If you knew you wouldn't get to drive your Z much

If you can afford it keep it man. Just traded our 09 in with 15k miles on it and we miss it dearly. However we had two or it would not be gone. This one has about 1200 miles on it in about 6 months.

And this is why I love this forum, thanks for setting me straight guys!

I know I would be heartbroken if I got rid of it...I guess the the thought of driving it less was really bothering me but at the end of the day I can afford it and I love the Z to pieces....it will just make each trip that more special.

I'm sure I will find ways to get trips in and hit the track on the weekend. It truly is my own personal time as I rarely have a passenger...

Anyways, hurry up April 1st so I can start driving again

I don't know man. This might sound kind of hypocritical, considering within the past 6 months I've driven my Z approximately less than a handful of times, like <500 miles in 6 months, but you should think about getting something more practical in the long run. Then again, my Z has been long paid off and I spend very little on it to begin with.

If you're still making payments on it, then that money is going to something that you aren't going to get 100% out of. Then again, I'm just a random dude giving advice over the internet. I'm not the one paying your car loan so in the end it's up to you. If the Z gives you that much satisfaction during the few times you do end up driving it, then keep it! If not, then be more practical and get something more family oriented.

No I totally appreciate the feedback, its where my head was at for awhile

Who knows, if it was paid then maybe id be thinking I could get 30K for it (locally) and thats a whole other can of worms.

But that was my concern, not getting my moneys worth...I think if the Z was just "transportation" for me then I would consider it gone but I truly love it and I get lots of satisfaction from it...being involved in forums, meets, cruises, it truly is a big part of me/life.

She's staying for sure.

I would definitely keep her as long as I wasn't going broke. Even if you can only drive her twice a week, she won't forget about you.
