Who are we to judge how someone else uses and enjoys their car? Some owners are content having a shrine perpetually parked in the garage; some only drive their Corvette on Sunday morning; and, for others its a daily driver. We each enjoy our cars in our own way. When I see a Garage Queen I would, however, ask the owner if he or she truly feels they're getting the maximum enjoyment from the car that they can. For me, joy of ownership isn't in owning a Corvette....the joy of ownership comes from what you do with your Corvette. While I personally feel a car is meant to be driven I understand mileage is not a measure of enjoyment. My C6 was always a 'for fun' car.' Over the years my C6 evolved into a dedicated track car. It's no longer driven on the streets. I trailer the car to track events and I'm blessed to live in the land of year-round racing. Although I only drive the car on the weekends I run the proverbial snot out of the car. I can assure everyone what miles I put on my Corvette are a total blast. I enjoy my 'low mileage' Corvette tremendously!
We each use and enjoy our car in our own way. As long as you can honestly say you're doing everything you want with your car and you're enjoying it to the max....it's all good.

Regular maintenance plus less than $1K in actual repairs. Bought used and drove about 250K in five years - mostly for work and trips Charlotte to/from Florida.

Could not agree more. Very silly. I can't see how someone who just daily drives or takes their vette for a Sunday cruise barely exceeding the speed limit enjoys their vette more than someone who tracks or goes to the strip. That being said, I agree with post below.
