Is your Z a burden to you?

I actually found a burden. This is somewhat of a self contradictory.

As much as I want to drive the Z everywhere, I don't want to put a lot of miles on her.

ive not parked my z anywhere but at a gas station once and an empty parking lot to take snaps (that you can find in my albums page). lol

been shopping other cars for awhile just because i took a big pay cut two months ago. But damnit, every time i get in and drive her i forget about all that crap and just have fun. I also like seeing the gf in the passenger seat having a good time while i push it. Hell, ive been in new mexico for a week and a half now and i told her to go take the Z out this weekend. It beeds driven. And it brings me joy to know that she knows how to handle that car.

To sum it all up? Kinda hard to find something comparable that will keep me happy and sane and the gf smiling. Im willing to take the hit. But a burden? Nope.

Not a burden at all if it's all stock. It becomes a burden when you want to do all kinds of upgrades but then you can't find the right shop in your area to install the parts. So the parts either sit in the garage or you try to do it yourself then realize you still need someone to do the proper adjustments on the part.... With all the frustration you find yourself in the garage just staring at your car and wondering what else you could have spent just about $45k-$50k... A new house, a few vacations, retirement fund.... But once the frustration goes away, you realize you have one of the baddest and legendary cars there is, you have a Z in your garage. Just like that special person in your life, there are times you want to choke the hell out them, but at the end of the day you wouldn't want to be with anyone else.

I have 31,000 daily driven miles on my 2010 370Z. I bought it new in late 2010.

1. No payments, I paid cash for my car
2. Insurance isn't bad for me at all
3. If I was so poor I couldn't afford gas then I'd probably rethink my life choices, this is of zero concern to me.
4. 2 seats is not an issue for me, ever. I don't want or need more seats.
5. See #3
6. Cabin space gets annoying. Sometimes I think about my next daily driver being something with more room. I do wish I could easily transport my road bike, my rifles and range gear, my golf clubs (what a hassle in the Z), etc
7. The noise levels annoy me, but very rarely.
8. Unwanted attention? I get the occasional kid in a Civic who wants me to drive as stupidly as they are, but otherwise I don't think my car gets much attention. It's not exactly rare, or high end.
9. No S.O. but girls I date generally don't like the car. Some do, most don't. They all like my motorcycle, though.

I think that if the cost of insurance, gas, rear tires, etc. is of a real concern to someone, maybe that person made a mistake buying the car in the first place. These should all be considerations when determining whether we can "afford" a car, not just "can my broke *** make the monthly payment without getting the car repo'ed?"

It can become a burden if one just blindly throw money at buying parts, then having to sell everything for a loss. It's really more of a self inflicted burden so cant place the blame on the Z

Thanks Zbrah!! Lol
