Silly Little Question about your 370
 
Ok it's silly but here goes. So i'm going out of town for a few days and i will be without my beloved 370 for a week. It's my DD so i'm in it a lot. Bought it back in May. so it got me to thinking what has been the longest amount of tme between days that i did not start or drive my car? It's stupid i know.

anyway for me by the time i get back it will be 8 days without starting or driving my 370. how about you guys whats the longest for you.

3-4 weeks. I rarely drive it on the street during track season

Mine is about to go under a cover for a few weeks. I don't know how I'll cope.

mick 12-25-2010 08:11 PM

do you guys know how many weeks the battery would last if you don't drive the car?

Junior370z 12-25-2010 08:32 PM

I change my battery because my car didn't start hen I came back. I thought about charging it but figured the battery was already bad after sitting for so long. Forgot to disconnect it before I left.

Xan 12-25-2010 08:51 PM

Anybody add fuel stabilizer when you leave it sitting for a longer amount of time?

Thanks. Doesnt matter if its a day or months. The feeling is the same. I just got back 3 weeks ago from a 3 month tasking on the other side of the country. It sucked being away from my truck and my bike. I left on Aug 29th, so there was still tons of riding time. Got to the base where i was going to be working at, still seen tons of bikes and nice trucks around, it was killing me. Not to mention when the winter weather finally did hit, the old stock battery in the truck finally took a dump, so when i landed that night it was -20*C...i was out in the parking lot, replacing the battery. Truck sounded like a tank when it first fired up, haha.

7 month deployment to Iraq was the longest so far. Now it is parked for winter so I am hurtin right now!!

I have her torn apart in the garage doing some suspension upgrades and put my exhaust on last week. So I do spend some quality time with her ;)

I haven't driven a Z for... [stops, thinks about it... thinks so more... picks nose, does NOT eat buggers. Stopped doing that LONG ago...] 13 years!

I was thinking, as I was driving into work this morning (me and about 3 other people apparently, since NO ONE is here) that this particular corner on my route would be awesome to take at high speed in a Z. Cause I can't really do it in my Mustang... it just doesn't have the sick skidpad rating that the Z does. I remember the Z was fun to drive because it was a little car that you could fling around very easily. And I don't think there's a better Z than the current one. Seeing that Australian video where they compared the 370 to the 350 to the 300 really brought that home for me. This is just the best car Nissan has ever made.

But I digress.
