The only thing that keeps coming to mind for me is that if I was driving 110mi/day, I'd much rather be in my Z than my wife's car. So, I vote you drive the car like you own it, enjoy your otherwise miserable drive to work and back, and just realize you're going to get every penny's worth out of your car before you replace it.

You haven't seen my drive. It's all country, mountains and back roads. It's the perfect road course and now with the Z it's unbeatable. This was by design when I moved out of Northern Va 10 years ago.

I cold never have lasted this long in a car up there.

I did not buy my car for it to sit in the driveway, or to only be driven on a clear, sunny, Saturday afternoon. I bought it to drive it, period. I have 3 cars to choose from when I drive to work, yet my Z is the ONLY choice unless it's in the shop for something.

I don't care about mpg or odometer readings. I start it up, I drive it around, and I enjoy driving it. You maintain it well, and the extra miles only hurt your resale, not the actual car.

17k miles just means you've gotten to enjoy the car about 3 times as much as the rest of us have! Sadly, it also means you're halfway done with your bumper to bumper warranty, haha!

It is so hard to resist the temptation for not driving the Z. That why today I have reached 17,000 in just 6 months time. Although I really take a good care of my car, I really do feel bad about it.

Maybe I should drive my CRV again tomorrow.. or maybe next week.. err hmm perhaps it will be my new year resolution to spare the mileage on my Z.. :(

Miles don't matter if you are keeping the car. If you maintain it, proper oil change intervals, and all the other maintenance involved (probably very little since it's a Nissan), you should enjoy the car well into the 120k+ - FWIW, I put 34k at 1 year 2 months!

You bought the car to enjoy! Have fun! :tup:

Sweet commute, as long as it isn't snowing, then you're doomed. Last winter I got stuck behind some poor lout who was trying to get up a small hill in a snowstorm here in coastal CT. Traffic was backed up for 20 mins during rush hour because this guy in a 330i on fat performance tires was sliding sideways and blocking traffic in both directions. :icon14:

Thanks guys. Man I feel better now. Although I will still try to spare the mileage on that car if I could.

Wow I have driven 4k miles in 6 months and feel I drive the Z too much. Enjoy the car, you deserve it.

Just rolled over 16,000 miles in 8 months. Long commute to work sucks but is much better when I am behind the wheel of my 370z, drive what you love!

elmz 12-10-2009 12:18 PM

Cars are made to be driven. Drive it, enjoy it, and don't look back.
