Someone cheer me up please

I had the exact same thought a little while back... then realized, I just need to drive the car until it goes out on me. 52k now and I will continue to drive it.

I love it too much...

I would only get rid of it to upgrade. Cars i would have over the Z if i could afford and upgrade would be IS-F,M3,C63,Boss 302,Z06,GTR.

Sonic, at 50,000 miles.....the car will be toast and useless. I'll help you now and take it off your hands for $5K

It's just a number, enjoy it in good health!

But i'm dreading hitting that 50,000 barrier. someone tell me it's just a number.
to be honest i'm a car slut i usually trade before my cars reach 50,000.
but with the 370 i haven't even thought about it. and for me that's a big deal..
my wife thinks iv'e lost it. oh well life goes on... and the best part of it will be driving my little 370........... thanks for listening just had to get that off my chest... happy driving everyone...........

SuperSonic - just drive and keep smiling. Most people never own such a great machine much less spend that much time with one.

or u could enjoy the fact that most cars make more hp at 50,000 miles then they do at 10,000.

and here i though i was fooling myself into thinks this car is getting faster.....

geddy lee · 09-07-2012, 08:23 AM

I put 225 K on an 88 Honda CRX Si, 200 K on a 94 Supra, and 170 K on a 03 350 Z so 50 K is like still just a teenager

If you maintain the car, mileage really isn't an issue as long as you're willing to replace components as they fail.

muzik212 · 09-07-2012, 08:57 AM

I agree with the others. Its just a number, if you're maintaining the car, love it, and its still has the get up and go who cares! Its just a number.

Mt Tam I am · 09-07-2012, 09:23 AM

Even BMW's are still fine at 50k miles. Do not worry Sonic.

Oh i maintain the car alright. I'll put a part on before the
wife's root canal....... Just kidding !!!!!

UNKNOWN_370 · 09-07-2012, 10:24 AM

The good news... That VQ will run STRONG 250,000 miles or better!!!!

The bad news.... Your tranny will never be the same after 150,000 mi.

Drive it till 150k miles and sell or save for a custom built racing transmission and keep it forever .

Hope you feel better?
