Exactly. Unfortunately my "...what you'll use it for the most" is mostly driving in Charleston traffic. I really need to move to the mountains.
I feel your pain Lane. I often tell people owning a speedster (for me) is a lot like sailing. Before I set out on a drive, I need to plot my course. I review the weather, and potential traffic along the routes. My drives are timed to miss as much traffic as possible along said routes.
My friends w/ modern sports cars with automatic transmissions and climate control laugh. California does have some amazing drives......just getting to these drives requires some planning when you live amongst such a large population in a small area.
