because it has been close to 4 years, since you last drove it at its full potential? (assuming you still got a few bugs to work out) other than that idk. ive had my S13 for a while now and sometimes ive thought the same. (like right now its up for sale) I want to buy another Z. i miss my Z. aren;t we suppose to race when I got another Z going / when I upgraded turbo on the RB.

Well... if the thoughts persist, you could always try letting your car down easy, you know.

Going up to your Z one day, "It's not you, I's me, I'm sorry..."

Or you could always park it in the middle of a vast field and tell it:
"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you anymore!"

and then run away all girlie like.

oh! and no, I couldn't know why you'd be thinking that...

I think most of us have thought about selling our Z's at some point. I know I have but I got over it and Im glad I didnt sell it.

wife, kid, job, mortgage, parents, house repairs, not a kid yourself anymore. and then entertainment. At this point in your life, any extra free time needs to go to the family. No time for that stinking Z. It's almost a thorn in your side, you know what needs to be done, but you're lacking the time and energy to do it.

Don't sell it. You won't find another one like that one. Just store it away, out of sight for a few (10-15) years.

Because you have had a mental lapse in judgment? Are you bored with it? Is it not performing as it should? You tell us. Maybe it's just not for you anymore.

Why do I suddenly have the sudden urge to slap you and call you susan?

After all the money you poured into it to make it so damn pretty, you crazy.

or maybe me selling my Z is rubbing off onto you? If so i'm so so sorry but it has to be done.

FYI, i'm driving the tegra as a daily driver and i wanna get rid of it already. Stupid thing is falling apart and insists on sucking up all my monies.
Still trying to sell the Z and after that the integra is going as well. Although it gets great mileage

I've been looking at BMW's lately.
That's the flavor of the month right now for me.

I think CC and Rizz summed it up best.....aside from the Susan part. And trust me....I keep slapping myself whenever this thought comes into my mind. I'm payin' $100+ per month for insurance, but not driving it. I should cover it and work on it when I get the rest of the crap. No kids yet, but everything else applies. Dropping $75k+ on a pool, spa, patio and landscaping work has apparently had some kind impact on my thinking. I can just put the absolute minimum coverage on it and save myself some $ that way. Other than that, what would I get for it if I sold it....$10 - $12k tops....what a f*cking pathetic, gross waste of money that would be. I knew I could get you all to talk me out of it.

Sorry B, I seem to have misplaced your number.

if your TRULY not driving it, sorry if its not as much as im thinking, but when my friend just worked on his car and never drove it, he left flood and fire insurance on it or sometihng and thats it so incase the garage it was in fell down or caught fire, teh car would be covered. but thats it.

BMW is a very well built car. 92+ are just amazingly simple & so durable. IMO the E39 is hott!!!





and of course the "to die for" M5:

Yes, those beamers are sharp but so are their prices. I'm not too fond of their gas guzzling features either.
I'm actually looking at the 3 series BMW's. 4 or 6 cyl with a manual trans.
If it ain't stick, it ain't worth driving.
and since i'm a cheap bastard i was looking for something less than whatever i get for my Z. @4k or so, but first things first. Someone buy my Z!
