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..
That's crazy. Terrible financial decision, drive the beater.

Cars are not financial investments. Drive the thing! Why pay for car, title, insurance, etc to leave it in the garage. Sorry, the Z is not expensive and depreciation is not that significant.

In 4 years it will be worth mid teens. low teens with high mileage. So he would be saving ~$500 to $1000 a year by leaving it in the garage? Not worth it to me.

just my $0.02....

It all depends on whether or not he can afford to replace it. 34k miles/year, the car will be worthless in no time. Depreciation is not significant? On what planet? If you think his car will only be worth $4k less with over 130k on the odo, think again.
