370z owners, what do you do about practicality?

You are only 24 once. Buy the Z.

Wait.... no job and living at home while your parents buy you a Z? I think some priorities are out of whack.

I just want some opinions.

"370Z" and "practicality" in the same sentence makes me LOL!
My opinion? If you can have only one vehicle, and practicality is a primary concern for you, then the Z is a poor choice.
I had a Mazdaspeed3 for a couple of years. Now that was a practical and fun car!

I agree....For a Z you need a second car for areas that have poor weather or if you need "practicality" .....

Nice. What kind of Benz? Looks like one of the pre 2007ish keys.

thanks. it's a 2001 C320. it's my dad's car but he doesn't drive anymore so he gave it to me to drive. it has pretty low mileage for how old it is. it only has 27k miles. although, i am the only one who would drive it, i don't want to rack up the mileage, that's why i got the vw for daily commuting.

vw = daily commuting
mb = weekend
z = garage queen

I daily drive my Z. I'm an attorney and really only need room for a briefcase and the occasional purchase of a case or two of beer

I have my Z and a motorcycle, and I don't need any more room than the Z offers.

I have friends with trucks if I need to borrow something with room.

I may need to re-think my approach here.
Now that I have a truck, people may ask me to borrow it or worse yet... help them move sh*t.

I could use the sprinter van as an RV, and I might do just that from time to time.
