My new rule is that the Z stays in the garage unless it's going to be driven with the top down, as it was meant to be.
There is something to be said for the feeling of appreciating one driving experience more because you've driven something else. I traded cars with the GF a couple weekeneds ago (2009 Mazda 3 auto) and man did I appreciate the Z even more when I get her back. By the way - who can make do with only 4 gears these days!? :
