Once you are truly competitive with a vehicle, the driving really does diminish. I built a wicked mustang with the sole intent of driving the wheels off it back in 2007. Early spring of that same year it landed a full spread in ForceFed Magazine and Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine. It got so much notariety it spent the next 4 years getting trailered and showed. Cruise ins and local shows I was regularly driving to became annoyances mainly because upkeeping triple black absolutley blew. I think the investment both monetarily and time wise get your brain thinkin overtime and you talk yourself out of enjoying it from behind the wheel.
