My Mustang is a giant burden...but that's only cause I hate it.

If it was the 370 there would be none at all

Just recently I've been driving a lot more. I think this is when I can see how the 370z can be a burden. The mileage distance isn't that great, but what do I expect it's a Z duh

i would NEVER dd a Z. thats what cars like c63's and m5's are for
If you owned a C63 (AMG) or an M5 you wouldn't DD a Z? Thats like saying I would DD my GTR but keep the Z as a weekend car. BS meter went off the grid.

I was using the Z as a DD and the Porsche as a weekend car. The Z was a zero burden car for us. We did move on from it but not because it was a burden. It was just time.
