lol ya for some of those cars the cost to maintain them for a year would buy our car!

I don't know about lambo's but I know I was reading bugatti veyron owners (I know it's $1.7-2.7 million car) but they are paying around $250,000 - $300,000 a year for yearly maintenance!!

that would buy some pretty nice houses around my area (the $250k to $300K).

Think about this. The difference between the $250k and $300k is more than our Z.

Nissan prevents the engine from revving too high when the engine temp is too low. But the engine warms up very quickly. I usually wait until my oil temp reaches 180.

That will take me probably all day now in the Winter.

Not on my 370Z. I can rev to 7500rpm right when I start it cold.

Well our owner's manual says when first starting to let it idle for 30 secs.

The tires alone on a Veyron cost more than your Z KBB's for if you still had it, depending on trim level.

I have always been told to let your car warm up a little at first. With that said, waiting till the oil temp guage says 180 is pretty warm for a first rip. My car takes like 20 minutes to get to that temp it seems, and this is in the summer. I let her loose at 140-160 haha. Who knows how accurate those Oil Temp guages are anyways...

I understand, but what on earth would total several hundred thousand dollars in YEARLY maintenance. It probably barely cost that much to make the thing.
