Default Any Garage Queens out there?

I know the numbers on this forum will be skewed compared to those on say NSXPrime, but I'm pretty curious as to how many keep their cars as Garage Queens. Primarily cause I am thinking about picking up a queen a couple years down the road while My car fulfills its destiny. But with production having stopped and no successor in sight, just having one to admire all day is nice to...

I dd mine. I'd like to have it as a garage queen sometime in the next 5 years though. Don't mind it as a dd, but its hard to boost/do some serious work on it when you have no other transportantion and its more than a weekend job.

mine is a total queen --

picked her up june 12th at 120 miles -- she has 460 miles now --

i take her out only for special rides -- where i know where i'm going, where she'll be, etc. --

i obviously don't DD her, and i am happy as a peach with her as she is --

Yup, just picked up my car 3 weeks ago (an 02 w/ 11,000 miles). But yeah, like eric said, I just drive her when I get the time and know exactly where she can be parked, etc.

I take a train to work, wife has a "practical" car (RDX) that we use for most errand running, so I drive the S typically when I'm going somewhere alone on the weekend, which is often to an autocross. 2 track days so far as well. Bought in spring '07, and has less than 5k miles total. But I do have a separate set of snow tires/wheels, so it's not a pure garage queen.

Mine used to be a garage queen (not really, I autox and track it). After sold house and moved back to parents to wait out the housing crash (looking to buy a new place), it's been sitting outside. Almost 10 years old with 45K miles.
