Do you intend to own your 500 as a garage queen? No driving in rain, snow, or any type of "weather", no gravel roads AND will drive less than 1,000 miles per year.


Yes, I like having fun with polls.

I try to not drive in inclement weather so "kinda" on the driving part but not completely. Also, miles will be around 3,000 per year. Mine will be "close" to a queen but not quite.

No, I bought the car to drive, not to keep it nice and neat for the next owner.

I plan to drive it about 5000 miles a year mostly all freeway, and that's because I just don't drive a lot. It'll be garaged the entire time. I spot clean it after each time I take it out and lightly dust it, so it looks brand new all the time. That way I don't need to fully hand wash it as often, to minimize swirl marks in the clearcoat. Rain will be unavoidable someday. I'll deal with it then, and probably wash the car if it leaves enough water spots.

The corvette guys always say it's like not sleeping with your girl to keep her fresh for the next guy

Mine is my daily, but it still does not get driven very often. Introverts ftw (for mileage) lol

Answer

How about a daily driven garage queen? lol!
Mine is always garage kept, but will still be used all year long!
I really don't drive much though, like 5-6k kilometers a year.

Mine is a weekend summer / spring car. Will be garaged during the winters.

Mine is a daily driver. I intend to drive some of my other cars on some days once the novelty of this car wears off, but so far, I've been putting on about 275 miles per week. My intent to drive the car, as well as color preferences, are why I wasn't interested in a Launch Edition.

I daily mine ,my LC and Supra are the queens

CryoPerv

Just passed 2500 miles after 45 days of ownership.......so....not a garage queen...oh, and driving in inclement florida weather is a necessity. Oh, and was outside in a light hailstorm(<3/4") while I was at work the other day (Not a dimple..I checked)....
But is washed every 2 weeks, ppf'd/ceramic coated, and kept in my garage when I'm home...so.....more garage diva? garage mistress ( the bdsm kind)?.....

Intended as a driver in sun, snow, sleet, ice and rain. PPF'd and Ceramic Coated and washed regularly.

I am already thinking of how I want to spec the next one.

Relevant.

Some people may think this is funny, but this is actually how human sex traffickers think. I've seen Taken.

What I dont understand is the people who get PPF and ceramic when they already know they'll probably sell the car.

CanuckIs

I can't necessarily speak for ceramic but a car of this caliber should have PPF to protect it.

Even if its with me for 24 to 36 months, seeing rock chips on the hood knowing I could have done something about it would drive me crazy.
