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...

I was denied an umbrella insurance policy because I have a high powered vehicle. My auto insurance rates are low but the same insurance company would not sell me an umbrella policy.

Difficult car for a long weekend. Had to use a Honda CRV for a drive to Skaneateles NY. I need a 2nd vehicle with the Z.

I may move on to a BMW 3 series xi coupe or 4 series due to space and lack of AWD.

that's odd.. you sure it wasn't anything else?

sheps58 · 03-10-2014, 03:42 PM

No that's what the under writer told me. My rates are low. My son who was on my policy caused minor damage to a parked car 3 years earlier, but they said that was not the reason. My rates never went up.

Repairs can get expensive but I love my Z

hey blame the dealer, and me being young and stupid

but seriously, repairing my CSC cost me a **** ton since the dealer decided to not cover it under warranty eventhough they said they would

it was already close to 1200 for the parts, oil, ect. , not to mention it was a pain to drop the entire thing, i ended up just towing it all taken apart to a shop to have the job finished

i was kind of pissed that it cost as much as it did but now im glad its up and running, but now i just need new tires which arnt exactly cheap

kenchan · 03-10-2014, 03:50 PM

i see... well, at least your rates are low.

Joepro · 03-10-2014, 07:16 PM

It will only be a burden if the motor ever goes pop, until then Ill boost away, having a non factory turbo car with a turbo is priceless when you know the person staring at you is thinking...no way, that car isn't turbo'ed...well son, it is. OK one annoyance, I cant stop f'ing up rotors, just go new z1 rotors and they are already shaking, my rears are r1 concepts and they pulsate so much I cannot drive spirited at times...luckily we just got a Pro-Cut warthog at work

kenchan · 03-10-2014, 08:03 PM

I'm not sure I care to know how my Z does in bumper to bumper traffic...
