You sir, make me glad I don't have kids, and I mean that as a compliment. You see, you've made me realize that I'm just too selfish to be a good father. The magnitude of your sacrifice for your son is almost beyond my comprehension. To say that you deserve kudos would be a massive understatement. My hat is off to you.

Wow. Just wow.
Props for all the heart. Glad my selfish a$$ doesn't have kids! On the bright side you can guilt him into all kinds of chores he can do with his jeep Regardless of your sacrifice, your love of the Z means you are REQUIRED to be a permanent member here.

Christmas Update
Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to those who gave me so much direction when I was prepping to buy my 370. As you know I ended up buying a jeep for my boy for now. Well today was the day. You should have seen his face when he opened up the car keys and ran outside to find it waiting in the driveway.
It still hurts to not have my Z, but what a rewarding feeling to make someone you love feel so good. |

Your thread title is misleading. It makes me think there was a tragedy in the family.
Hopefully, your son appreciates the sacrifice and selfless act and pays it back someday.

What, sacrificing a Z isn't a tragedy? I mean, it's for a good cause obviously. But still.

You are a wonderful father. I personally would have bought my own kid a secondhand car but that just shows the extent of what you feel your son will become one of these days that you bought him something new.
Look on the bright side...now that you bought it for him, if you need a ride he has to say yes...most of the time anyway. |

Odds are I'll start looking for a used 350Z in a few months. It's not a 370, but I'm pretty sure I'd be happy for now. |
