Nissan 370Z Forum  

Is your Z a burden to you?

The only burden I can think of is people asking to drive my car. Even if you know how to drive stick or not it's like me sharing my gf

no burden what so ever.

if it burdens you enough to point out ALL the negatives about it. Then im sorry but why in the heck did you buy the dang thing in the first place. its a sports car, not a lucrative van or sadan lol

its not meant to be quiet, space galore exc, its meant to be one thing. a sports car.

This has all the hallmarks of yet another regret thread. I wouldn't be on here if I regretted having it

Don't hate on the blast pipes. They are good for 25whp!

Interesting Thread

Burden is a strong word. I definitely do things differently because of the Z

-Switching cars during the day so I can drive it
-No longer park by the subway station so drive it to work and pay parking.
-Putting 94 octane whenever I can
-Dont see it for 5 months a year cause of winter storage
-Over 10K in mods

But they are choices I make cause I love it. Don' regret it.

They have become a bit harder to live with though. In my situation I have a 2yr old son. The wife has a sweet 2013 BMW X5 but my other car, so I can do day care pick up or drop off is a 2000 Subaru Forester.

Needless to say, while it can be fun it is still depressing to either jump from my Z or wife's X5 into the Subaru....I could lease a nicer 3rd car but I know I could do something better with that money...especially with daycare costing $1300 a month lol.

So I'm lucky to still drive her and have the wife support it but I go through a lot to do so.

lol, sorry for the book, I guess its just been on my mind a lot while she sits in storage

Pretty much on the same boat as you. However, I do have a montly payment on mine :/.
Sometimes I feel that I should have not bought the car and instead save my money, but that all changes when I get behind the wheel.

Monthly payments can be a pain in a butt even if the car is affordable. But once you drive the car, all that pain goes away. Comes right back when you have to go back to work lol

Waiz hit it on the head. These cars are priced so well it's hard to find a fault with owning one. And if you have one and you feel its a burden then maybe you weren't quiet ready to have one just yet.
