Any Other Garage Queens? How Low Is Your Mileage
I have to admit I have a garage queen - even with the 700+ hp that my car has I have only put 550 miles on it since I bought it new in 9/09. At this point with the mileage low I know it doesnt make a lot of sense but I think want to keep it low.
Anyone else have a garage queen collecting dust like mine? How low is your mileage? What mental illness do you have like me that lets you just waste your car as I do? |

Bought mine in Nov 11' only has 2200 miles. But has only been driven 3 times in the past two months I believe.
That's not by choice though. I didn't want to bring it to school and have it get beat up in the parking lot. You should drive it though dude! That's the most enjoyable part of owning the car. I know I am itching to get back home and take her out again.

I do enjoy driving it - I must admit I also enjoy looking at it in the garage. Possibly this summer I will get some time to put a few miles on it. Speed Inc and I are in the process of building a pro touring 69 twin turbo camaro pumping out over 1000hp. I am looking forward to getting that car and putting some miles on it.
It must be an illness to buy things and not use them for thier intended purpose I dont think my car has ever seen a drop of water other than prior to me getting it. |

I drive what I feel like when I feel like it.......secret is to have a lot of choices.
I have 2 100th Anniversary Harleys, both with 1500 miles in 8 years. I expect the cars to be in the same range. |
