Default Can't believe it's been 8 years....

We've been together from day one... 8 years and 8 months later my 2006 is still running strong. No consumption issues... Just pure enjoyment and a privilege to own.

The odometer just turned over to 58,000km's or 36,000 miles.

That's an awesome story. I'm glad to read Z stories like this one.

I've had my Z for over 10 years, and the odometer is just shy of 60k miles. Mine is an 03 Touring.

Thanks Smooth 60k is awesome for an '03!

it's heartbreaking reading the stories of kidZ buying these cars and finding the cheapest parts to Frankenstein onto it.

Nice looking car, I can't imagine how low my miles would be if I bought mine new but it'd be low.

Hardest thing about buying new is watching the Z depreciate... I paid close to $56k Canadian back in '06.

I've had my Z just over 11 years. I bought it brand new with 16 miles on the odometer and it has just under 24,000 miles today. That is roughly 2200 miles per year.

Great feeling knowing that the car has been taken care of from day 1.

Love your Z. Only criticism are the side skirts; I feel they are too "rounded off" compared to your other bumpers which have sharper edges.

Thanks for the great feedback If V3 sides come up in the marketplace I'll be sure to pick them up.
