This is a biased cohort. Most of the garage queen crowd doesn't foray this far into the 'Inter-Web'. They don't own computers. They read 'the paper' and watch public service television. They collect coins. They enjoy a good pipe tobacco. They do the crossword. They don't drive much and if they did, it wouldn't be anything loud and fast.

Please feel free to add to the stereotype, I'm fresh out of ideas for now.

Well, I would be considered one of the garage queen crowd. I do have a computer. Don't read the paper, that is what the internet and 24 hour news and sports is for. Hate Public Service TV. Hate smoking pipes with tobacco. Crossword puzzles hurt my brain. Drive 30K miles a year. Go to Moroso several times a year.

I usually don't buy new cars except an SUV from time to time for the shop, but the ones I buy are low mileage collector cars like 90-33 (2,670 original miles) so at that point, doesn't make much sense to drive it, just keep it as a collectable.

If I bought a new car, I would drive it. I wouldn't have been like the original two owners of 90-33 and let it sit, but at this point, keeping it low mileage makes perfect sense.

I say drive it as much as you want. Enjoy it.

I agree with the majority of the previous posts. I didn't buy my car to watch it sit in the garage every day. I once dated this girl who's dad literally had close to $15 million worth of cars just in his garage at home. That's right, $15 million. He had serveral Ferraris including a F40, F50, and F60 (Enzo) as well as many other ridiculously expensive cars. I almost had a stroke when I found out the majority of them had less than 500 miles on the odometer. Most of those cars were over 10 years old! If I ever had the money to buy an Enzo I would drive that car every stinkin' day.
