just a general little question
 

Are you paranoid about how many miles you put on your cars each week
or don't care and drive them whenever and wherever you want to.

i hear of people afraid to drive there cars out of fear of putting high mileage
on them. what is your opinion. for me i don't care, whats the fun in watching em
sit in the garage. i guess if you collect em that's one thing. but once they leave the lot 20% value is gone. what do you save at trade in 1000.00 to 1500.00. i had one guy in the know tell me it want make much of a difference
until you get over 75,000 miles anyway...........

Do not care per say. I have a SC on the car now so I am working on getting a DD so the engine can last as long as possible without needing any internal upgrades.
While it was NA I really did not care, drove to Austin an Dallas from Houston many times and never really worried about the miles.

this is the first car i have ever owned that i love putting miles on lol

Cars like these are meant to be driven. It's a mass-produced sports car-- you don't need to worry about saving it as a classic or anything.

Drive it hard, enjoy it. The difference in miles won't change the value that much, but it will change how much you enjoy the car.

Drive it hard always. Motor goes build it up. Keep doing that till the day you die. Live happy.

having too much fun to worry about the mileage :D life's too short, you work hard for the toys you have, you might as well enjoy them to the max.

great comment:iagree:

I love putting them on but I hate seeing them get higher

x2

only legit reason for putting as few miles on it as possible would be self satisfaction later in life. But... the kicker is that the car will wear out just as fast regardless of miles driven. I often see cars that are 10 years old with 100k on them that run better than ones kept garaged with 20-30k. These modern cars are, for a lack of better terms, cheap, plastic throw away cars not meant to be kept for long periods of time. Thats just the mentality of manufacturers in this era...

I like to keep mine clean and hate washing cars. So mine stays in the garage next to my G during the week. That's how I play.

I don't care about milage I put on the car.

I tried to put as few miles on my old 1996 Saab 900 with 36,000 miles on it just because the most unique thing about it was the extreme low mileage. But I put the least amount of miles on the car after I did the most amount of work which meant I did not get to enjoy the car in between constant problems.

Now, I aim to get much more enjoyment with the Z, I drive it where I want or need to go but I still don't put wasteful or useless miles on the car. It is hard to restrain myself sometimes!

Used to be, then when I hit about 12k I stopped caring.

The problem with trying to keep low mileage on any vehicle is that you can be driving through an intersection tomorrow and get totaled. Then you simply have a totaled vehicle with very few miles on it. What have you accomplished?

The Z was meant to be driven!! and not a Garage Queen.

Enjoy it.

I figure if I had paid alot for this car, it minus well be shown. Its not like a limited edition, so go show and tell...

This ^

I have 160K + on my twinturbo and still drive it like I stole it. Don't think the roadster will be any different. Told my wife that I would never buy a car I wouldn't drive. That being said, I hate when either one of them are out in the rain.

I just want it to still be running when it's paid off.

i got my Z around the end of april. I now got over 20k my parents GT-R they got in january is nearing 30k


I dont care. a car is meant to be driven not to show how big your **** is while standing in your garage

I totally agree you've earned it you make monthly payments on it
Drive em' and take care of em'.Why let the next guy brag about about a great low mileage z

No it is my daily driver. This car is an investment in myself, not a sensible financial one. The more miles means more potentiality of fun.
Unless someone leases one, and pays for the mileage, as discussed earlier, resale will likely be poor anyway.

It bothers me a little. My Z is my second car so I'm able to keep the miles off it pretty well. I plan on keeping my Z for as long as I can. Who knows when I will ever be able to afford a car like this again, so keeping the miles low is kind of a priority for me. But its never gonna stop me from having fun with it.

Drive the piss out of it you could die tomorrow.

I did not buy my Z to decorate my garage.

I sold my two year old '04 G35 6MT Sport when we in the market for a house... with barely 8,000 miles on it. I swore to never do that again.

I was using the del Sol as a commuter, and the G as a weekend driver.

Mine is intended as a DD and I'll drive it as it's meant to be (= hard). My wife owns our family car (Volvo V70 estate) so no problems :).
