Questionnaire about mileage and use

[Thefunk]

After reading everyone's responses, looks like I did put too many miles in a short time ?
Love driving it but now I can't I feel like I'm in a penalty box ?

I wonder if @qellman32 would agree. 30,000 miles in a year.

TBH, I'd probably have a lot more miles on my car if I had more time. I drive it every time I get a chance.

No such thing. It’s a car meant to excite the human senses.

I love the answers on this thread. Well done guys. These cars are to be enjoyed. We don't know how long we'll live nor how long things will last. No regrets.

Yep, 30,000 miles in a year lol.

It depends on what you got your Z for. I got mine knowing I was going to put a hell of a lot of miles on it. I LOVE DoorDashing, and I LOVE driving this car. I am also planning on driving it cross-country to Cali from Michigan.

@Thefunk you said you did 5000 in 3 months, so about 20,000 a year. I don't think that's too much for a car driven by a passionate driver. Unless you're trying to keep the miles low for a reason, don't think about the miles. Just DRIVE!

Opposite of penalty box. You just scored a short-handed goal!

Never understood people driving cars as little as possible. I mean if it's some sort of fancy collectable I guess - but we all die in the end anyways. Might as well enjoy what you spend your money on the best you can!

Well I can see why some would drive it sparingly, especially a new car. Preservation and all that. Plus my fam and friends would also tell me hey man take it easy but...I didn't buy this car to "take it easy". I need the Murano more than I need the Z so the Murano will get that treatment. The Z is for pure unadulterated fun and adrenaline!

Same. I got my Frontier for a nice roomy cabin, crappy weather driving.
The Z is fun just to drive everywhere. I end up going on a 50+ mile cruise every time I make a grocery store run.

I have gone out on random cruises just to look for other fast drivers to play with lol. And found them I did, fun we had. Its funny how before I got the Z I never really paid attention. Now I feel like we all activate each other once we make visual or audible contact.

I'm asking because I'm a little worried that I may have put too many miles on in a short amount of time.

How long have you owned your new Z?

Is it your daily driver?

How many miles have you put on it (approx.)?

When I did own my 370, it was my daily driver, 70 miles round trip. Absolutely Loved driving it, which is why I'm here and wanting a new one.

I bought mine 1/8/2024. Had 117 miles on it. It’s a toy. I’m fully remote wfh. I have other cars. I go to a lot of car meets and find any excuse to drive my fave backroad usually on the way to a car wash. Yes I use a car wash cuz I have a full ppf that gives me peace of mind. I also wash it manually. Heres where I’m at. I just got my second oil change done. First after 1200 miles break-in. Second for 5K service.

Almost 3 months and I'm at 4K miles. I made a deal with myself that if I buy something I MUST use it.. I try to rotate between my cars but having fun modding and ripping the Z atm. Not worried about depreciation cause they don't take cash or credit where we're all going.

And where we’re going … we don’t need… roads.
