You're excused. But the rest of you....

Hehe.... you’re right. I should be driving it more during the summer. In the winter, forget it! They put more salt down than the Utah Salt Flats. My Z would turn to dust in no time. Can’t do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I drove mine all year round in AB and SK, put on 400,000kms in 6 years, sold the car to a guy that drove it to NB.

I won't be able to touch your Zs mileage, with my daily drivers no matter how long I keep them (230,000 mi.) is my highest, and the body is pretty well shot ! |

I want to keep mine pristine and beautiful. Also, If I keep myself from driving it for about a week or two it feels like a different car when I hop in it. Never gets old.

I drove mine pretty much everyday, always put a smile on my face even after 2 week road trips. But I get what you are saying.

Only put on a little over 2700 miles this year. I bought it in August of 2011 with 9100 miles on her and I only average about 2800 miles/year.
I hate not being able to drive it all year, but that's the price one pays for living in the North. Put her to bed in the garage 2 weeks ago with 28955 miles on the clock, but at least I see it every morning and evening when I leave/come home from work...

Me too! I wash the car and then cover it for a week or two at a time. If I drive it again however I won't cover it until I wash it because of dragging the dirt and dust on the paint when I put the cover back on. The car is black so you can see EVERY SINGLE imperfection. It's honestly really stressful.

My Z is a 2012 touring/sport. I bought it used off the car lot in late 2015 with 10,700 miles on it. It now has 15,900 miles and has it's regular place in my garage. I do need to drive it more, I know. And I love to drive it! The nice thing about being in SE Colorado is it doesnt snow all that much, and when it does, melts off quick. But the big plus is they dont use salt on the roads here, just gravel.
