Default Nismo Miles

So I just hit 40k on my 2008 Nismo. Purchased new in July of 2008.

Commute ~50 miles per day, even have a set of snow tires/rims for it. Take it to the track a few times a year. Auto-x with it. Go camping with it.

So I see threads with Nismos with only 7-8k miles on them. Why so few miles? These are Nissans and will never hold their value. So why not drive them more?

I have owned my Nismo since 2nd week in Nov of '07 purchased new. So I didn't get much use out of it before winter storage that year.

I have a company truck that I use for commuting to work. In the summer when I should be driving the Nismo, I am often using my Frontier to pull trailers to the lakes. So the car see's around 3-4 kmi a year. Spending most of it's life in the garage.

That's my excuse. lol

Bought my 08 new and have about 52k on it. It's my DD! I love driving my NISMO, just sucks in the snow. How does it hold up with snow tires?

I does great with the Blizzacks on packed snow and ice. I prefer it over my xterra in those conditions. Loose snow greater than about 3 inches, and I park the Z.

got about 13500 miles on my 2008 which I bought on 10/12/08 brand new. It is not my daily driver and spends the winter in the garage. I drive it to work about twice a week if the weather is nice.

bought in '08 and currently sitting at approx. 14k. I'm military and i had to buy a second car with room for gear and soldiers since being in the army and also an NCO makes things a bit difficult with a low sports car, no trunk, and one extra seat. plus hawaii red dirt is HORRIBLE on interiors of cars.

Bought my '07 in January with 15,700 miles and after a 300 mile trip home, I still only have 16,350! It spends most of it's time getting Zaino'd and short trips around town!
