This.

Get it appraised, get agreed value insurance and drive it. I turned 157,000 on my Carrera this weekend. I was chatting with a guy that has a 2013 Boxster and he was afraid to drive it much because it might get a rock chip or have a wreck. If it is not totaled it can be fixed. If it is totaled, you can still buy another one. It is allowed. He wanted to look at my 30 year old car and he was amazed how clean and shiny it was. It is not a show car but I am proud of it.

I watched an episode of Chasing Classic cars this weekend. Wayne bought a car that was a 1954 with 7,000 miles. The former owner only drove it a few miles per year and kept it in a garage. The man is dead and he passed on a car to someone else to enjoy. I don't understand the point of owning a car and not driving it.
