How will you own your Z ?

Purely a collectors item as close to original factory specs always brings more money.

For me, I'm like Rusty... she will be with until I run out of road to keep driving her on! Some people say to me; "that car has so much power I be afraid that I would kill myself." My reply is if I die at 160 mph you can bet there will be a **** eating grin on my face when they find me!!!

I bought mine back in May of this year with 34 miles on it, 14 of which I put on it during the test drive, so 20 miles originally. Within the first two weeks, I already had an axle back exhaust on it and tinted windows. I've never considered a lease vehicle simply because it's impossible for me to leave anything stock... Ever!

I've never had a "set" period of time of when I would trade in my cars. It would just happen when it happened. And I have never completely paid off a car that I bought at a dealership (except for one), so a bank has always owned my vehicles.

I've only truly owned four vehicles, one of which was my very first vehicle when I was 17, a '91 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab that I bought outright from the dealership with part of my trust fund, an '84 Mazda RX7 that I got in trade for stock wheels and tires off of my '96 200SX SE-R, a '93 Geo Storm automatic (don't ask - also, the one and only auto I had or ever will have) and a '91 Mazda Miata that I paid cash for.

I would like to think that I'll keep my Z for a long time, and if it treats me right, I just might. I absolutely love this car and have never said or thought that about any of my other cars. But as times change, you never know what's going to happen down the road.

One thing I can say, this is the only car that I have done so many mods to in such a short period of time, and not cheap mods either! LOL
