Thanks Ray. I know some people buy their car to drive as much as possible and I'm fine with that, for me it's a Wed night car and the odd weekend show. I love going to a show with the Mustang guys here in Calgary finding some shade and sitting all day talking cars sports girls well everything. I drove for a living for 25 years so I do not find driving a great big thrill. Had I had an inside job maybe I would want to drive more but alas I did not. There are more people like me out there than most would guess.

I guess I went the other way. I worked in a high stress IT job for 30 years then I left. I always said I wanted a no brainer job like driving a truck... boy was I wrong. I drove a dump trailer for a bit. An ugly Mack.. my surprise was the dust in the pits. I have ashma..!! Drove all kinds of trucker jobs... didn't like it. Left them all and then drove a highway coach for Coach Canada for a few years. Loved the job... hated the company. Now I drive a school bus for a great boss for 7.5 hours a day handling all special needs kids. THE BEST JOB I'VE EVER HAD.!!
The one thing I've discovered though is I love to drive... I can crawl into my new Steeda-Stang and drive the back roads for hours. Looking at farms, homes, cows, horses.. don't care what.... I find it relaxing. Mind you I'm not in the city so the driving is different. I hate the 401.. idiot street.
All to say this is why I was curious why you had such a cool car and only drove it 700kms a year... Can I borrow it....??? It needs love... I'll be kind..!!

As long as you bring it back as clean as when you picked it up. That would require a fresh wax job including the rims, under hood, trunk, door jambs, exhaust and wiping the undercarriage. If you need conformation as to the cleanliness ask Zeb951 and Kasioboy and I am quite sure they will verify my claim.
