Is your Z a burden to you?

sheps58 · 03-10-2014, 03:17 PM

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.

Repairs can get expensive but I love my Z

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.

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

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

i would NEVER dd a Z. thats what cars like c63's and m5's are for

If you never Dd a Z, then you have no idea what you are missing!!!! It's like someone who has a million dollars, uses only a small amount, hoards the rest for some future and dies leaving it all behind.

I DD and I wake up enjoying the thought that I will drive it everyday. Other then when it is actually snowing, I drive it.
