Funny, it was the last time she has rode in my car...:rolleyes:
I would have come unglued. :mad: Can I assume you said something to her, or did you just let it go and no longer invite her down to Napa Valley?

For those who say it's just a car...why didn't you buy a Camry? Obviously at the end of the day it is after all a car, but I think the majority of people here bought their cars because they have a passion for driving in some form or another. There's plenty of appliances with far more amenities and better mpg, etc for lower price.

Well said and it has to do with taking care of your investment.

And I'm sorry, as much as I love my Z, it's not an investment.

I wouldn't call something I spent $40k on "just a car." There is nothing wrong in taking pride in your stuff. JMHO.

Serious, if that had happen to me? I would have told the guy " I think I ran over something can you get off and check my front tire?" an as soon as he get in front to check? RUN his A$$ over!! He won't do that again.

I wouldn't spend $30-$40k on " just a car " otherwise I would be looking for a used beater.. If you are spending that much, it should be something you keep in pristine condition and take care of, I plan to baby my Z like no other lol..In a way, this will be like a dream car for me..always wanted a Porsche..but my salary doesnt go that far and this is really the next best thing at more than half the cost

Same thing goes for the clothes I wear..they may not be an investment but If given a choice, I'll choose the crisp, clean shirt over one with coffee stains. :icon17:

This is exactly why I don't drive people to lunch lol

It's not a traditional investment per se, in that you're hoping to make a financial gain from purchasing it, however it is highly unlikely that anyone will spend their $30-40k with little regard to it's condition

Most of the computers we are using cost under $2k, which is WAY less than our cars, but we don't go dumping coffee on it, or putting our dirty shoes on it.
America is awesome, we keep our $30k cars in the driveway so our junk can sit in the garage.
