2016 Mustang GT 6 Speed Magnetic Metallic
2016 GT, bought around Nov 2015...sitting at about 6700 miles....drive it usually on the weekends....I like to keep it looking and feeling as new as possible..

I understand that some do not get why some us do not drive it everyday...I get it"s just a GT, not a Ferrari...but you see...for me...I cant afford to get one every few years....this is my first and maybe even my last...for me it might as well be a Ferrari...I dont want to get dings and dents or any of that..

I would like to pull the car out 10 years from now and when people look at it...say...wow...that Nustang still looks good.....also

It helps with maintenance...so far Ive had one oil change....probably coming up on 2nd....also helps with less tire wear...dont have to get new tires every year or every other year....and other maintenance items..

Well thats my argument

Funny thing is...my DD.....2010 Subaru Forester 5 Speed...I would like to put as much miles on it as possible...hope I can reach atleast 300k...at 152k...so far

2016 Mustang GT PP
2016 GT PP, purchased March 13 2016. Currently at 840 miles. Not trying to keep miles off of it, but work truck during the week and being busy with kids on the weekend keeps the miles low. On the positive side, my wife and I are taking it on a 500 mile round trip cruise this weekend!

2015 GT, purchased Feb 2015. ~18,300 miles. 6500 of those miles are from 4 road trips, otherwise I'd be under 12k. Not quite a garage queen, but definitely less miles than any other car I've owned. I travel a lot for work, leaving the car in the garage at home, and I also bought a second vehicle last August so I don't have to drive it when there's a threat of severe weather or shopping carts.

2016 GT PP that I bought Sept 2016 with 80 miles at delivery. Sitting around 2k right now. It is not my DD, I live in the damn Midwest, and I have the car because it makes me smile. Big smiles when I see it parked in my garage, touch it, clean it, love it AND DRIVE IT. Later.

The original owner of my 500 had put 6606 on it in 4 years. I've done about the same in a year. (just hit 13000)

Never understood spending money on something that just sits there the majority of the time:crazy:

Mine came with windows that go up and down and windshield wipers for when its raining oh and it has tires that hold air. So I use it for what it was intended to be used for. Bought September 15, just turned over 45,000 miles. How else can you smile for 45k miles driving something you dont love. I have a model of my car that I keep inside though...

Mine is definately not a garage queen, more like a streetwalker... ;)

25k in two years. Not tons of miles, but ALL of them were fun!
