Are you talking about a commuter? I don't think I'd even recommend that...

my second car is a beat up 1989 honda prelude...

For some reason, all those looks from women (when I'm in the Z) disappear while I drive the prelude (so maybe they're not looking at me )????

Why the name 350Z vs. Geo Metro, if you are looking for a 2nd car?

I have an 02 Explorer as a second car... but if I was gonna get another car I would choose something to save some gas and that has 4 doors or at least more space than my Z ...

Get the metro, its got tons of hp and torque. Plus one stock will make the Z look like it's in reverse. The ultimate sleeper! ahahaha chicks dig Geo Metros

That's what I call a reality check .

As far as the original post, get a hybrid to compansate for Z gas milage. I heard Toyota Prius is a good one.

A guy at my work bought a prius and loves it, he said he gets something like 80 MPG ( is that right???). The car is aweful looking, but he gets to laugh at me every time I am filling up at the gas station .

Yup.. from what I've seen.. you could easily get close to 500 miles on 1 full tank of gas..

And.. well the Prius looks better than the Insight.. by a long shot..
