You own a Z, so what do you do with it?

Apart from driving my Z I usually take it for long walks on the beach or the park, maybe take it to the movies every other weekend if it behaves.

Driving my Z to the stadium in the morning gets my heart rate up for my workout. A real time saver.

Cool Are you a car guy?

I noticed you're from GA too, this is the list I was originally looking at as far as tracks. http://www.racingin.com/track/georgia.aspx

And as for it being track ready, it runs perfectly the way it is now. I can't really get on it too much out here because I live on an extremely busy highway near the lake. I'm sure you know where I'm talking about. Cops everywhere, not many back roads too close (in comparison to most of GA) so its hard to enjoy the full power of my Z.

Funds? Roughly 1-2k a month depending on how good of a month I have at work. Just to upgrade/mod the car.



Grew up in Lawrenceville. Crazy how many people from GA are actually responding to this thread.



I think I quoted you just cause I saw you were from GA too, but I realize that this thread wasn't the most creative. I had other questions too that probably would've made more sense but I created this with my phone. I'll edit it now.
You may not be a car guy,real "gear head".
Us guys stay up at night thinking of mods to do.
The list is endless.How can we come up with the money?
Its an addiction.Its in our blood.
Its what makes life enjoyable.
We would'nt have it any other way.

might seem strange but on occasion, when I am not cuddling with my Z, I use it to get from point A to point B

I tow cars and trucks out of ditches with it. I climb rocks with it. Plow my drive way in the winter. Burn gas with it. The normal stuff

On occasion I make sock puppets with it, to entertain terminally ill cancer patients at the local children's hospital. It feels good because it is a work of passion, and I know my Z loves the attention.

The question could have been posted as a poll and it would have been better and probably would have gotten more civil responses.

Note to OP: My350Z is a very informative website. Lots of good people here with a wide range of knowledge, experience and opinion. But you should also know that it is populated by a HUGE number of pr1cks who sit up at night waiting to flame on someone who asks a question they don't like, or that has been asked before in the last 6 years or so. (These guys will make a thread 20pages long complaining about how people who don't do a search create long useless threads). It sucks, but that's the way it is. So in the future, consider how you will phrase your question, do a search or two, put on your Nomex underwear and post away.

In any case, to answer the question, I use my 07 Enthusiast as a daily driver and I take it to the track on the weekends. My only mods are Carbotech brake pads, ATE Super Blue brake fluid and a set of 18x9.5 Enkei track wheels. I'm not into mods. I modify as little as I can to get the performance I need.

I use mine to keep dust off my garage floor, tie up money, take up my spare time, and for 3 thousand miles a year go for cruises with the wife. My top only goes up once a year and stays down from march till the first snowfall, at which point it sits and does nothing until the first big rain washes away the salt from the winter snow. Worth every penny especially since the wife wont ride on a motorcycle and I like not having to wear a helmet and full gear when I use it. My 350zr is the best purchase I have ever made. My 350 sits where my trailer, snowmobile, and ATV used to sit. I get much more use out of this toy.

This is most likely the truest statement I have read about a "true" car enthusiast.

You sir deserve a medal for this.
