Awww, I bet its real if he says so...if not he is some kind of jerk. I know of some people who have high dollar cars that do almost get driven everyday (lets be honest, they do not drive them in the rain). I know a guy who has a killer 50 merc that has been in tons of mags and has been merc of the year..its been through 3 engines and has over 70,000 miles since the last rebuild...he goes every place in that car...local or on runs.
