I just traded in my 2000L for a 2001L after I logged 22k miles in 16 months. I enjoyed the heck out of driving it. I must admit, I do miss the power mine had though. Oh well, modifying a new vehicle is half the fun!!

I'm not afraid to drive my L. 32K miles in one year and two months in some of the most congested roads this country has to offer. I love it. LA has some of the worst and best of drivers, but if you give them an inch, they will hang you out to dry. Fortunately, it's hard to hang out a Lightning, seeing as they will out accelerate almost anything out there.
Like BAdAzz6516 says, sometimes you have to drive it like you stole it.

I rack the miles up at about a 1/4 mile at a time.
I used to let my cars sit all the time and never enjoyed them. It won't lose a ton of value with more miles. I would say an average of a $1500 or so for some extra miles. I've lightened up a lot with my Lightning and drive it much more than my previous cars.

Picked my L up in May of '00. Currently have 6700 miles on it. Does that mean I'm afraid to drive it? Nope, it only means that I don't have to drive it unless I feel like it. When I do drive it I enjoy the hell out of it.
There is a '01 Ranger Edge in the driveway that is my daily driver.
