Nope..I say you are using the car for the only real value it has. Driving it. Good on you.

How to do you deal with tires and wheels between city roads and tracks? Do you have 2 sets of wheels/tires?

Removed my Center lock wheels, if you own them you know its a big deal when you do it the first time. But I have to say its quite easy once you get the hang of it.

To anyone wanting to do this soon, I documented everything on this one page - https://www.carsaddiction.com/articl...d-installation

Yep! Because when we are old and dying we will remember the times we spent exploring the limits of these cars on the track, rather then how we sold a pristine example at auction. Screw the next owner and enjoy it!

Love it! If your car doesnt have 4 digit milage, it is better to just drive the thing and enjoy it. In 5 years these things will still be worth more than today. Better to drive it and enjoy with a small net gain than store it to make a few extra bucks.
