Can't stop driving my Z
 

I have had my car for 11 months now and been lurking on the site for about a year. Bout time to say hi:hello:. I got a 2011 base silver 6mt and I am unable to keep my butt out of the driver's seat!:driving: The car is simply awesome and so much fun to drive. I have just turned over 11,000 miles. Scary thing is I have a second vehicle, my trusty 95 Tacoma, to try to reduce my mileage.:rolleyes: I dare to imagine what my odometer would read if I did truly DD my Z.:eek: Do any of you other guy's rack the miles up like this?

Welcome :hello:

I have a second vehicle as well and have put 15k on my z since last october :o

Nissan made this car addicting! That's what it is meant for though. Drive it hard and enjoy it! Now the mod bug is biting me harder than ever. I have simple inexpensive stuff for now.

Hey Trips. You got a super clean Z man. Once my warranty is
done the modding will never end.

Thank You Sir!


Modding should be classed as a decease because once you start it's hard to stop :driving:

WOW! I don't feel so bad now.

Haha I feelvthe same way.. I don't feel too terrible taking the long way home sometimes because I'll be garaging my Z come winter time. For now, I try to at least keep it under 100 miles a week!

also a 2011 here with sport package and going to be hitting 21k probably this weekend and i only drive 9 miles to work from my house, going to be a year this august that i've had my Z and it's my DD lol

I hear you man, it's addicting. :tup:

Nissan Made a True Enthusiast's addiction, Cheap, easy to Mod, and a true Sports car at an affordable price

lol :iagree:

keep in mind I took a 2000 mile road trip to wisconsin a few months ago and work commute is 75 miles RT, I also drive into Manhattan often and thats at least 100 miles round trip. But yeah I just love to drive :p

My Z has been all over west Texas, New Mexico and my home state Arizona. Great car to road trip in. My daily round trip commute is 25 miles. I often take the long way or scenic route just to enjoy the car for a few more minutes.

Hi

Hey. Welcome to the site - - That's a cool color/model combo you got. The silver base w/ 6-speed manual. What kind of mods are you thinking about for the future ?

:eekdance:
I'm doing that a DAY! Cant help myself-but come winter my Z too will be garaged -hopefully on a lift if i can get hubby in gear!

Thanks! I got the base model so I could mod it out from scratch. Not a big fan of the synchro rev, its cool but I like to heel and toe and didn't want a system to fail in the future. I want to do a CBE w/ HFC's, CAI(probably Takeda Attack),1.5 slip diff, Big Brake kit, Street suspension with sway bars, Rims and tires, Oil cooler, who knows what else...Want to stay N/A though. Waiting for warranty to expire, just bothers me to do too much before then. Gives me time to save money and more options will be available in the aftermarket. For now I have AAM short tails, Z1 post MAF tubes w/HKS drop ins, GTR button, Fairlady logo and tint. Redline oil ftw too.

I put 1200 miles on my car in half a month...

Ive had my car for 4.5 months, and i put 7,900 miles on it. So, don't worry I'm doing much worse than you. Thats 56 miles a day on average. Please note i live 2.5 miles from work.

Feb 04 2012 = 21,699
June 15 2012 = 29,600

Owned my car for 2 months, just turned 6k miles

made my first payment on the 9th and already hit 3k...wow that went freaking quick. Funny thing is my wife has put 2600 of those miles on. LOL

My DD is a motorbike. Ive done 3000km in just under 2 months on it and if it was my DD then itd have close to double lol. Welcome....... and congrats for 11 months ago :)

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you are having fun. Keep enjoying it.
