Trailer queen my behind....

I get trailer queen comments from time to time. Trailer queen she is not. I drive her all the time now that she is running so well.. Had to put the groceries in the cabin tho, worried that something might spill in the trunk...

Simply put, it is a term given to a car that is too "nice" to be daily driven. So instead, the car would be put on a trailer and treated like royalty (i.e, a queen) and towed everywhere in fear of damaging or crashing the car. I think most people who heavily modify their cars (such as Adrian) are proud to drive their cars. There are some who only tow it to shows/events and such, but I personally believe cars are meant to be driven! At least a fair amount. So if your car stays in the garage ALL the time and is only driven once in a while to be shown off, then comes a different term- "garage queen."

Adrian: It's good to see your car up and running. Your car is one of my all time favs.

I'm crazy enough to go grocery shopping in her but not crazy enough to park next to someone and take a chance with a door ding, so I park far away.. LoL

sleeper408 explained it perfectly.. I know whole story behind walmart and have seen the documentary but with publix's prices through the roof here not much of a choice.. I still go to publix for the fresh fruits, veggies and Bohr's Head but everything else is just way cheaper at walmart..

I LOVE this!!! This is so funny, I too love to bring my ride when I go food shopping. It looks hysterical loading groceries and such in the trunk of my ride.

I hope you come to some NY meets Adrian!
