Bored? No way! I can’t drive it now (didn’t get my snows mounted). Lot’s of separation anxiety going on now. But: “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” --Spike

i dont even want to start on how many things ive had to send it in for service! a

moving around in all different directions. plus a month ago i had them adjust my

front bumper because of gaps. in that process they dented my front bumper

and rear left fender. so i took it in a week ago for those repairs. I was supposed

to get it back today but i guess not so i miss my puppy oh so much. so all in

all every month i dont have it for about a week so im always missing it lol.

No way. I still can't get over how much fun it is to drive. I get comments from co-workers about how can I afford an expensive car like that when what they are driving is actually more expensive. That is hard to find.

And awarded best sports car under 30k after 4 years on the market. Sweet!

I have a 2000 TT Quattro currently. I'm moving to the Z next. If your into modding DONT get the Audi.

APR Turbo back exhaust $2,200 ... that hurt me inside.

I had an 04 TT Roadster prior to the ZR. It was a beautiful car, and the quattro was superb in the snow. Unfortunately, some guy in a Crown Vic blew a red light and totalled it in a head-on. I really miss it, but the Z is much more of a driver's car and I absolutely love it.

I never get tired of it. I have a company car but at least once every couple of days I have to get in her and take her for a spin just to remember what a real car is like! (Company cars are slow and boring)

There are days I really like my Z and then there are days I don't. With all the new cars coming out, I think my mind is starting to cheat a little. I really like what Toyota/Lexus is offering the next couple of years. I have to say though my Z has been very good to me from the beginning since 03. Slight tire feathering issue that was solved, and slight 3rd gear grind issue was all I had to deal with. All the minor rattles were fixed. I guess I'm at a point in my life in which I think I need more creature comforts. Also, there's just something in me that doesn't like the fact that every teenager now is able to get their hands on a Z.

Hello no. Bored? Like no way. I like totally appreciate what the Z does for me, especially after owning powerless hondas. All I know is that I don't wanna own a car that's less powerful than this. I probably will buy a 2007 or 2008 350z next. I originally wanted a coupe, but the roadster was the next in line at the lot, and I got a incredible test-drive w/ the roadster, coming off a 2006 Accord rent-a-car, which totally sucked ***.

This June I will have 4 years of having my 03 Track edition, I cannot say I`m bored because if I go out of the country for more than a week I start to miss my car and driving it, I`m kinda bored about the mods left to my Z, I have done almost everything in NA options and without touching the block. Sometimes I think it will be nice to buy another car but I have put so much love and time to this car I really don`t got the ***** (yet) to change it.

No, not bored. I was adrift for a year after I got it because I hadn't figured out what to do besides washing it and terrorizing the mountain roadways. Then I found autocrossing. In the last 2 years I've averaged 35+ events. My 03 is going to stay home with the wife when the 07 gets here. I get to test whether the suspension will need Koni Yellows, probably will, and how to use the extra HP and extra 1000 rpm to my advantage. I'm going after the RX-8s this year.

The Z is not boring, only owners that don't know what to do with them.

The moment I started riding(mc) I actually started regretting buying the Z. I stated somewhere before on this forum that I will probably downgrade to a civic si(minivan) and never do any mods. If I can find one
