My 370Z is almost 14 months old and I just hit 15k earlier this week. My beater died, and my girlfriend doesn't like me racking up the miles on her newly painted '97 Del Sol. Even though I savor every second behind the wheel; driving the beater made me really appreciate the time behind the wheel....plus I could keep the cover on, and only drive it in nice weather. Now it's my daily driver. My goal was 8-10k a year with the intent of trading it in for a new 370z with 40k after being paid off (4 year loan). I usually average about about 18k miles a year in total driving. I must get a new beater...but oil cooler, new rubber, race helmet, and track time costs about the equivalent of a beater for me. Guess I'll have to wait on the beater for little while longer!
