Gentlemen,

My daily driver is a 2012 Subaru OutBack Wagon, and my Bride's is a 2011 Lexus ES350.

How do they compare to the 370Z? They all have 4 wheels, a hood and a trunk. And that's about it! Oh, yah! One of them puts a smile on my face that approaches being illegal in all jurisdictions.

While I appreciate the condolences,
I think I'm gonna have to call you on incorrect use of an Emoji

This doesn't really seem appropriate in this case

Thanks anyways

My apologies, was just pointing at the above post, which was yours, instead of quoting. Emoji says "icon18", did not realize it meant anything other than pointing above.....

Anyway, get better soon.

No worries, friend. But just so you know that Emoji means you're laughing at the comment about above

I have a 2016 Forester XT Limited (originally bought for my wife). Much more comfortable than the Z with more amenities for the daily commute. Has enough power and being pushed by the hand of God during WOT is enough to keep me satiated until the weekends arrive.

My wife has a 2016 Honda Fit. I was going to buy Civic Hatch turbo for myself but she fell more in love with the Fit and its cuteness so she gave the Forester to me lol.

I was DDing a Hemi 14 Grand Cherokee Summit until I bought this last July



A 2015 leftover that I got for a pretty good price

Comparing it to the Z, I don't feel its faster than the 370, will see how it handles this Thursday, anyway, it is more comfortable that the Z and low end torque is crazy compared to both Z and Jeep.

1997 Ford ranger. 2.5L four banger, five speed, bench seat, reliable as a hammer. 253K miles, and doesent burn any oil. not comfy or fast (I lost what *I* understand to be a drag race to a prius, that I had a 5 car lead on) but I couldn't care less where it gets parked. good air conditioning and hauls my crap around just fine.

Then there's always my 2005 Titan, which for the most part is used seldom, but babied just as much as the Z and the Maxima -

My daily is a 2015 Toyota Camry. 32miles to a gallon

But on other days if my mood is too low or too high this what I drive. Lol
In comparison they are David and Goliath. Lol
