Several threads on this forum have addressed the issue of driving the car hard and routinely to keep it in its best running condition.
After some reflection (with motorcycles) I think I might have to concur. However, I don't have much bases for this . . . only that most times I encountered a problem with a bike it was after I had let it sit.
Anybody got any real data on this as it seems to counter the resale value . . . even unscientific stuff, like drive hard for x amount of miles a many days a week. ????

I could care less about "resale value". I'm more concerned with "maximum joy extraction". I am strongly in the "drive it like it was meant to be driven" camp.
