A tow bar is great insurance against touch parkers.
I do miss driving-push starting my Esky every morning.

When my RS has rego it gets used for everything except for driving to work, otherwise its the AU Wagon. I tend to drive my Falcon because of the idiots on the road, if I get taken out while driving it I won't care as much as I would with the RS.

We only put this on the road last year to be a daily driver. To and from uni every day, to and from work, the occasional cruise, and the odd track day. What more does an 18 year old need!!

I'm a daily driver.  Mk1 2 door, cranky 2lt.  
I agree, i never see any on the roads... sad but i understand why the attraction of the 90 day club plates and the growing value and expenses of keeping these on the road would deter people form using full rego.  I'm a firm believer that cars are meant to be driven... not stashed away for years under covers.  If that means rebuilding them more often... thats ok... at least we're having fun in them... right?
Maybe the answer is getting four cars on 90 days, and using them on rotation?  still cheaper than one full rego! (insurance aside)

hahaha, my friend would go "turning on the air con" while winding down the window.
But I do agree cars are meant to be driven, but sadly due to work problems mine doesn't have rego.

I've got one on daily duties at the moment. It generally doesn't get driven alot, then goes out of rego until I need to modify and or fix my 4wd again.
