Ah, well that's a different story then. ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
I enjoy driving F-bodies too. That's why I picked up a second one for DD duties that had already been exposed to bad weather for many years. No guilt there.
Guess that's why I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything; one F-body stays a mint garage queen while I drive the **** out of my other F-body.

I wish I knew whos car that is I would go shake his hand for actually driving it. I really dont see a point in having a nice car and not driving it. Its a piece of metal and for the most part cars depreciate, you cant take it with you when you die so might as well enjoy it as much as you can

yup i guess you coud say both my cars are garage queens the 01 comes out to play a couple times a month but the comp hardly ever moves but they're factory modified SLP cars, im hoping one day the comp will be like the old yenko camaros, plus its a 96 and its never been touched or wrecked car doesn't even have orange peel in the paint job it's one of the cleanest factory cars i've ever seen, i would cry if something happened to that car. i have an (07 chevy crew cab, 02 GMC(wifes trucks)), 97 f-150 lariat for a beater and she keeps on goin cause in houston with the roads and drivers we have here its not the friendliest place to lowered modified cars, plus traffic sucks when your in a six speed with a huge cam and an after market clutch. i bought my wife a fun truck 02 GMC in case the 07chevy i bought her breaks down, just so she wouldn't ask to drive one of my TA's.lolol plus now i have an excuss to mod the 02 GMC so she will come to the drag stip with me cause she has her little "hot rod" truck plus if the ford breaks i can drive the GMC. either way im not DD either one of my cars.

I'm one of the guys that enjoys having a garage queen or two. It's not about the monetary value though, as none of my cars are super rare or collectible. It's just that I like them to look their best for all the weekend cruise events, car shows, or just summer drives that I use them for. It's not like they never get driven, I just choose to keep them out of bad weather so they stay new looking for many years to come.
I agree that it's pretty much a waste to buy a car and literally put it in a bubble and never drive it. Unless you can afford to have a few fun/cool cars, and you're keeping the non-driver as a 100% collector showcar.

It might be his only car. If it has 100k miles on it, it is worthless as a collector anyway. It should actually make the guys with low mileage, mint CETAs smile. There is one less valuable one out there.

I know what you mean about that. Not all factory paint jobs are created equal. My '98 is the same way, the factory paint is as smooth looking as glass, whereas on my '02 car you can see plenty of factory orange peel.

If i were wealthy I would daily drive a Lamborghini. Does that make me stupid? Or does it make you stupid for having your car sitting in the garage half the year? I daily drive my z28 because I love it and I want to and when I'm older I will restore it and then buy a Vette' to daily drive.
It's a shame that some of these cars are garage queens or "nice weather only" cars.

That's just it. Some people just see a vehicle no matter what it is as "just a car". Is there anything wrong with it? I guess not. It's their car and they can treat it how they want to but it does bring a little sadness to my heart when I see a rare or nice car filthy, banged up and neglected.
The hotel I stay at in Delray Beach FL is in an expensive part of town and has valet parking. Last time I was there there was a Bentley, a Lambo and a Ferrari parked out front. The Lambo looked like somebody lived in it. Soda bottles, trash and clothes EVERYWHERE.![Nono](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/nono.gif)
I just shook my head and kept walking

So your brand new, unused ****'s sitting rotting away, and this car is being used and rotting away. I thought all you guys moved here to Florida to **** and moan, typical new yorker, got their nose shoved straight up everyone elses ***. Mind your own ******* business.

Garage queen, no insurance, quick ride around the block.
Guess what his window sticker is worth. Hell the guy himself is lucky to be alive.
So....20 years from now you get t boned. Then what.
Your memories of the car are going to consist of cleaning it and looking at it. Wow.

I witnessed a nice Black TA of some sort wrap itself around a utility pole. Garage queen, the guy decided to take it out and run it one time, missed a stop sign and ran an intersection. Much to my surprise he got t boned running across traffic.
