There is absolutely nothing wrong with a garage queen...He never said it was a trailer queen. Its nice to see a car that is spotless and showroom fresh at a show. And unless you have 8 hours before every show to restore it...it is obvious that it is driven all the time. Plus no reason to blow it up until he does the internals or fuel delivery to match the blower...Everyone enjoys living the Camaro Life different and no one should guilt them into anything else. Believe me when I say mine is not just a garage queen...I got the rubber on the inside of the wheel wells to prove it...but it has yet to sit in a parking lot waiting for groceries.
+1! Looks awesome and I'm sure you did it right!

Great looking car, I guess you don't have to make it a daily driver, but I certainly would drive it a bit more than you do now. You only live once (hopefully for a long time), but afterwards the next owner will sure enjoy the hell out of her, make sure you do the same.

It is a really nice car, but really get out and drive it. Man, if standing on that accelerator does not get your heart working and a shit eating grin on your face, then you are dead and you need to give it to someone else that will drive it. That car was meant to be driven and crush the competition. I cannot imagine how many lonely nights that poor car has spent in your garage crying and longing to stretch her 500 horses on the street pounding the other cars into submission. I wonder if there is a Cruelty to Camaro Statute on the books. Really, just get out and drive her. Take it from an old fart, Life is too short to not enjoy it to the fullest.

I understand where you are coming from, I am pretty anal about my car also. I have never had it out in the rain or even on wet roads, stay away from dirt or gravel roads, and I will never park at a plaza, mall, large store. It stays in the garage most of the time. I do take it for weekend cruises, car shows, and for a romp down the drag strip here and there. This past weekend a rake fell off of the hanger and hit the front fender, left a nickel sized dent, I now feel like the car has lost it's viginity, lol

I feel your pain! You sound exactly like me except for the drag strip part and I've been thinking of doing that. I'm going out to the garage right now and double checking all the garden tools!!

My neighbor drives his $158K Porsche Turbo to work everyday. If you've got it, you need to drive it. What good is it sitting in the garage?

I know this may sound a little cliche , drive it like theres no tomorrow !!! ...lol Ok maybe not every time ,none of us know how much time we have on this planet , but if your like some of the guys i know. You actually enjoy just cleaning your car , and looking at it just as much as driving it , so just enjoy your camaro. It looks awesome btw.
