I hate to tell you this, but buying a slow ass, no handling, econo-box WILL NOT cure you of that "awful rush". In fact it will make you want you Z that much more.....trust me I know. I have been driving various cars during the year (OMG) that my Z has had issues. My current ride is a Ford Aspire (yes...all 3 cylinders aspire to be something better) and every time I get in the damn thing I'm wishing for my Z. The only "cure" is self-control. I admit its hard sometimes but when you feel the need for some inspiration, take a look at some of the wrecks at [ http://copart.com ]
