Why does putting miles on my 993 make me feel guilty?

That said, I had the same guilty feelings when I got my car a few months ago. However, I bought my car to drive, not to collect or as an investment, so I have slowly been driving her more and more and the guilt is almost completely gone. Keep driving! The enjoyment you will receive will eventually overcome the guilt.

I understand what you are saying.....but I have this friend that really opened my eyes to experiencing the joy of driving a car. He has a lamborghini diablo and a ferrari spider which he alternates as his daily drivers....he has put tons of miles on each and gets a huge thrill every morning when he climbs in and drives to work.
Do whats good for you but dont feel any guilt. enjoy life.

I agree, great post/topic. It is nice to see that I am not to only one to feel some guilt... and you know what, I think it's that little bit of guilt that makes driving it all the more rewarding. Guilty-pleasure!!

One should never feel guilty for the pure enjoyment of driving a truly great car. Sure, in the garage the car can be appreciated, but the engineering qualities are only expeerienced at 9/10s. I say drive it.
