+1. The Avalanche has always been an SUV I've wanted.

Now that you have clarified the situation, I would say that you should have kept the NISMO, and you should definitely keep THE WIFE.

I remember I had a day dream about a week ago. She just had our first baby in this dream, and I pushed her wheel chair to the curb of the hospital, took our baby from her arms and turned to put him/her into the car seat... only to find the Z parked there. I looked at my wife and said, "It's ok honey, I'll come back for you!"

After that dream, I just felt I had to do what I had to do. There is no doubt, however, that a Z will return to my driveway....eventually.

Damn, you got married pretty quick and ditched the Z before your new wife has even conceived your first child! That's some fast moving. Good luck!

Marriage = Neutering

I wouldn't call getting married after 7 years of living together "quick", haha.

Marriage = making decisions for the benefit of your family instead of just yourself .... not to sound too "hallmark".

You know what you did and why you did it, no worries. Like I said earlier... that truck is awesome.

It's not like you went and dumped your NISMO for a minivan.

My bad I misunderstood your original post. It sounded like you broke up and found a new girl...I missed the "got back together part". I'm just raggin' on you man. Best of luck!

No worries. That would have been quick! Marriage or not, no way I'm dumping the Z for a girl I've known for a couple months! haha.

@Mustang - Thanks!

Ha, traded my '08Ford F250 twin screw diesel for the Nismo....

Nice truck man! I'd drive it. Please stay with us in our forum. You're always welcome here.

Since she has a SUV, why did you sell your Z? It sounds like you have no kids anyway from your post, ("if we had 1 or 2 kids").
I just don't get why people need to buy SUV's.

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!

That's AWESOME!

+1 repped.

PapoZalsa · 08-11-2010, 09:01 PM

I would never get rid of my Z or any other car for that reason. My car is my hobby, no way Jose!!!

That is why the old lady has a SUV (family transportation) and I got a "hupty" small pick up for the things around the house.

But is his decision...
