What's your secret to keeping it that clean?

garage kept and yes there are tons of bugs here. there are lots of fields and farmland south of where i live on the way to work and i just try and stay on top of cleaning it (about once a week) and keep a good coat of wax up front

this next set on the rear will be the 6th set i've ran on the rear, currently the 3rd on the front. started with the stockers till about 7500 on the rear and went with nitto invo's. while they are cheap and sticky, they sound horrible toward the end of their tread life. instead of going the cheap route i went with a more costly tire and got a harder compound. i've been running the michelin pilot sports a/s ever since and will never buy anything else. i don't track the car and i have not seen any loss of grip with these tires. they also last 3 times as long as others and ride/sound the best of any tire i have ever bought.

Where are you driving too? I'm guessing you had your car for 3 1/2 yrs possibly. If so that means you are putting like 25k miles a year. So you have never had any issues or problems at all? How do you drive your car? I would take it that you baby it & do not drive the hell out of it. Man that is freaken effen awesome if no problems or headaches.

I drive to work daily about 15 min each way but to go out the closest decent places are about 45 min to 1hr away. I've had is since nov09 so a little shy of 2 1/2 years. Haven't had any issues with my Z, guess I got a good one **knocks on wood**. I would say I give it spirited starts but I far from baby it. I am still on the original clutch but about to put the 6th set of tires on the rear, still on the 3rd set up front. I would say I really only beat on it probably 2 or 3 times a week. Haven't had any overheating issues even after running it at Deals Gap last year. I change the oil regularly with Mobil 1 and a K&N oil filter. If you take care of your car it will last. If anyone is wondering wether or not to get the sport package just look at the mileage I'm getting on my clutch when I've seen others with 20-25k replacing theirs. This is by far my favorite car I've ever owned

Nice....very nice. In the end it is all about how you actually drive it. Man you sure have went through some tires....lol. For how many miles you have on your car it is extremely nice looking & your engine looks like it is brand spanking new. I give you two thumbs up.

)

this is awesome. but weren't you the one who ran into a deer or something a while back and had to get your front bumper replaced?

I just had the inside and outside detailed a few weeks ago. It looks practically brand new. I never open the hood so I didn't bother having it cleaned.
