I have Fwd beater, but drive that on shity days. I don't p@@@yfoot my Z either. It feels better unleashed. I remember 1 thing my grandfather told me,"you only live once and you cant take it with ya when your gone. So with that's said I'm not gonna worry about the petty things in life. Especially not a sports car. That's just silly to me. Same mentality if I owned a GT-R. If I had money to purchase 1 then i have the money fix it if it breaks. Omg! Where did this chip in the paint come from?! Auhh..it's a car and meant to happen? Lol
The Z isn't a collectors piece. Im sure the majority of 370owners are already waiting for the 380z or the next Z to come out. Sorry if I hurt some garage members feelings here. I just don't get it. This car is to much fun not to drive.

For me its not about trying to keep the miles down on my Nismo, or make it into a garage queen... its just a very impractical car. I'm not going to daily drive a 2 seat sports car that I can't hardly even fit anything in it. Plus I live in WA state where it rains almost daily during the winter/fall months, not a good combo when you have summer performance tires on it.

It all depends on your definition of practical. I use mine for everything, including grocery shopping. I find I can hold a weeks worth of groceries just fine. It can also hold the luggage for me and my g/f when we go on trips. I live in Florida where it rains quite a bit as well, and while driving in the rain isn't my favorite activity, it's certainly liveable even with RE-11's and turbos.

So for me, it's practical enough. To me an extra 2 seats or more cargo space that I don't use would just be wasted.

I understand what you are saying... but I doubt Florida gets much snow:p. It depends on everybody's situation... I own a truck.. which is 100x's more comfortable to me to DD than the Niz.

Not much snow here. And I'll agree with you that the ride can be a bit harsh. Everyone else is fine with the roads, whereas I want to find the people who work on the roads here and yell at them for not being able to make them smoother.

Wow, that is definitely a garage queen. I remember when I was shopping around for a Viper GTS, I found a 97 with only 3k miles on it :eek:.. I don't know how you guys do it, lol.
