Re: Garage queens? (95AquaC4)
Guess I have to admit to my guilt. But, in my defense, the underhood area is nearly spotless and it just takes too much time to wash the entire car, in and around, that driving it on nice days makes more sense.
To some a car is just a car and it gets them from point A to point B. To others a car is a rolling work of art that one takes pride and joy in. In the long run, all that matters is that you're happy!

Re: Garage queens? (fast90)
Mine spends most of it's life in the garage, but I would not say it is a garage queen. I am just saving her for special times. ;) I do not fret the rain because the car will get dirty, but because my rear Nitto's look more like Drag slicks and going over 30-35 in the rain on them is impossible. The safety factor kicks in somewhere and says "avoid the rain".
If you leave the show while it rains, the car gets more dirty than if you stay and wait for the roads to dry ;).
guilty, but i wont leave the show early if it rains.

'87 is a true garage queen, having logged 4500 miles in a year and a half.
'94 is driven all the time. Ive put 7 thousand miles on it in six months.

Cars that stay in the garage 99% of the time. If there is a chance that only one drop of rain will fall, the car stays put.

How about Elton John and Rock Hudson , sitting in their car, in the garage waving to Liberache.. Probably spelled that one wrong.

Re: Garage queens? (95AquaC4)
A Vette owner who only has a Vette to show it off to other people. Like a piece of art, only for regular guys. Ie- friends come over for a BBQ and Beers, you head out to the garage to "show off" the Vette. You don't drive it, just start it up and then talk about it. I have NP, with ppl like that, but it ain't me. I love my Vette and I drive my Vette.
