I was wanting to see how many people rarely drive their cars. For what reason and how many miles are you sitting at?

I've had my 16 GT for a year and have put 4,000 miles on it.

I'm averaging 5k miles a year and have had mine since December 2014. It's not my daily, rarely sees rain, and I have a dog that I drag around more now in my other car.

Far from a garage queen though, she sees track time 3-4 times a year.

My 15 GT has 2600 miles and I have had it for two years. My DD to work is my 96 GT. I have worked in retail for 20 years and my previous stangs have seen door dings,car keys and eggs sitting out in a busy parking lot for 9 hours. So thats why my 15 is a garage queen

I drive mine but not daily and yes she stays in the garage and that's why it will stay looking new forever:D

Mine is a garage queen. Wish I could've afforded something truly special considering how I treat it, but my car is just a run of the mill GT. I've always wanted a car that could stay pristine and never even get dirty. Now I have one. I just passed 18 months and just shy of 4K miles.

My '16 GT is a summertime toy. Only comes out from April to September. I've had her for a little over a year and just recently broke 10,000kms. I don't daily drive it, but if it's a nice day, I'll take her for a romp. My commute is only 6 minutes and luckily, I can for the most part leave the car unattended in either the back parking lot or in one of the extra-wide stalls up front.

No dings yet, but lots of unusual scratches that have mostly buffed out.

Deep Impact Blue is not an easy colour to keep clean. Last year I drove her a lot and wound up washing her almost daily - between bugs and water spots.

This year, if it rains, I take the Tiburon. Sadly, it's been raining a lot this spring.

Purchased my 15 GT PP in October 2014. 14k miles but not a queen. It's a dedicated track car. 2 to 4 days a month April to October. Fun beating up on those European cars.

Both cars are garage queens, meticulously maintained and driven early on Sunday mornings only when the weather is perfect.
I am the only driver and they are driven at my discretion.

Feb 2015... about 4500 miles
I honestly never intended for it to be a garage queen. I'm not sure how or why it became this way. I don't do a lot of driving anyway but I always take my truck when running around. I try to take the car out for pleasure but I spend a lot of time with the fam, so usually in the wife's family car.

When I do break it out I usually drive it for the rest of week as much as I can. Then it gets detailed and back under the cover till next time.

I don't feel like I'm missing out though. I do spend a lot of quality time with it in the garage

It's no fun if it sits in a garage. 2015 with just under 10,000. Share DD duties with a 2011 F-150 Ecobeast Screw.

This is one thing I've never fully understood. I mean, I don't care what people do with their cars, it's not my money, but for the most part on this site we are talking about GTs. Nothing special. Just drive it. It's not going to be some special unicorn ultra rare color/options combo in 40 years. And if it turns out to be, who cares? These aren't investments. It's not going to hold its value better because it "hasn't seen rain". I guess I just don't understand how someone can enjoy it when it's just sitting.
