Obviously you don't have a problem double hatting your Z as a mule:tiphat: You enjoy your Z because it's not 'bad". Most folkks do enjoy their Z. For the few selling their Z's, there is a reason but I don't believe it's because the Z is bad. I also agree with the comments in your other post for some reasons why folks purchase and sell their Z's.

Exactly what I mean. Do people really buy a sports car before they are committed to the side effects?

In some cases, yes. They have a dream to own a sports car or whatever. The deal is done and the dream is now a reality and the side effects set in. Imho, any 'dream' vehicle in order to be thoroughly enjoyed must be affordable, not come in between your significant other/family and the realization that it's not practical in the sense that it's a 'like to have' and not a necessity. Also, cars are not normally investments unless you indulge in car collecting. The early Z's are not a highly desirable collectible in general terms when compared to other '60 and early '70's vehicles such as muscle cars. That said, high performance imports are now common like the original muscle cars. So maybe 40 years down the road, the '11 Nismo or 40th Anniversary may become highly valued and sell at auction in the six figures.
