, and be willing to pay you for that condition. So you might as well get all the pleasure and utility out of the item yourself.
