daily driving a 2012 Boss 302
I've been daily driving my 2 weeks old Mustang Boss and I plan to drive it all summer and drive my beater in the winter. I hate that I will have to put a lot of miles on it since I'll drive it pretty much every day for half of the year but I also feel like parking it and taking it out on weekends plus a few more occasions is a huge waste of such a great car. what do you guys think about that? how many park their newer Mustangs to keep the miles low?

I drive mine occasionally threw the summer months, and keep it parked in the winter.
Having a family of five helps out in one aspect lol..... but even then i like my GT to be a treat on those days i want to drive it. That is where i really love my car.
This will be one of those arguements, you watch. LOL
In short for me, i plan to keep my GT til the end, so that is how i will enjoy my car. It's not so much about the miliage, but the care on the car for long term. But when i do take my GT out, it gets used LOL!
For someone who plans on upgrading all the time, that long term plan doesn't really matter to them, so miliage, and wear, and tear are the last things on there mind.... they know they will have a new one done the road anyways.
That is just how i see it guess.

Why spend all that money and let it sit, looking nice ? Keeping it nice for the next guy who buys it when you trade it/ sell it ?? Waste of hard earned money, it's just a car, get out there and enjoy it, and let everyone else enjoy it by checking it out as you roar past. Better yet, throw me the keys and I'll drive it for you. lol

thanks for the input guys!
haha
that's exactly what goes through my head whenever I think about parking it to keep the miles low.
