Agreed. I can't stand driving anything lesser. My Z was down all last week and I was driving my old non-turbo 06' Subaru impreza. Oh man that was torture!

I guess they are teasing themselves hence the below statement.

I am one of those guys. To me, I dont drive it in the rain, I get it off the road before any salt/chemicals are thrown down on the roads, i dont bring it to car washes (hand wash only), so I make sure its garaged prior to being too cold, the more miles i have on it, the lesser the value i feel i have on it, the more i drive it, the more issues i find it having, including paint chips, RATTLING!!! and things of that nature...

I would say the people who only put a couple thousand miles on it a year are those who really like and care for their car... And lets be honest, its not the most practical car to drive, so to me, its the car i take when it wont cause me problems....

Luckily, its not my Daily Driver...

So there ya go, some reasons haha.

Ya, I can respect those who have the self restraint not to drive it so often....

But on the other hand, I love my Z so much I want to be seen in it all the time lol.

It hurts inside when I drive a lesser car that is not turning heads...like those who can drive a beater all week and then only pull out the Z on the weekend, more power to you...I just can't do it....so I will take my Z whenever I can

When it rains or weather is poor, I'll take another car for sure....

congrats on 100K
