Default Ignoring your other vehicles?

Is anyone else having the same problem (yes, first world problem, I know) in the fact that I got my C7 back in September and I am totally ignoring my Porsche Panamera, which I also totally love. Now that I have a supercharger installed I keep grabbing the keys for my C7. I think my Panamera is starting to feel like a red headed step child.

Is anyone else on here ignoring other vehicles you also own?

Ah you are in Warm, Sunny Florida

Here in the Northeast we have not really had the time to take out toys out to play for any extended period of time ...... once the nice weather is here I intend to spend some quality time with our new Corvette

I'm originally from NJ... But moved down here in the early 90's to race motocross full time. I do not miss the winters!

Well, I am feeling a little disloyal since I traded in my '09 Z06 for a new Premier Edition Stingray Convertible.

This bit of "mourning" has kind of caught me off-guard.

Oh, well. Day 3 (406 miles): I think I'll get over it.


lisa

p.s. my '05 vert is filthy, I think I will wash her.

I feel badly too, because the Harley and Porsche are not getting enough use. I keep thinking I should leave the C7 in the garage and drive the Porsche to work for a week.

Not ignoring the Jeep. Too cold, too wet and too salty up here in the Northeast to drive the C7. The C7 only has 300 miles on it so far!

I pay plenty of attention to the C7, but not able to drive it anywhere with the winter weather hanging on. Supposed to get better next week.

Yeah I guess a lot of the northern guys are not able to drive theirs yet.

I only really get to drive my cars on the weekend due to the fact that I am in my work van during the week, but since end of September I have 6k miles on my C7, and probably less than 1000 in my Panamera.

1st day of spring, after a tough winter here in NY, I took my 2 other cars to the local car wash and had them detailed. Now they will see the auto car wash once a month. I came home and hand washed the C7 and will do that once a month till it gets to cold.

My other "car" is my wife's Suburban. Even though it didn't cost a lot less than my C7 (about $15K) I never touch it. Only time it gets washed is when she takes it through a drive through wash. Never waxed in the 9 months we've had it. But my Vette, that is less than 2 months old, already has 3-4 coats of Zaino and gets washed by hand when it needs it and dusted every day...
