If you still own your 350Z . . .
When is the last time you drove it ?
AND
How many miles did you drive it last 12 months ?
4/2020
30 miles
(I am curious about how many garage queens we have here)

Some time in November? IDK, I only drive it on perfect days and I live in IL. so I don't drive it a lot. If it was stock I wouldn't care, but with all the money I've put into it I want it looking pristine as it does.

Just got home from driving my '03 preorder track model. It doesn't get used as much here in our Colorado winters, but I still get out quite a bit.
So... 1/28/21 and 1,500 miles

I daily drive mine, and weekends I try to let her rest. Been working on my pickup the last while so this weekend going to park my Z and take the pickup for a road trip. When I bought the Z I thought it was going to be the other way round, but my Z is so reliable and almost never has huge problems if you do preventative maintenance. My pickup I will drive this weekend then probably park her in the garage and fix other issues I could not get to.

Mid November when I drove it to the storage warehouse. Being it has summer tires and I live in Pittsburgh, it gets stored from Nov-April. Put on 4,000 miles last year (first full year I've owned it). Next set of tires will be all season so I can get more use out of it.
Original owner only put 38,000 miles on it in 16 years.

I really only put 1000 to 1500 miles per year ... usually can only drive it 10 to 12 times between the months of October through April. My driving is usually a few times per month to work, a handful of trips to the track, a few trips to the grocery store and maybe a few cars & coffee / meets.
I'm up to about 67k miles on my 03 PPW touring

I washed and drove it last week. Spiffy clean. And of course it rained that night. Doubled the chance of rain by washing my daily same day.
In last year, maybe 250-300 miles. But then, bought it in early 2012 with 73k and as of this week, just under 78k.

Wow, I’m surprised how many people there are like me that don’t drive the car much. I avg about 2100 miles a year. Although that number is skewed because the first 5 years of ownership I really drove it a lot and the last 11 barely any. Guess how old my first kid is? Lol.
I’d drive it more but w winter it basically shaves 4-5 months off the year and w/ 2 kids and a wife it basically shaves off the other 6-7 months. Thats why I keep thinking how practical a GT-R would be. It can uncomfortably seat 4.
w the pandemic and all I think I put on maybe 400 miles last year. This year its getting some new upgrades so I’m sure I’ll find reasons to drive it.
