Yeah I went to WV last month and made the trip in record time. We’re going again next weekend.

My daughter and her husband love it there, both of them grew up here in NYC and after two years in VA they don't want to ever come back at all. That being said, I was under impression that VA started to open up, but that wasn't the case, everything is shut down. Overall though people are a lot less paranoid than New Yorkers, I saw many people without masks in public and just more relaxed overall. In NYC it's pretty tense right now.

Northern VA is still shut down, the rest of the state is opening up. Northern VA is slated for the 29th

I agree. I do that. Just traded my 2010 ES for a 2020 at the end of December 2019. Haven't drived it much, but love that it really doesn't matter as long as I maintain it well. Hoping that this one will last as long.

It means I got a really good deal on my RCF and gas is cheap!

Hope so. It will be just great to get back into the indoor pools once again at the recreation-centers (my local rec-center is fortunate enough have a beautiful Olympic-size pool). Hopefully, while the centers were shut down, they deep-cleaned/disinfected the locker-rooms and all of the shower-stalls, once and for all, and got rid of all that fungus that causes Athlete's Foot and toenail/jock-infections (Public locker rooms are notorious for that).

One long-range trend we may be seeing from less driving (besides the lower gas prices) is lower insurance as well. My brother, for example, is with Allstate, and, even though he's already got one partial-refund from them, they notified him again, yesterday, that another one is also coming. I myself got a 15% refund from GEICO last month.

We’re huge pool people with the kids, so we want pools open too. We’re going down to WV this weekend, and our plan is to stay on the road if they’re not going to open pools. Go somewhere every other week or so, beach, WV, other places.

Except that its dropping in value even more every month than someone's lease payment costs 
Not that you should worry about that, it is what it is. But the difference from owning outright to leasing in the "I'm not using it" category is just a mental thing. The cost is the same or more.
