just get a bumper sticker that says "My other car is a Z".
I can't imagine worrying about how many miles I put on this car. If I'm going to pay for this INCREDIBLE CAR then I'm going to drive it to work all the time. I live in North Tampa also and I drive 50 miles round trip every day. Keep driving.....
I was going to keep my 200SX as a daily driver, but some dumb, uninsured ***** totaled it while I had the down payment check for my Z on the passenger seat.
6 months later, I'm not so convinced that the SX wouldn't be gathering cobwebs anyway. Zed is just too much fun to leave in the garage all week.

my commute is 30 miles each way!!! thinking of buying a secondary car
I have 3 choices:
94 corolla (auto) for 1000
91 toyota (auto) pickup for 1500
91 mr2 (manual) for 1500
all these cars are reliable too. lol..didnt realize that theyre all toyotas.....shoot all 3 cars combined are a a bit more than the rims i want.
Stick is necessary for the Z..but the luxury of an auto is nice for the commute even if its a old azz car.

wow wow woooow... A NEW Z? what? when? where? How come i havent seen or heard anything about this? EXPLAIN!

So in YOUR opinion, the Z is meant to be driven either at 10mph bumper to bumper or at 65mph on boring highway in a straight line?
Nah, my Z is for curves and fun !

...What? Where did i meantion anything about 10 mph, 65 mph, or a highway? Hell, you can drive a car anywhere. What makes it fun is HOW you drive it.
And about your curves and fun, im happy for you. I do AutoX as much as possible and go to track days atleast once a month. Hope you arent insinuating (sp) that im one of those drag racers. Because you would've been mistaken.
PS: the highway can be made fun when attacking traffic late at night with some other car chasing after you (of course that other car not being a cop lol)

I don’t do AutoX. I think it’s a waste of time and resources and it just hurt the car. That’s just my opinion. I do plenty of full road course track days though.
I don’t speed on the highway ‘cuz I believe I pay enough taxes as it is and don’t want to contribute more than necessary !
It's my daily driver to commute to class and work every weekday. Probably about 10 miles for that. Girlfriend's house is 10 miles away so about a 20 mile commute back and forth.
Bought the car in Jan. 05, put about 25k miles on it so far (@53k now).

In 10 years I doubt I'll even want to drive a combustion engine sports car as my daily driver, the gas prices would just **** me off even in our cars. 50 bucks a fill up is painful enough, so I'm going to enjoy her while I can. That's part of the reason I bought the z though, she is a very efficient car.
