Is your Z a burden to you?

For example: high monthly payments, insurance, can't afford gas, two seaters, can't afford repairs, cabin space, excessive noise, unwanted attention, complaints from significant other etc etc.

I don't have any problems with my car, but I can imagine the Z can be a burden for some. Especially if he/she uses it as a DD.

#'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!

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.
