traded in (yes, traded in) my Ferrari for a new Nissan 370Z

Ya, some of them have the typical ***-hole response, but some of them appear to be nice people that can think logically.

I recall one saying it makes sense to upgrade to a faster, better handling car that you can daily drive without worrying about miles. To me, even if I had enough money to have an Enzo, i'd want something I could drive and enjoy daily. It's all about experience, and it appears at least a few of those owners are "enthusiasts" that feel the same.

Pretty easy to pick out the guys I wouldn't care to meet though

Well, let's just say, I'm glad to be amoungst some new enthusiasts (370Z Forum) that, at least probably wash there own cars. There are a number of prima donnas on the Ferrari site sad to say.

Now if only it would stop raining here in Texas I could actually wash my car.

So we seem to have skipped a few steps, any more details on the Z?
~Color?
~Model (Base/touring)
~Features (Sport/splash guards/etc)

Speaking of which, where's the best source for aftermarket upgrades for the 370Z? Rear Spoiler, maybe wheels

phelan · 12-17-2009, 02:51 PM

awwww no synchro-rev?

well FWIW welcome to the forums

for aftermarket stuff, just look around for the vendors on the site, they're (for the most part) good. not many spoilers out aside from S-Tune knockoffs. what wheels you lookin' for?

some of you know what i mean lol

Chupacabra · 12-17-2009, 02:54 PM

Welcome dude....

ill be honest I cried a little when i heard the story... but I can see what a pain it can be to have a car you cannot 'really' enjoy to the fullest.

I had a friend do something similar he had a 328 and tried to sell it to me for 14k, i could not afford it then, and he ended up trading it for an elise. and he never regretted it. and neither will you.

as you say.. you've owned a ferrari. bastard.

kdo2milger · 12-17-2009, 02:54 PM

you looking for a stock rear spoiler or after market?
