Not so much a burden, prior to purchasing the Z, my wife and I made the decision to finally get a "hot date" car that would be just for us and our little outings, car cruises, street races, and just times when Ilene feel like tearing it up. We're both 25 with one 7 year old and one 11 month old but hey, that's what family cars are for......wouldn't have it any other way

This vehicle has been the exact opposite! It has been nothing but joy and ALL smiles when I get in the drivers seat. I bought this car with knowing what I like, what I can afford and what is going to put the biggest smile on my face for the $. I made a great choice with the 370.

#'s 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 should all be thought out by you before making the purchase.

#5, can't afford repairs, unless you're tracking your car, routine maintenace expenses are the same as any normal car.

#7, excessive noise, dynamat the doors and hatch (3-4 hours work you can do cheaply). You'll have a very civil ride and your stereo will sound better.

#8, unwanted attention, never had any negative attention, all the people who have made comments or jestures have been very positive.

#9, complaints from significant other, WHO CARES! :icon17:

I daily drive mine and totally enjoy it. My wife actually enjoys being a passenger in the car as she was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable it was for a sports car, plus she secretly enjoys (okay not a secret now) people admiring the car.

I love lamp

is my Z a burden...?


mm.... I don't piggyback it so I don't know.

:rock:

Its a huge burden, the lines on my face from smiling every time I drive it are starting to stay, damn car!

1) Nope - that's what refinancing is for
2) Nope - used to, I've even crashed a few cars back then, buddy and lady works for insurance
3) Nope - I drive it like I stole it, it's my DD
4) Nope - I dont buy cars to give my friends and family a lift
5) Nope - bought it brand new plus I've modded the sh*t out of it
6) Nope - Less space to worry cleaning
7) Nope - I'm switching to a cat-less, resonator-less, muffler-less exhaust soon
8) Nope - I dont care, drool all they want
9) Nope - What I say is final

:tup:

My pants feel a bit tighter when I am pushing my Z through twisty roads. That's a bit of a burden, I suppose.

Otherwise, I think the original question here is a bit, ummm, dumb.

Like anything in life, if your car is a true burden, then you are doing something wrong or have the wrong attitude.

It is a burden when you live in Mi with 115" of snow this year and you cannot even get it out of the garage because of the 6 feet of snow from the roof is in front of the garage door.

Why would you want to? That's what a second car is for ;)

I think you'd have the same problem with pretty much any other car out there...
