Keep an eye on your health the next few weeks as symptoms may surface. Document any headaches, pains etc...

Good luck with it all.

Take your time in finding a new ride

Budget: I think the wife freak out level for a used car would be around 40k.

B&W_Evader · 07-17-2019, 04:12 PM

Any more than that and I'll have to buy her another new car effectively doubling by cost level. LOL

Tell her you were psychologically traumatized by the accident, a new used sports car is the best way for you to regain your bearings, and surely your mental health is worth $50-60k...

Happy to read you are ok. I would stay with the 370Z or maybe have a look at a pre-owned C7 Grand Sport. Good luck.

abm89 · 07-18-2019, 02:13 PM

Glad to hear OP is ok. If you decide to get another Z, look into a VR swap; at least, that is what I would do if I wanted to stick with the Z.

Lvcky69 · 07-18-2019, 08:17 PM

C7? save more money and get yourself a 911!

markesc · 07-21-2019, 11:07 AM

that new vette is sweet. I'd go for that or a used ZL-1 in a heartbeat.

B&W_Evader · 07-22-2019, 09:31 AM

Right now I'm leaning Corvette. 911s get a little pricey once you start looking at the good ones.

B&W_Evader · 07-22-2019, 09:32 AM

I need to find out if I fit in one.

UNKNOWN_370 · 07-22-2019, 09:51 AM

BMW M2
Toyota Supra
Corvette Grand Sport
Camaro ZL1
Mustang GT PP2
Charger SRT scat pack
Used Nissan GTR
Used Audi R8
Used MB C63 AMG.
Jaguar F type.

Not in any particular order. But all hit the next level of performance and are fun as hell.

Picked up my new ride last night. While it's not a 370, it's still a Z. Probably won' be hanging out here as much as before. It's been a great forum with lots of great info here. A lot more than the corvette forum appears to have on first impressions.
