Default Re: Drive Collector cars How Much?

How much do we get to drive them? Assuming someone would think my car is a "collector" car, I can drive it year round and put limitless miles on it. It sits outside year round, get rained on, hailed on, ice/snow, whatever, and anytime I want to go somewhere, I use the car unless I need to haul something big, then I use my 2007 F150 pickup truck which currently only has 55K miles on it. The truck mostly sits. I also have a '55 Courier sedan delivery wagon, but I quit driving it a couple years ago due to license plate fees jumping up to $151.00/year. I quit renewing license plates and also cancelled insurance on it. Both '55's were "body-off-frame" restored at one time, but I used them as daily drivers. They're mine, I built both of them and I can do what I want with 'em if it's still a free country.
Been retired since beginning of 2016, so I'm not putting 60 miles a day on the car anymore, and I rarely even leave town, so I don't put much mileage on it. I expect it will last till end of my life.
