I definitely bought mine to drive.

I don't have collector plates on it, which would be a lot cheaper, because of the restrictions on when and where you can drive it.

And I love driving it. Just before Christmas, I took it to my my wife's work Christmas party at the Ocean Pointe Resort here in downtown Victoria. Unfortunately there was no opportunity for a grand entrance, as we took it into the underground parking, but I'm sure it was noticed. The way home was another story.

We headed home around 11:30pm, taking the Johnson Street bridge into Old Town, and had to stop for a red light at Government Street. As it rumbled at the red light, a group of about a half dozen twenty-somethings noticed, and started jumping up and down, cheering and whistling. They kept this up for the whole duration of the red light.

In my wing collar and black bow tie I smiled at them and signed thumbs up, gave the wheels and tires a few rotations (easy on the wet pavement), and slowly drove away in first gear to their cheers.

Just doing my part to show the colors. Smiler

Man, I love driving this car!
