Where would you drive a car like that then? On your driveway?

Some people don't drive them, they just enjoy working on them for the engineering aspect. Same way Linux people tinker with their setups. ;)

Some people haul them to tracks for vintage racing.

And then yes, some people drive them.

Yep, I bought a '72 Triumph GT6 a while ago and drove it just enough to get it the few miles home. That thing really was a death trap and made this 914 look brand new. This was about five years ago, and it's still not back on the road. I'm working on it as I can put money into it and enjoying every moment.

For fun, I drive my '86 Porsche 951. I put about six months of work into that, and it is reliable and drives beautifully.
