...who wants to leave work at 3:00PM and go driving in my Z? Sometimes when I go out clubbing and have a bad night I look forward to driving my Z home

Unfortunately my Z is the only car I have right now. My 200SX got into a fender bender. I'm mad that I didn't keep it cause I coule have fixed and tweaked it. Either way it doesn't make sense having two cars because you can only drive on car at a time.

Long term wise, it makes perfect sense.
Putting extra miles on paid off car > putting miles on financed car.
Keeping the miles off keeps resale value higher. You always want to stay ahead of the game, not behind in the hole. Is this the 1st new car you've owned?

Whenever I have had a particularly bad or depressing day, I always look forward to driving my Z home. No matter how bad my day is, a ride in the Z will always put a smile on my face. Props to Nissan for providing me with a $35,000 stress reliever. Hey, at least this one actually works.

3:00 in a z in houston going up 45n has got to be one of the worst experances in life. going up 45 in a z from 5 30 to 6 is the absolute worst driving experance in life. (my car is selfish it hates sharing the freeway with 4 million other drivers. it needs room to play

Yeah it is my first "new" car but I've done my research. I know the resale value drops as the milage gets higher and even more drstically when it reaches 100K so I plan on selling my car before then. I've got 53K on it so far and I plan on sellig it around 70K or 80K. Any suggestions on my next car? I'm looking at the BMW 5 series (M5 in my dreams) and the latest Acura RL. I love the sleek look.

I look for any excuse to leave work early
I take the Z cruising every evening just for the driving pleasure. It's a great form of therapy.
