My 06 is spending the winter in my garage. I feel like she spends more time in the garage than on the road. Only 38,000km on the odometer.

Whats the point of having a car and not using it? Not like these things are going to be worth loads of money in the future. I could understand if you drove something rare and in low production numbers but to each his own.

Mine is about to go to sleep for a few months until March or so..

Storage is expensive

Debating if i should fog the engine to prevent rust on the cylinders, it's a pain in the ***.

Garage queen? Are you joking? An 06 with 45K miles and you think it's a garage queen?????

Check out the "How many miles do you have on your '03..." thread. There are quite a few that recently posted miles under 10K.

It's just another 2006 Z, it's not going to be worth a whole hell of a lot in the future, the OP should just enjoy driving it instead of just looking at it.

All of you stop posting. Really. You're embarrassing yourselves. None of you have what qualifies as a garage queen. Apparently you have no idea what one is.

Look in this thread...
https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...2003-350z.html
... at these '03 cars with this stated mileage.

DaytonaBlonde = 7,800
unit5alive = 5,799
Dean = 4,408
raycs7 = 980 (no typo!!!)

alright man u can relax. i bought it used n had it for a year. im just seeing how many miles people got on there cars thats all. ps i never said my car was a garage queen. just wanted to see if there are any out there?

whats the point?

protect the paint, wearable items- engine, transmission, brakes, suspension everything basically. just to have the car in a couple years and have low miles on it then if i didnt garage it. i guess if u wanna drive the car with a ton of miles on it. i plan on keepin it forever.

Mine stays in the batcave because I can enjoy a trip around the block and a good washjob as much as a long drive or cruise now a days.

sounds like someone is having their time of the month.

I tried to keep the mileage down on mine as much as possible, driving my old car several times a week. Now that my roommate wrecked it (see here) my Z is a DD. Mileage has gone up a lot faster :/

Guess I'm a loser...
