From a Nismo to an Avalanche

Matt

When I purchased my 2009 370z Nismo last year, I had just ended a 7 year relationship with a woman and decided to reward myself handsomely. Even though we worked on our relationship and got back together, I kept the Z and loved every minute of it.

I got married a couple weeks ago (we're 1000% better off than this time last year) and just couldn't see keeping the Z forever, which was my original plan. If we had 1 or 2 kids, we might be able to make it work since she has an SUV, but I wanted a little more flexibility in that.

So I found a great deal on a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche and traded-in the Nismo. I lost my *** on the trade-in, but it evened out by getting 10k off of sticker on an Avalanche LT.

This forum is great, and I still plan on lurking. Thanks for all the great info you all shared, as well as the laughs.






P.S. A couple of small comparisons, for those interested:

- Power, handling, speed, sound..... the Z is unmatched compared to this truck. Even gas mileage was great in the Z compared to the Avalanche!
- Comfort, luxury, roominess, storage all make the Avalanche superior for my situation going forward.
- The Bose system in the Avalanche is actually quite good. I pulled all my stereo stuff out of the Z in anticipation of switching it over, but I won't be doing that now. I'll probably add a sub or two with an amp, and that's it.
- Driving the Avalanche on the highway made my Z feel like I was on a roller coaster. I didn't think a truck would be more smooth than a sports car.
