Default Anybody own two Zs? I'm thinking of getting a second...

I know, it sounds completely absurd, but I want to buy another Z. It'll most likely be a higher-mileage 2003 6spd (Base or Performance) for less than $14k. But I'm curious to see if anyone's done the same?

I have thought about buying a roadster in the future. When I first bought my car I wanted the coupe (still do). However, after test driving a roadster recently, I can't get over how good it felt to have the top down.

there was a guy on the other site that had a JWT TT Z and his dad had a new '07 Nismo Z. Was a pretty sweet combo.

but why would someone want 2 same gen Z's??

unless you plan on TTing one and leaving one as stock for a DD.

if thats not the case, i dont know why u would.

Only thing id do is keep my 350 an buy a TT Z32

If I get a second Z, the 06 would be a garage queen (weekends only) and modded considerably. So yes, it is one of the reasons.

Odds are that windows would work in one or the other.

As much as i love my Z, the way I see it is that there are a lot of nice cars out there I would love to own. If I were to buy another car its would be one with better gas milage, and one that is more practical.

Default Get 3!!

I would love to have 3 Zs:

1 - My 05 35th for street / show (TT)
2 - Base 03 for track, AC, gutted n such, fully built motor
3 - 3rd daily (I think I would rather have something more mpg friendly, say VW TDi Golf, Honda FIT, Scion Xb, BMW 3 series)

Definately get something else. Why buy 2 of the same when you can have 2 different things.

I had 2 Z's for a while. My drag car, and an 06 stock Z that I just drove around. I seem to always need a running sports car

And I thought I loved Z-CARS. And the guy with the 3 Z-s 280z, 300 & 350Z I think or was that 240, 280 & 350Z whatever I hate you, I'm so jelous I'm turning sh$% green.

Now I do know a guy that owns a black 350Z and a Black G35 sedan awd the same car made for totally different reasons; 1 for winter and family driving and one for just him and his doll. I hate him also, no but we are buds so its cool, I would have at least got another color.

A 350ZR and a G35 or M35 awd would make a lot of since and can be done for almost the price of a bmw 530 with the winter kit.

High mileage you can find a 350Z for $14k.
