Default How do you enjoy your Z?

When you get in your car and want to have some fun what do you do?

Do you drift?

Are you in it for the speed and see how fast you can go on the highway?

Or do you like to take it to the backroads and play in the corners?

Na its too risky to speed on the highway or backroads(to put others people in danger) I just have fun to drive around, specially around International Dr in Orlando. Where theres tourist from all over the world and you see them turning their heads. I take that as a compliment and just makes me wanna do more stuff to the car.

I like to play a game where I get up to a fast speed, then I close my eyes and see how long I can keep them closed before I chicken out.

Sometimes I cruise for dudes on the strip.

I am the slowest Z driver on the road. Occasionally I can't resist the temptation and pass a couple of cars up. Not much into racing or speeding. To many crazy people on the road.

My enjoyment is the windows down and just cruising it.

Don't get me wrong, there are some areas that it's just impossible to negotiate any kind of foul play, but the roads and highways where I am from, you can set up a tent in the middle and all you'll bother is the cows.

Awwwww boo hoo!! Try 3-4g's in VA for a reckless driving ticket + insurance going up . That is the only thing I don't miss about my home state. The roads are crap in NJ, but radar detection is legal and the cops really don't harass you that much if you are smart about what you do.

+1 on the drifting...500 is a lot for two tires, but it could be worse. You 19" users are paying a stupid amount for tires!!

I use mine for pleasure, and pleasure only. I enjoy modding it, washing it, driving the hell out of it, showing it off, and and oddly enough...worrying about it. It is my girlfriend, literally.

Cruising in my recently cleaned / shined Z.

Also, feeling the power of the Z from 2nd gear on up... Especially on a nice open stretch of road.

I just enjoy driving the car no matter what kind of driving opportunities arise.
This is one of the reasons I like it more than my s2000 that I had for four years. I don't have to push it to have fun with it because there's always plenty of "right now" power which is great for around town driving. I enjoy detaling it, changing fluids and trying to keep it an nice as possible.
I'm glad another crappy New York winter is almost gone and I can start driving it instead of talking about it. I don't quite have 5000 miles on and I can't wait to get back out there again!
