My 78 Z has been on the road for nearly 2 years, started with 37,000 to 53,000 miles now, most of this time it's been the only car I own. My next modification is a 1000 pound trailer hitch so I can fish more. I have a pontoon boat and bicycle (for transit back to car) to haul for floating local rivers here in Washington State. I'm buying a cool aluminum trailer with a cover that was originally for hauling model airplanes. So local salmon and steelhead be on notice; I'm comin' for you. The Z is a great daily driver, ok in snow, can be a rod buster for fishermen (close quarters). I did get stuck in the snow last year goofing off in bad weather, it was nip and tuck for a few minutes, I had to back over my chains and connect them, I don't recommend this, but it was that or triple A. As long as there are no kids in your equasion the car works just fine as a everyday car.
