I had my last car (an RX8) a little over a year. I got bored and got the z. This time I am going to take the mods very slow and if I get bored that's just too bad. I'm keeping the z.
That's the best!

i get bored of my Z sometimes...but the best way to stay "interested" in your car i think is to take it slow on the mods and another thing i found helpful is to stop driving your car as much. sometimes i keep my car in the garage for a few days and when i take it out again i feel so much better about driving it

If your looking to drift get you a set of adjustable swaybars (modding makes me happy) set them to all the way stiff and take it out drifting. Just be careful and legal

I suggest if you are going to drift buy some extra tires strictly for drifting. I didn't do that and went drifting in a parking lot. I must have slide over a rock or something because me rear tires have a long scrape like chunks were torn or burned off from extensive drifting.

I haven't gotten bored of my Z yet and I got it in April. It was in the shop from june to july. And when I got it back it was like I got a brand new car all over again.

Rent a Ford Focus or Hyundai Accent for a couple of weeks...You'll be SOOO happy to see the Z again that you'll cry like a baby.

-OR-

Flip your ride with a buddy or family member that you can TRUST with your Z...Pick one who drives a 4 cylinder auto tranny car...you can save on gas for a week or 2....They can get a cool fast car to bust a move in...and they pay for the premium gas too! WIN-WIN Situation!

This cartoon was a blast a few years back.....Max Steel would always say "Going Turbo!" when he was getting ready to kick somebody's ***...Maybe you just need that extra Turbo adrenaline rush in your Z!

I just don't understand how you can be bored with a car when you haven't popped the cherry on the speed limiter even once and never taken it to the track.

Today I drove from SD to Julian and back, in my 1month-old Z. No waste of a day off! So sad that I hadda follow too many camp-vans and mini-vans an renta-cars on the 79 both ways. Even with the Bose off it was a rock-fest. I'm still lovin' the Z, and can't wait until I can schedule a track day to get focused on safe fast driving.
I think there's an autocross in SD this weekend, but that will have to wait until I get the 6speed, VDC, and a helmet dialed.

Own it!

Line,

I hope to get there after my Sunday morning responsibilities; a company golf outing (Boo-yaa) finishing a little after noon. I hope to meet the folks who make sane racing affordable, and pay a coupla dues.

I'm silver, waiting for plates,and would like to meet another racer.
Crimso
