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.

Out of curiosity what major repairs have you had done in that 100k? (or since you've had it if you bought used)

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
