Anyone ever feel guilty for driving their Z hard?

Mitco39 · 09-07-2012, 05:22 PM

This happens to me alot, when I'm in it ill feel the need to turn off the VDC and have a little fun with it. Then after I get home I instantly feel bad for putting it through that much work, but not bad enough to not do it the next day

. haha.

Just curious if anyone else feels the same?

I'm confused, you talking about sex with a woman or driving a car???

I feel bad when driving and I can feel the car wants to keep going, but my fear/respect for law forces me to hold back.

Lol! Never feel bad for getting on it..

...do feel bad about mileage i'm putting on it..

but i really really like chirping tires in 2nd-and i'm really starting to appreciate 3rd gear power...

I feel Nissan should feel guilty not assuming people would drive their Z's hard. I mean, it's a sports car, not a "show car."

no point in owning a z if you are gonna let it collect dust

I never feel guilty for driving my high performance cars hard...it's what they're made for.

Some people gain the satisfaction of ownership from keeping their car spotless and under a tarp in the garage....being miserly with the mileage....others, well, we like to DRIVE our cars...and drive them HARD.

To each their own, right?

nepali · 09-07-2012, 09:14 PM

I feel guilty when I don't drive it hard!

Z-Girl 12 · 09-07-2012, 09:25 PM

Nope!!!

I use to feel guilty when I drove my G35 hard because I truly don't believe it was built for the beating. The Z, built to beat on and I do it daily!!!

I dont feel too bad driving the Z hard, but I do feel guilty driving it in New Orleans sometimes. The car has no problem performing, but she definitely isn't made to have to drive through torn up streets riddled with pot holes.
