So for everyone that says they will NEVER sell it.... If down the road in a few yrs, you can afford something much better, much more hp and performance than your Z will ever be, you would still keep it around? I am talking about 911, supra, gtr, zr1... and what if you can upgrade into an exotic?

Here is how I look at it:
Yes I would still keep it, because most likely my next fun car, be he high HP 2 seater (or 4 seater), I will not tinker as much as I did with this car. My Z is my true toy and mess around with car, can always go out and play with it, wrench on it myself.

Sometimes once you buy into a certain category, unless you really play to mod it, it is worth letting the tech handle a lot of the work at that point. Mainly because people buying the car after you, if ever, want to see those service records on that Porsche 911 or something.

If I'm looking to upgrade to something exotic, the $10-15k I'll get from selling the Z would be a drop in the bucket. At that point, gut it and build it for track and keep the exotic for a weekend toy. That's how I ended up with my current track car. The $5k it was worth wasn't worth selling it.

I can afford a Supra. Anyone who bought a 370 can afford a Supra... I wanted something with a warranty while in school.

The problem with most people I know is that once they upgrade to the other cars listed, they don't DD the car... Sooooo, it's not apples to apples... Then again, I haven't a clue why people buy a 370 and weekend drive it either...

If I could afford a new-ish GTR (I'd have to buy under warranty) I'd only sell the 370 if I got a good offer on it, I wouldn't sell it for 15k if it was the last 15k to get a GTR. Not much of a Corvette guy, and I have no idea why you'd BUY a German car


My next car will be a DeLorean, or a classic 65-70 fastback Mustang, in which I'll be keeping the 370

well that could be because you're not old enough to know wat adulthood is about to be a responsible father with kids. cant put 2 kids in a Z..while in motion at least.

90 ST

i'm an adult, I don't just weekend drive my Z, I'm simply not having kids, EVER! lol

kenchan

hey, it was DE pushing our weekend Z'ers faces into the dirt. he started it.

Agree. I don't have any kids.....yet, but my Z is still a weekend car. I never understood people who buy sports cars as their DD. If I could only have one car, I'd get something sporty and practical.

theDreamer

Because when it comes lunch time, I am not driving everyones a$$ around.
My car is for me (and the misses) only.

well, nissan made the Z as a 'daily sports' car which means dd'able and fun on the weekends so nothing wrong with dd'ing the car.

i personally dont like to dirty my hobby cars so i dont drive them to work or anywhere. even at work in the summer we get the landscapers blowing rocks and shittt on our cars, all the chips and door dings going around. i really dont need that stress.

i just drive a super practical dd to work and in the winter.

Lets see because my beater is a family car, my kids have their own cars and I am not married and I have a girlfriend. Third wheels need not apply for a ride.
How could you not want to drive a 370Z every day?
Next vehicle I get will be a truck fer haulin stuff like hay and worsh tubs. And no I won't help you move.

Lol. This thread is totally heading in the wrong direction... Sorry...

Honestly, I'm paying for this car, I enjoy it, I think it's comfortable enough, a bit noisy at times (road noise) but bearable... Soooooo... Why not drive it every day? (Granted, I live in Southern CA so weather permits it safely)
I wouldn't want to drive something I don't care to be in if I have a much better car at home. And I have done 700+ miles a day in it without problems, sooooo... Yeah... I'll DD it until I have to kick it to start it, or until it gets totaled.

It's funny how the immediate reasoning is the inability to drive more than one person. Some of you guys must really hate having other people in the car with you, or mooches as friends/co-workers.
