How many have garage queens?

My S550 is the all season daily driver... and shares a spot...

My 94 Cobra has been the retired "garage queen" holder since 2007. Prior to that, it was garaged sporadically and was the all season daily driver. Believe it or not, the Cobra has 144k original miles - and yes, it's that clean inside, outside and under the hood all the time, even when it was the all season daily driver. I would wash that car outside in the winter and the water over entire body would freeze over like a huge icicle...

The Cobra has won plenty of shows over the last few years and still does get driven, but only on nice days and for shows.

She is parked in the garage every night, but she gets up early with me every morning to go to work.

I had a 15 GT PP that I drove daily. Had 32k on it when I traded it in a few moths ago. Now I have a 16 Roush stage 3 that I drive to work 45 mile round tip once or twice a week. It had 11500 on it when I got it two months ago and now it has 13200 on it. I try to only drive it on nice days but it's hard for me not to drive it.

Damn... some of these posts... less than 3k miles?

I had 1,400 miles in my first week and a half because I kept going for drives whenever I could.

You need to get those babies out more and enjoy it!! :ford:

While my car is a garage queen, I'll leave you with this funny quote I saw / heard somewhere about a Ferrari.

Not driving your Ferrari b/c you're keeping it in good condition for resale, is like not having sex with your wife so she'll be in better condition for her next husband! ;-) LOL

True but sometimes you know your going to be trading in your old and always breaking down wife for something younger and less headaches. Not pounding her she'll appear more attractive to some sucker that now has to deal with her problems

I bought my 2017 about a month ago. Car never sees the rain and is always parked indoors when at home. Currently has about 800 kms on her since its been raining a lot so far.

I had a 2015 Silver PP that stayed in my garage and never saw rain. It had 4000 miles after a year. I lost it in a flood along with two other cars and my house in Aug of 2016. The water came up so fast, we had no time to raise anything up. I went back for the car after I got my family out but it already started to take on water. Fast forward to today and I just purchased a 2017 Magnetic PP last month. It is my only car so I'm driving the hell out of it. I took it on a 1500 mile trip the day after I purchased it.

Took delivery of mine Jan 2016. 3600 miles so far. Never driven in the rain and stays under a cover in the garage.

And your new car thanks you for it as well with not making it stay locked up in the garage everyday. They were after all meant to be driven. Hell look at the requirements to get a GT. If you were going to put it in a bubble they wouldnt sell it to you.

is this tread intended to ask who has garage queens then bash them for how the car is used? Grow up...

I picked up my 2015 Limited on Jan 3rd, 2015. I now have just under 20k miles on it. The reason...... my DD is a 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid which now has 79K on it and I bought it 2 weeks earlier than the Mustang

2017 GT Prem PP, purchased it in Feb and its got 10k miles on it.. and thats with carpooling every other week.
