Would this make you mad?
 

I bought my base 2010 370z a little over a month ago and now my boss is talking about getting one. I bought mine pretty much bare bones and i know he would end up getting touring, nav, 19" rims and all that jazz. I can't help but be mad about it, i want to say something to him but i also don't want to come across as an *******. Hes a great guy and i have huge respect for him but its not something where we would work on our cars together or anything. He's not a car guy at all either. He told me the Zs only come in black(mine isn't black) and didn't know they even switched to the 370z. I don't want to be an ******* but i think if he got one it would kinda ruin it for me. What does everyone think if they were in my shoes?

he wants a sports car(more like his wife does) GT-R is too much but he did talk about liking porsche a lot too.

It's a car. Just because you have one doesn't mean he can't have one too!

I would be cool with it but I see your point

what kind of boss can't afford a gtr?

:tup: Not a big deal as the more 370Zs get on the street, the better the chance to keep its aftermarket alive. Shows a sign of approval that he's willing to purchase a car like yours. You state he's a great guy, buying a car likes yours shouldn’t change that fact. It's all good!

:iagree:

i think its more he doesn't want to spend that much more than he can't afford it. i just think i would feel 1uped all the time and enjoy my car much less. i'm still going back and forth on if i should say something to him.

No need to feel 1 upped man, your car is just as awesome as his would be (and performs just the same). If the measure of a car what type of material the seats were made out of, I would be driving a lesser car than the Z because of my budget. As has been said, its a good thing he wants a Z, shows he approves of you and your taste - embrace it.

say something to him = you lose your job = you lose your car = you sad =(

If you wanted to avoid being "1uped" then you should have got the touring with sport package yourself. Or maybe you should have considered a used car in the $30k price range since there's a ton out there that cost $45k+ new and are just a few years old.

I see your point but if you got the base model it will be "1uped" by anything other than another base model and I think most folks opt for the sport package when possible. You get a lot for $3k vs. the base.

You could always buy some wheels, lower the car a tad and install an in-dash DVD player. Then you would be a baller too. :happydance:

:iagree:

You should spend a little more time thinking about yourself and not what someone else is doing.:stirthepot:

Don't feel one-upped, man. It's all good!

you have two options:

Forced Induction
GTR

;) :tup:

I would sell the Z and get a Prius and brag about how great the gas mileage is! winning!
