Hello everyone, as the title says I may be getting rid of my Z in the near future. I have always said I will keep the Z forever but a lot of things have changed in my life and I think this change is for the best. Reason 1, I have recently started a new job that really keeps an eye on your driving record and I feel that the Z may get me in trouble. Every time I take it out someone wants to race me and to be honest I want to race back. We have no tracks of any kind in my area with the closest one being about 150 miles away. Not that bad but its difficult to get time off now that I have the new job. Reason number 2 me and my girl friend may be buying her recently deceased grandmothers house and I'm looking to decrease my over all car payments to help with new bills. I'm also starting to live a more active life, riding bikes, hiking, fishing and the Z is not very practical for this. Not all is lost, I will not be stuck with just my Versa cause I would lose my mind so I'm almost 100% certain I will be getting a 2013 Xterra Pro-4X 6spd. Spoke to Koeppeln Nissan in Queens and I liked what he said they may have even found the truck I want in Mettalic blue. The truck will still be my second car sine I work almost 50 miles away and the Versa will be the DD. The truck will also help when winter hits since my new job expects me to report the closest depot no matter what the weather is like (closest depot is only about 5 miles closer then the one I work at now). So its not set in stone but its looking good on the switch. I'm also considering an FJ but I cant get a crazy good deal like the Xterra.

P.S Car payment may decrease up to or more then $150/month.
