I've had my '13 ZL1 for about six weeks now and it still has 8 miles on the odometer. It's under a fitted car cover parked in my garage next to the GT500.
I've had my '96 Mustang SVT Cobra (first year for the 4.6L DOHC motor and only year for color-shifting mystic paint) for more than 17 years and it still has 7 miles on the odometer. The ZL1 put me out of garage space at home, so the '96 is under a car cover in the garage at my Mom's house a couple of towns over.
All were factory-ordered with the exact colors and options I wanted. The factory plastic is still on the seats and steering wheels of all three. I saved up for a few years in between and paid cash for each one. You don't have to understand, but I love owning them and keeping them in mint condition. Every couple of weeks when I peel back the car covers and go through my regimen of starting and fully warming up the engines, I get to enjoy sitting in them and looking at them inside and out before covering them back up until the next time. If I ever have enough money to retire a few years from now, my plan is to switch insurance from comprehensive only to full coverage (my State Farm agent says he can do this for me a month at a time) and take one to local cruise nights or car shows.

Drive your damn cars man! Your actually doing more harm than good by letting them sit there,
Seems like such a waste to me, it like having a really hot girlfriend but never touching her.
