Aww, mann... it ain't like that! My Ranger is a 2000 with 145K miles on it. It's in really good shape and was well maintained, but it still qualifies as a $3,000 paid-in-cash beater.

Me, I love the idea of taking my Z on a ski trip, equipped with snow tires and a roof rack. I'm likely going to get a trunk rack for my S2000 for trips when the trunk space is not enough. All my cars see snow. All my cars serve as pickup trucks from time to time... that's how I roll and I love it.

Aside from not wanting to drive my Z in PA's winter, mainly to avoid the salt and other crap on the road, being a homeowner who is really into his yard and other home improvements makes something more "utilitarian" than the Z and absolute necessity.
That said, I regularly take my Z to the airport with my luggage and I can fit my light kit and stands in the hatch when everything is arranged correctly. All those years of playing Tetris paid off for something. My beauty dish does have to ride in the passenger seat, though.
Can I live with my Z as a daily driver? Sure! But it's easier to go to Costco in the truck

I just always get a laugh out of the hardcore folks who seem to get really upset if they see people using their Zs as anything but Sunday drivers. Whenever we see a bike rack thread it turns into a flame fest.

My 370 was the test car for the Boofsquire roof rack.
