Celica is getting sold and I'll tell my uncle that the 'Stang is gonna get daily driven into the ground!
He worked in Detroit in the automotive industry as an engineer for 40+ years. He can tell you about any car ever made. I noticed this back in October when I went to the Henry Ford Museum.
He has a 1974 Corvette Stingray, the year in which he designed the working mechanisms behind the dashboard, that he puts about 1k miles on per year. It's had tons of work to maintain it, even as little as he drives it. Not to mention it rides like a rough hog on most roads, not to mention the shitty roads in Detroit. You couldn't realistically daily drive that thing. I think he is having trouble equating a mid 2000's muscle car to his mid 1970's Corvette. Besides him, everyone else says drive it. It's a car and will be fun for me.
I've also been reading about that 2005 GT model on the internet and there are plenty of higher mileage ones still going strong and most people say the car has been very reliable. Engines nowadays are really built to last.
