This car is meant to be driven. I take long road trips to wherever the hell I feel like. I'm not very easy on this car but I take care of it as far as maintainence and not dropping the clutch at 4 grand. I bought it w/ 48k on the clock in 02' and now its got 126k (2-07). It's done everything I asked of it and i have no problems to report w/ my cav.
