I hear that, mine is a daily, as long as it doesnt snows shes out. I have 31k in a year and 2 months, talk about racking up miles, I should invest in a DD :icon17:

congrats on the milestone!! :driving:

i leased a Beetle for DD.
i thought it was a good idea at the time :-O
when my lease is up next year, I plan to get a muscle car (probably a Mustang 5.0) for DD

No anything but a mustang!!! :bowrofl: JP do what you got to man, atleast get the 2013 GT500 though thats some serious ponys under the hood. :icon17:

haha.
another idea i have is to get the 2014 Corvette C7 when it comes out early next year and make the 370z a DD :-)

now I like the sound of the vette better, but then again I am a Nissan guy all the way I don't like chevys or fords. Just something American muscle ehh, JDM all the way bro. :tup::tup::tup::happydance:

i used to buy only German cars. before I got the Nissan, when our family got together, the parking area would look like a Mercedes-Benz dealer's lot :-O

You know on youtube, there's a video on the Lamborghini Countach and the reporter said before one dies, he should own/drive a car with 12-cylinder engine.
A Lamborghini 12 cylinder engine is out of my budget but American car with V-8 engine producing over 400 HP is within it. So I figure why not :)

my last German car before I switched to Nissan.
At the time, the dealer told me i had the only C320SS with a manual transmission in northern California :-O.
I special ordered it from the factory.
When i think about this car, i remember how slow it was compared to the 370z :)

:icon17: Thats a great way to think of your previous car :rofl2:

Mercedes looks good though. :tup:

I think your Benz is a beautiful car. But it just looks plain to me..

No offense. Im sure it cost you double or triple what the Z did.

But anyways, i just feel like I could never drive a benz. Maybe a c63 !

yep, I agree, it's very conservative looking.
i like the look of the 370z much better
but of course one is a sedan and the other is a sports car
so they can't really be compared to each other, styling wise :)

they cost about the same but the Mercedes was way more
expensive to maintain. Every time it went in for service
the minimum charge was over $200.

Near the end, One side of the bi-xenon lights
went out and they charged me $1,500 to fix it.

I believe it got about the same gas mileage as the 370z, maybe a little bit better in the city :)

How's the reliability been for so many miles?

Got it with 41 miles, so far no issues or complaints, gotta love VQ engines. :tiphat::tup:

So my drive is half highway until I get on base then its 40mph until i hit the 3 stop signs before work. I average 20-21 sometimes lower, and I don't really get on it. Is the Z's mpg calculator that far off? I see numbers like 24-25 average.
I didnt really buy the car for mpg, is it typical to fill up this car as a daily every week and half?

My average is 21.5 mpg and 25 mph on my 11 SP. I reset the gauge every week to monitor my driving and have gotten 24-25 without spirited driving. I go through a full tank every week.

I get 19-22 on surface streets and up to 28 on the highway if I'm really gentle to it lol. I'm eating a tank every 1.5-2 weeks, I drive about 20 miles/day give or take.
