Anyone bored of their Z?

I've loved it, babied it, and 5 years later I almost traded it in for a 2016 Tacoma.. I was even looking at a Prius! I know, let's not talk

I've loved it, babied it, and 5 years later I almost traded it in for a 2016 Tacoma.. I was even looking at a Prius! I know, let's not talk about that one. I love my car but I can't deny I've been bored with it lately. It's my DD and it's starting to feel small even though I don't need extra space. Anyone else ever get that bored feeling?

Not one bit. Five years and 85K miles later it still gives me 100 smiles per gallon

I can understand how the Z could bore some eventually (there are lots of sporty cars out there) ... but you're looking at a Tacoma or Prius??

Maybe try not babying it ... you could do an HPDE or something

50K miles combined.. All the looks, grins and compliments daily, just cant trade that for the world. lets me know what a great purchase this car was.

You may get bored of your Z ,but I can tell you from experiance of being bored of a vehicle.
Just a few years after getting rid of it, you will want it back just like day one. Belive me I have been there, I would love to have back my 03 cobra ( not tired of my 2010 nismo at all) I just think about it all the time

not yet (over 2 1/2 years) and I don't think I will anytime soon. maybe if I had gotten an automatic or the base model, but I didn't. something better or more practical may come along but I would miss it for sure.

This is your problem. Anything will become boring if you drive it every day, I don't care what it is. Just one of the many reasons to have a second vehicle for a daily beater.

I'm only bored when running at higher speeds. On a tighter course, or around town, nope. The power is plenty and feels that way until longer straights, and it's still a blast in corners.

I have an 09 Touring that I enjoy most of the time. Then I look at my girlfriend's 2010 sport touring and get upset because I have an open diff and tiny brakes..
