Before reading please do not take anything as me bragging. By no means do I intend to insult or put any one down or come off as a spoiled "brat." I know this is the internet and frankly am sharing a lot, but I have great respect for this forum and its members. I am 28 years old, married, work my *** off and earn everything I have in one form or another. With that said I humbly ask you to continue reading.
It is midnight in New York and I've had a hell of a day. As some of you may know I sold my Z monday. My rant by a former owner thread details my history and love for the Z and my feeling of loss, I miss her
. I sold the Z to save for a house. That's the old stuff...
The New stuff...for confidentiality and privilege purposes I will keep the background details light. I have come into a large sum of cash, now I'm not talking millionaire, by no means am I that lucky but enough cash where I can afford to buy a house comfortably and.....GET BACK INTO THE CAR MARKET
. The wife gave the green light, she knows my passion of cars and the empty garage space is upsetting even if I try not to discuss it. I humbly believe God rewards us for our patience and sacrifice and I cannot be thankful enough for the wife, family, friends and yes, my Boss for getting me here. Enough of the mushy stuff, moving on.
I don't need a daily driver, I don't have kids, I drive a 2008 Camry and/or a Honda Pilot. My family has a plethora of daily drivers, don't ask me why, my Dad hoards boring cars, 3 drivers 5 cars (2 identical 2008 Camrys, 2006 Honda Pilot, 2010 X5, 2011 Ford Edge). I purchase and maintain my own "pleasure vehicle" and have Tier 1 credit. So my fellow Z heads and car aficionados, what do I get? I don't want to blow all my cash, so I'm capping it at $50,000.00, the book is open for anything, except another Z. Here is my criteria in order of importance.
1-Manual, NOT NEGOTIABLE
2-Nimble above average handling
3-Exclusivity (can't have an all carbon Z and get a Honda can I?)
I am extremely picky, I love loud cars and I don't need creature comforts. I want a car that makes my heart race and puts a Joker smile on my face. So what can you guys think of?
