Isn't that like a quarter of Armando's trip to Reading and back this year?
I'm not sure if Black Beauty is his DD or not, but if not, there's a lot of pleasure miles right there in a couple of weeks, with a whole year of cruising the PCH and other things to still take into account.
That's the thing with these cars, they were built to be long distance tourers, and that's why most of us love them and want to hold onto them and keep them (or make them) nice. But we find along with enjoying driving them, especially out West where everything is big and spread out, miles can add up quick, even just for "pleasure".
These aren't the typical classics - 50's, 60's, or 70's cars that drive across town on summer weekends to the drive-in to get a burger or a 100 mile radius for a car show or two (if not trailered for that matter).
I guess therein lies a predicament for some of us - How far do we want to go to mold an early 90's Japanese car into a "classic", while weighing that against how much do we still want to enjoy driving it and enjoying it that way.
For each of us that is going to be a different equation and a different answer.
