Trenton is a ****-hole.
you can't even stop at some intersections at night.
My 05 has just about 32k miles

5k mi. a month and 10mpg? HOW>>>
Do you sit in traffic for work? (I.E. Trucker) Are you talking about an 18wheeler?

Bought my 03 June 3rd with 539 miles, now I have 3,011. So not really to bad but the guy who owned it first had to have the record. 5 years 539 miles! Seriously why? It's a Z not a collectors car.

For most people its about 4 miles from my house to work.
For me its around 20-25 miles, sometimes up to 35 miles, it really depends on weather I have time to turn around and hit that twisty section one more time or not.

20k I bought mine march 07 . I work 95% of the time out of town ,my company give me rentals, but still a lot of miles for little over a year when I was out of town for 5 month out of 7 months. Last week I bought a beater 2002 Honda accord with 115000 miles.By the way the clear coat of that Honda after 6 years look better than my Z the paint look like new shame.
Generally, I don't understand why people complain about how many miles are on their car. Also, I don't understand why it matters how many miles you put on your car. You buy your car to drive it, so enjoy it. As soon as you take a car off the lot, which doesn't apply in your scenario, the car's value depreciates significantly.
I try not to drive my Z. I always make my girl drive her truck or ride with people. I think its cause i'm frugle. Now that i'm trying to sell her i drive all the time so i can advertise it.
I know I drive alot. My school is about 40 miles away. So I average around 100 miles a day or so.. I bought it new in March of this year and I have nearly 11,000 miles. Sucks.
