How many have garage queens?

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.

My brother and his wife live in BR. They only got about 3 or 4" of water in their house but still trying to get the renovations finished......"stuff" can be replaced....glad you and your family got out safely....

Not a concern...paid it off when I picked it up:shrug:

Feb 2017...3500 miles...never take it out in the rain and it's never dirty.

Took delivery 3/11...320 miles.

Mine is a garage queen. Year and a half old only 7500 miles on it. I have three cars so I spread the driving around. In the summer I shuffle my 2008 Sky convertible roadster with my GT California Special and my 2012 Jeep Wrangler. In the winter the GT and roadster go to sleep and the Jeep is my DD.

mine will kind of be a garage queen. she may see 4k miles a year. 6 month out of the year I'm on one of my Harleys. I also love driving my 1997 lowered, big stereo Tahoe.

Though it wasnt my plan for this car, but after major back surgery this is the result.

2015 GT purchased October 2014 and currently has 7k on the clock !

Garage Queen

Mine would be if I had a garage. Its currently a driveway queen. Not a daily driver. Got big long term plans for her. ;)
Took delivery on 7/3 has 363 miles today 7/12

I have 19,893 miles on my 2015 LE picked up on Jan 2, 2015. To me its a garage queen but then my daily driver picked up on Dec 14th, 2014 just turned over 80k miles.

Have a 17 GT350 purchased in March 2017. 2,5xx miles on her. I have a company car for commute and a 4x4 F-150 for the deer lease and fishing. So a weekend driver and I drive it as much as I can unless it is raining. Fortunate enough to not to have to drive it in the rain. Not worried about value, just hate cleaning a car after the rain and the truck just stays dirty. The Shelby stays in a secure parking garage under the car cover when not being driven.
No winter storage here in Houston. We get to drive whatever we want all year unless it's flooding.

Ah but the more it get's used the quicker it depreciates.

Like a fine guitar. I'll pay good money and let it sit and play it very seldom. When I go to sell it because it is in pristine condition the value is much higher.

I buy a player condition guitar to trash and not worry about the resale value.

I bought mine new 18 months ago and have driven it every single day, of course down in here in sunny Florida with perfect roads helps the situation and I don't even work anymore.

back when i bought my 1994 mustang it was my only car....
i sold it with 189,000 miles on it and bought a 2001 mustang and 2001 saturn.
since then the mustangs have never been the "daily" so low mileage on all of them.
it helps when you have another car but honestly its not that i "queen" it as much as i just drive it on weekends and such. more like my getaway from the baby business and its my relax time...

Had mine since Aug 2015 and it has 10,300 miles. I drive it on the weekends or whenever I'm taking a girl somewhere.
I daily my '99 Accord to work (10 miles) or University (45 miles commute each way) and whenever I have to do errands. It's not a Shelby or a Z06 but it's nice having a little toy car.

Garage queen here. 2015 and just turned 4700 miles. Its my toy and I enjoy taking it to car shows and cruises.
