In fact, we Z owners NEED a 2nd car, in case that Screwing Lock Failure happen.

If you can afford the extra cost of added insurance, gas, maintenance.. etc.. I wouldn't be so quick to dump the Focus.. The more u use ur Z the more maintenance yr going to need.. (r u ready for new tires yet

they go quick if you use as a DD..

I use a Ford Explorer for my chores (Shopping & dragging family around) Camery as a DD & my Z when I need to be alone on the open road...

& maintenance on all 3 is fairly low because I don't beat any one car too much..

My Z has become a fair-weather driver for me, wasn't the case as much when I first bought it (at the end of December!). It has to be dry for at least a day and above freezing this time of the year for the Z to leave the garage. A 2004 Titan gets the vast majority of the driving duties from about November to March, even though the gas mileage pretty much sucks. At the time I bought the Z, I also had a 77 Triumph TR7 that was a bit of a garage queen until I got rid of it, my fondness for British Leyland was quite thoroughly tested by that TR7 coupe as well as the TR7 drophead before it, I'm thinking an older TR6 might have been a better option...

I loved my G but I just don't care for the lines of the newer model which is why I got the Z. I also can't afford my 2nd car to cost the same as my current one.
