When I bought my 1973 240z in 1991, it had 72,000 miles. This weekend, after 26 yrs, I surpassed 172,000 miles in my Z (I wanted to pass the 100,000 mile mark in my Z, before I put it away for the winter).

This got me wondering how many other Z owners have driven their Z car more than 100,000 miles?

It also got me thinking about how my journey with my Z started (see pics below):

She looks really good now...

I bought my 12/70 240Z in 1998 and drove it as a daily driver for the next 14 years, about 54 miles a day.  Started at about 65000 and added about another 160000. Engine still running strong.  It's currently getting some rust repair work done so I can get it painted. Hope to be back on the road next summer.

I drove mine from September 2000 until November 2005 before the main harness fire. And yes it was a daily driver. Did one 6000 mile round trip to Santa Barbara from Florida one week after 9/11. So I am sure I am over 100,000 marker, and like JWTAY finishing metal work, plan to have it reassembled and "running" next summer. Could be repainted by this time next year
