Default Hardly drive your dream replica Cobra?

Hardly drive your dream replica Cobra?

I’ve wanted to ask this question for a while...

To me it is very difficult to understand why someone would dream to own, and finally obtain a nice and expensive replica Cobra and then not drive it much at all.

There are various threads where people refer to cars they just saw driving by that day, asking who it was, and someone else pops up, replies, and says "oh, that wasn't John Doe, he never drives his car..." or, "it stays in the garage because it can't get dirty, or John Doe won’t put any miles on it".

Busy - sure..., other priorities - understandable..., bad weather – understandable..., or Health issues – sorry for that and get well! But, “don't want to get it dirty”, or “don’t want to put at least a few thousand miles on it each year” ???. C'mon, they are just REPLICAS made from common parts and labor, not some sort of rare art or something…

What's the deal, maybe I just don't get it?
