That wouldn't bother me. If I had $32,000 to spend on it I wouldn't leave it as is, the plastic and cardboard are comming off and I'm driving it like I would any other car. If you don't drive it, its virtually useless and for me it would be well worth the loss in value to experience having a new car that actually looks good unlike almost everything made after 1985. If I bought a brand new Mustang with a V6 for $35000 I could also say "If I drive it and put miles on it, it loses its uniqueness" but no one would think it strange or unreasonable to put as many miles on it as I felt like - it's no different with a Corvette like this.

You want me to generalize it more instead instead of saying "you"? I can say "this car isn't for people who want the car to use it as a car. It is no longer a car, it is a piece of art" This is the internet, don't take things so personally.

Its not for you to decide whether or not this car is for people who want the car to use it as a car, its for them to decide. You have no say in what anyone else does.

Would you be saying the same thing if I had said, somebody buy this car and drive it! Cars aren't meant to sit around like this, it's such a shame?

If I bought it, (after putting even MORE money into it to make it road worthy), I'd drive it till the wheels fell off.
Actually I'd more than likely use the 32K as a down payment on a C7 and let Jay Leno buy it.

So you are saying I can't have an opinion on the type of person that should buy this car and express that opinion on a message board?

It'd be no different than if a poster said "If I bought a car like this it'd go into storage and I'd never drive it." and then I quoted them and said "If you're going to buy a car like this and not drive it then this is not the car for you." - who am I to tell other's what they should or shouldn't do with such a car? If someone wants to buy such a car and not drive it and have it be basically useless that's for them to decide, not me. So, no I don't think its your place to specify who shouldn't buy this car. If you had said "somebody buy this car and preserve it! Such cars aren't meant to be driven." I doubt I'd have said anything.

I would have to disagree. The warranty starts on any vehicle once it has been sold and titled. I was saying if any of the cars in the original post I quoted were still on MSO and never sold, technically the manufacture would still have to honor the warranty.
If you were to buy a left over 2012 in 2013 your warranty would start in the day you buy it in 2013 not 2012. So I don't think the three years winning theory would apply to any car that has not be purchased and titled.
Your responds for the 3 years/36K I am guessing is referring to the 10 mile Corvette. I was referring to the person who posted about the untitled cars with MSO's going up for auction.
