Normally I'd agree, but this is an exception. 99% of ITRs have been well driven to say the least, me thinks. This is one of the VERY FEW that will hopefully last a few generations and still be like new, for history's sake. Of the over 4000 ITRs to make it to our shores, we can save a few ultra-low mileage ones.98 CW ITR 322 wrote:No, not just you.

ITR's should be driven, FAST!
Should a sexy, totally hot woman like Dawn (just saw your pics on myspace DDOW!) be kept a virgin just because she's a sexy, totally hot woman? FTW!
And do I get points for comparing Dawn to an ITR? Finest handling car I've ever owned = Finest gurl in all of Alberta, would probably kick Danica Patricks' ass on the track or in a bar, turbo polisher extrordinaire, igloo builder, destroyer of worlds.
Ahhh the rant is complete, I think

But to some, this particular ITR's value as a perfect specimen is greater than it's thrill value on the street or the track.Erik95LS wrote:No museum would want it.

Oh of course. I just really can't see an ITR as a collector car. I'd feel really bad for an ITR that just sat, no matter what its worth. I feel the same way about classic Ferarris, muscle cars, and race cars. To me, they should all be driven. I'm the type that would buy a Porsche 959 and drive it everyday if it was feasable.Doespike wrote:

true and that would be great. Although I'd take it to a track alot more than 1-2 times a year Not to mention it certainly wouldn't be stock. I don't know....Dave_B wrote:Erik, I agree it should be driven to a point. Think, if it's got 3k on the clock now, and I put say 1k a year on it. In 10 years it will still be a 98 car, only it will have 13k on it which by todays standards is still rediculously low.

I was thinking more along the lines of HSR races.

LOL. Um, you got half of that right. d00d, I'm in one of the raver (or it used to be at least) capitals of the world. A lot of great DJ's came from here. But I listened to "electronic" music back in the rollerskating days.Erik95LS wrote:Dave I would've never guess you'd been a young raver girlDave_B wrote:LOL @ teh language talk.
