Ya know, I still baby the 370. I mean, I give her juice every now and then, but she's still perfect so I feel weird drifting or doing burnouts.

Now, when I get behind the wheel of my 350, I let the crazy flag fly. That thing is full of rock chips, uggo rims, a beatup interior, so I really smash the hell out of that thing.

Every time I drive my Z and bring it home, I notice another ding/dent/chip/etch, etc.

Not even got 2K on it yet, and I'm always getting to the point where I wonder if I'll even bother stipping off the stuff the detailers put on, and putting Zaino (that I bought $300 worth of stuff and have yet to use any of) on it.

lol

That, and I'm kinda lazy. I want to get a DA polisher first, and I'd rather use the money that would pay for that, to get more debt polished off.

Everyday I hit higher RPMs governed by the speed limit, and "on ramp" type factors.

I still have a perfect driving record (+20 years of driving) and hopefully I can keep it that way. Most of my over the edge driving is reserved for the track.

I drive my Z very hard every day. Life's too short to not have fun.

Pushing_Tin, I agree there isn't much point in owning a 370z if you are not going to drive it like they designed it to be driven. It doesn't make much of a grocery getter.
I do the same as the OP.

I also must say that the trunk (and passenger seat and rear shelves, if necessary) holds a good amount of groceries!!

Hey now...I love getting groceries in mine :rofl2:

It hasn't been driven hard unless smoke is coming from the brakes, oil is dripping from the exhaust and the car is screaming UNCLE!!!

I give her a stomp to merge into expressway traffic, if the need arises (5 grand is the most I've done and that maybe only once)...after the 1200 mile break-in period. Otherwise, I treat my Z pretty kind.

It's good for a car to be redlined occasionally to burn off some deposits and get the juices flowing.

RCZ 09-27-2009 04:16 PM
I drive the car hard 90% of the times I turn it on.

Chan Chee Hoe 09-27-2009 06:21 PM
i have no chance to drive hard here,due to heavy traffic & low speed limits.
