What is your oil change schedule for your garage queen?

Once a year, around anniversary of buying date. At least that's what I've done with my past cars, this one is only 8 months old, so 4 more months to go before first change.

I would do every 4,000 miles, but I'd never hit that in a year.

How do you guys discipline yourself?

I got my car in June with 18 miles on it. I just hit 17k this weekend and it's not my daily! I just can't stay out of it when I have time to drive.

My '14 GT 'vert is garaged, but it's no queen. Bought new in May 2014, it's got 18K, never seen snow, and the few times it's been rained upon is when I'm caught in an unexpected shower. Those are the exceptions and as long as it's dry and there's no snow/salt on the roads, it gets driven despite the temps as much as possible. And it's still cleaner than the day I brought it home.

Planning on ordering an '18 GT 'vert at the end of the year, hope to have it by Spring 2018, and it'll be treated no differently than my S197. A fun car isn't fun if it's not being driven.

To each his own, but I just don't get the garage queen mentality.

Just say ... my car was made to be driven .. then get in and drive it. Not much discipline needed! :cheers:

B/c my daily driver is a lot more convenient to drop the kids off in the morning (time crunch / carpool line). Its just a lot easier to get 2 kids in & out the backseat. Now if it was my only car, and I drove it to work regularly, I'd probably go out to lunch far away just so I could drive the car more.

It's my daily drive but I treat it like a garage queen. I park FAR away and wash/wax once a month.

Just put em in the trunk and pop it as you are driving through the drop off lane, Tell them "tuck n Rol, Tuck n Roll"!!!

Delivered 15 Sept 2015 and I just turned 14,900 miles. She only comes out on nice days...and car shows.

17 GT for 8 months and 1400 miles

Dude, I just looked at ALL the goodies you have on your car and have NO idea how you could have only 1,400 miles in 8 months. I would be driving the damn thing!

Apparently too busy modding instead of driving.

Same here, though I wash it more often and put C-quartz on it, so not waxing anymore.

37,000 miles, 2-1/2 years and still NO DOOR DINGS... that is from parking as far away from the dumbshits as possible, and/or finding an end spot and leaning toward the median curb.

True story....

I normally won't take my 2014 to 'soccer mom car speedway', otherwise known as Walmart. But last year on the way to a show I needed to stop there.

I parked in an almost empty lot far, far from the store with no cars near me at all. When I came out I looked off in the distance towards my space and sure as shit there was someone next to me. WTF?!?!

As I got closer I realized that it was a spotless '13 Boss 302 on my left flank. The owner spotted me, and apologized. "Hope you don't mind", he said. "Judging by the way your GT looks, I knew I'd be safe parking here."

The Boss guy essentially protected his car by protecting mine. I thanked him, saying I'd have done the same thing.

Yeah I've had that happen with Mustangs and even a Camero and Challenger or two. Drivers who've dropped some coin on their rides and want to keep them nice... we all gotta watch out for each other.
