You know, you can look at some of the profiles on some of the posters on this site with phrases like 'I drive it like I stole it' and all the rest and so can you honestly say that you'd expect a better resale value on cars that have obviously been, and I'll stop short of saying abused and just say, driven spiritedly? Not saying that everyone abuses, er, drives spiritedly but people tend to know which cars are performers and which ones are grocery getters.
