I'll admit it I'm a garage queen owner also. I don't even like to keep my car outside overnight in the summertime it spends all year in a climate controlled garage. I live at a ski resort so a ton of salt is used on my road so I put her away the first time they salt the roads (usually in nov.) and take her out after we have a good rainstorm. I'm not afraid to drive my S in the rain and I also drive it like its meant to be driven I don't baby it on the road but of course always properly warm it up and never abuse it. I bought my S new and didn't get one out of stock from a dealer I ordered the car in April of 03 car was built in may and I took delivery in June.

Hi my name is Will and I am a garage queen owner.

I bought my S in 2000 with 15 miles. It now has 22,xxx miles. She used to sit in the garage with the stock cover on her. When I got her I had another sports car so she was only brought out for special occasions. She gets more use now. I never have her in the rain. She is never driven with the top up. She doesn't come out to play in the snow. She looks new, drives new and driving it never gets old.
P.S. I am currently seeking help - I think I'll drive her today.

I drive it for fun but don't take it out if there is a chance of rain.
I do the fluids by time--- oil/filter once a year in the fall and trans, diff, clutch and brake every couple of years.

Dang.... my 00 has 112k on it..... sits in the garage for most of the winder unless thee is no slat/water/snow on the roads.... then it might come out for a drive...

I think the only time it gets rained on is at WTD and DBR events!

Change the oil every 3k and diff fluid every winter... tranny fluid every other year...

Haha! Yes! I love you guys.

I can't wait to pick up a minty 08/09 GPW in 10 years.

Having a nice car and not driving it is like marrying a beautiful woman and not f@#king her - so the next guy will.
