It's never been to a mall parking lot. Never driven in the rain or snow. I have a 95 neon for that. Even in Jersey, the insurance is only 450 extra for the second car. Thats less than the deductible on one insurance incident. I know it's tough not to take the car when you have it, but other people don't care about Your car. I know it's hard not to fiddle with it and make it your own, but resist the urge.
If leaving the car bone stock is what you want to do with your car, that's great. And I will never try to talk you into doing anything to it... You bought and paid for it so do with it what you will.... Please don't knock those of us that use our cars in a different way than you use yours. I have done performance mods on almost every car I have ever owned... It's like a hobby for me as is autocrossing. I bought this car because I knew from the instant I saw it that this was a car that I could really have fun with.... And that's exactly what I'm doing with it.... I'm having more fun than I have a many years!
I will grant you that your car will more than likely have a better resale value than mine will.... But I'm not selling mine (for a very long time) so for me that's not an issue.
