A lot of people are sentimental about their cars. I'm one of em. Yes, they are machines but they're machines that are in our lives.It's.

Mustang.
Nothing more. Not a human, not something that has feels, not something that has good days or bad. It's a machine that only needs a bit of maintenance and mechanical sympathy.
Reg, whom I was replying to, drives an Ecoboost. Can a Mustang be more pedestrian and run-of-the-mill? And yet he thinks it needs to be a garage queen.
Good Christ people, calm down. They're machines. Nothing more.
To some people an S550 is a Porsche or a Maserati lol. Might be a little excessive obviously cuz its not but to people who have saved up their pennies for muscle car of their dreams - it's pretty important. Think about the revered muscle/sports car back in the day. An S550 Mustang would destroy almost any of those cars made back then. It's an amazing machine. But as you said, it's just a Mustang.
To others, a S550 Mustang is just another play thing until they can buy a BMW M4 or a Ford GT or whatever. Everybody is different. So I try not to downplay people's feelings toward their cars because it is real. This is why collector cars exist.
But truth to your point - it's not a collector car. Seems like a waste to keep it in the garage all the time and not drive it. There's no extra value in doing that. But I guess if you have the money and the extra cars, you could use your Mustang as your weekend carver/garage queen. I don't have that luxury and besides I'd rather drive it anyway.
