She has an SUV, sure. But personally, I couldn't imagine, even with only 1 kid (which we plan on having VERY soon) that anytime the 3 of us need to do anything, we need to use her SUV. She can't drive stick, so that means we'd never be able to switch cars. If she needed to go out of town and I needed to grocery shop with the kid in tow, etc., etc. Just didn't make sense to me. And as I've said, I've always wanted an avalanche. I'm sad about the Z but stoked about the truck at the same time!
What? You contemplate switching cars? Well maybe your wife is car sympathetic, cause my wife is surely not and that is why i do not swap with her. Best of luck to ya.

sad to see ya go man, hope everything goes well with you and the wife. I'm planning on staying single for this very purpose, I dont want to have to make a choice between a woman or my car... i'd take my car regardless but still...

Not permamently, but let's say I needed to transport kids/cargo/etc somewhere while she was at work. If I kept the Z, it wouldn't be possible because she can't drive manual. Now, under any circumstance, either one of us can drive the other car.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Note, I'm not going anywhere...this forum is a lot of fun!

Damn that's rough trading in such a nice car... I'm glad my wife basically forced me to buy this 370Z with her. It's nice being young lol.

That's great that you two can enjoy those cars together!

I'm still pretty young, although I don't feel as young as I am...27 years old. All my friends are 40 years old, and one of my best friends is 52. I'm either an old soul, or just a really boring person...hahaha.

Sounds like me... I don't think a single one of my professional friends is younger than 45. Well, one or two lol.

Let's go with old soul.

I like the fact that my 45 year old friends can hold their liquor after a long night, LOL!


EDIT:

Another thing to point out, is that the Avalanche forums SUCK compared to these forums. Yikes, it's a snoozefest over there.

Glad you are happy man. To each his own my friend. The interior looks real nice and comfy.


I was driving Z's before I met my wife, had one while we dated and bought another once we got married. Keep both in the garage and her 4Runner sits on the driveway. She would kill me if I sold the 300Z. She did not like my '05 350Z but she really likes the 370. Commented the other day about how much better it was than the 350. And, she refuses to drive either, doesn't like manuals.

Matt,
Congrats on the wedding!

I have this to say....and it has been said on many Z forums before now....

"You'll be back!" Once you own a Z, you'll get another before long, the Z is a way of life.
