Hell that's what they're made for. At last years Optima Battery shootout after the SEMA show one of the competitors was a 1 owner heavily modified Cobra. The guy say he drives it regulary. The WORST thing you can do to a car (besides wrecking it) is just leting it sit.
I couldn't agree more. I've never understood people who pay hundreds of thousands or millions (Veyron) of dollars on a car and then leave it in their garage or a showroom or something. Cars are made to be driven!
As for super-rich, well, yeah, if you can afford to buy a Veyron or an Enzo and keep it insured, that's kinda a given. :P It's a good analogy to a guy I saw recently on a Modern Marvels thing about collections. In this case, the largest private airplane collection in the world (all but a few of which can actually fly! and do!). When asked about how much it costs to keep them all running, he said something along the lines of "If you have to worry about that, you can't afford to buy them anyway."
The problem is when people get these expensive cars just as a status symbol and don't really care about them.
