So the question is, should he get a 370Z or something cheaper (he has ruled out M3). This is what I read in the first post and the rest of the thread.

I understand the well meaning life advice everyone is giving him but it seems to me this is an intelligent guy, so why the need to off on such tangents?

To the OP, get the 370Z base model MT for under ~30K and congratulations on your nursing degree.
Hey platyperz, you got it all correct. Thanks for reiterating my main points in this thread, which I thought were clear. Sometimes you get posts that are tangential, off topic, or misinformed, but I expected it from a forum having a variety of people.

Right now I am decided on a 370Z Base MT with Sport Pkg in white, pg, silver, or black. About a week ago, I shifted my decision to buying a beater and driving it for a few months and save some money so I can buy the Z on my own.

Thanks for the congrats.
