Missing my Z
 
It may sound kind of :icon14: but was on vacation and really missed my Z. Not missing it like a family member, and not even because i missed driving it (i drive it about 4 times a week), but it was one of only 2 things i missed, the other being my weiner(dog) :icon17:

How do guys handle being away from your Z? :driving:

I have been away from my Z twice recently, once for the accident repair and then while it was up on stands waiting for a new upper oil pan. I had a rental both times and what I missed the most were the handling characteristics. The cars just felt less stable and more "floaty" than my Z (with uprated suspension and sway bars). Trying to take the same turns at the same speeds, which my Z can handle with ease and confidence, felt unsafe.

damn, I thought this thread was going to be about someone stealing your Z. I should stop being negative lol.

I have been without my z for over two weeks and it will be about another 3 weeks before I get it back. Its currently at fly1 motorsports in Los Angeles getting a complete makeover! So to pass the time I've been building a Honda crx. Don't get me wrong its brutal but it will be well worth it when it returns. Nothing lossed nothing gained. I can't wait for it to return. I think it will rank as one of the coolest 370's in north America! But I'll let you guys and the judges at nationals decide that!

My job keeps me away from my Z (more importantly my family and friends) about 8 months out of year. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...images/sad.gif
Like now, hence my avatar.
I just left about a month ago, 7 left to go. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/sigh.gif
My longest stretch away from my Z was exactly a year.
That's why my 09 Z only has 26K on it.
It sucks but when I'm home I usually get a 4 month vacation. :tup:
Opens a lot of doors that a normal 2 week vacation wouldn't.

While I'm gone I do miss my Z but it isn't that bad, I'm used to it.

P's_Z 09-06-2014 06:55 AM

Wow! And here i thought i had it bad, crying over a few mealsly days while you guys have had it worse.

You guys are my heroes :icon17:

i miss my z when i'm away too... in fact, i miss it when it rains... it's been a very rainy season in ne ohio... i feel like i haven't driven it at all and winter's right around the corner... sucks :(

Joepro 09-06-2014 09:01 AM

Sold my boosted Z 2 months ago...still hate myself for it. Been sports car shopping on the net for a month...the itch is bad...all roads are leading back to a Z...even if it is "dated" and under powered...

kenchan 09-06-2014 11:10 AM

im kinda use to it. i only drive the car on the weekends and 5-6months out of the year the car is hibernating. :D

i have other hobbies.

Justice97 09-06-2014 01:42 PM

Went to coast a month or so ago and took the girlfriends lexus.

Did not miss Z.

Knew she was cool and safe in garage not getting sand all over her.
