I say if you have the chance to drive it .....then drive it.
Just like you said, that's what makes the memories
We are only here for a short time, so make the best of it, and do what will make you happy in the end........after all, this is why we own these beauties in the first place....for the feeling it gives you while you are behind the wheel
I used to drive the piss out of my Chally. Just kept driving till I got lost, and then find my way out it it. I don't regret one second of all the miles I was able to put on it, and those are still great memories to this day
