04 Evo 8 with 2k miles, should i keep it under the cover or drive it ?

Everybody is asking me why do i keep the car in the garage and not drive it, why do you keep working on it spending so much money and time and not drive it, and wow that thing is just beyond show room condition.
So should i just keep on doing what i have been doing or start driving it.

I just cant drive it, i enjoy going to the garage and just stare at it.

One last thing and dont laugh. After all these years one day i was bored and i just looked under the drivers seat and what do i see the amp cause it has the sound system and i never looked under the seat cause i figured the amp is probably built in or something. And the reason i never looked under the seat is cause, i only vacumed it once i think, was no reason for me to look under.
Thank you everyone for takeing your time to read this.

And yes i do drive my other cars and beat the crap out of them, well except the Peugeot worried if something would break cause parts are so difficult to find. Again Thank You.

Drive it! Mine has 67K miles and I also like to stare at it, but then again I bought it used with 66K miles. I've never been so excited about a car since I bought my first car in 2006.

Just drive it, unless you plan on giving it to your grand children.

You are a MENTAL case. Sell it to someone who will appreciate it! They AREN'T meant to be kept in a garage and looked at!

A wise man once said "not driving an evo is like dating a hot chick and not sleeping with her, wuts the point?" You aren't preserving anything special imo.

that is a terrible shame, these cars long for the road. Drive her! As much as i appreciate and incredible car with low miles-- she needs road time
