I absolutely wont' take my Vert if we're going to the movies. Dinner, ok if I can see it from where I sit. Otherwise, I take the truck or the Formula. Mall? ...out of the question. Mines only gotten 7000 miles on it since 2001, and 3K of that was me last year. It's fairly clean, and I expect to keep it that way. And, I'm even worse about it now that I spent all last summer fixing every nut bolt and screw so it's perfect from stem to stern.

I try not to worry about it too much, but there's just too many people who don't care about other people stuff for me to relax when it's out.

I bought a C5 just so I don't have to worry about that stuff. Perhaps an expensive garage queen would be worth that worry but not an inexpensive C5. It's only a machine. If that's all you have to worry about life is good, you have no real problems.

It looks like we're all sick. I think about mine all the time.
