ridiculous question

Nismo99 · 09-07-2010, 10:08 PM

Hey guys,

I'm a huge fan of the 370Z. I'm crazy about them. Beautiful cars wit more horsepower than those ugly Mustang GTs :P I am currently in college and work at a chick-fil-a so money is not coming in abundance right now. I have a piece 88 trans am right now and i really need a new car. I was wondering, i know a guy who got a truck bought for him buy a performancing tuning company as long as he advertised for them. i was gonna ask if you guys knew any possible way i could do something like that? or any other ideas i can get my hands on a Z without paying the 30K i don't have. this might be a dumb question but its kinda my only hope to get the car of my dreams, at least for the next 10 years or so.

If i could get my 370z paid for me, i'd have done it by now!

Well, at least the title was right!

At least you did say yourself that it was a ridiculous question.

To be serious with you, I can only imagine that that story you heard was only partially true.

I have heard of people getting large discounts on parts because they go to every show, cruise night and any other function. But even those are few and far between.

Another way to get parts for cheaper is to work for a shop that sells performance parts. When I was younger I worked as a car audio installer. I always had the best equipment in my car because I got such a deal on it.

You could always play the lottery. You'll have a better chance with that.

You know how pimp an 88 trans am could be? I'd rock the shit out of one of those.

Nismo99 · 09-07-2010, 10:39 PM

sorry guys, just wishful thinking. and frost my car is in pretty good condition for its age. it just has a 5.7 that sucks gas like crazy. And the AC goes out kind of often. I just want something newer and more luxurious. Idrove a Z today for the first time ever and it was orgasmic.

Grow up kid. You deserve what you earn. This is speaking from a lifetime of experience. There have been cars I dreamed of for years, I saved, got better jobs, got promotions and slowly but surely, I owned those cars. I'm currently driving a 2 week old 2010 NISMO, been wanting this girl for a Year. Before her I finally got a 95 300Z, wanted that car for years before it was possible.

If you wait and build up to it, you will appreciate it all the more. It sucks waiting, but in the end there is a sense of accomplishment or "Look what I finally did!!!".

For the folks that can pay cash for the car, lucky them. Work for it bud, that's the real answer. imho this is not meant as a slam, but you just need to exercise patience with life.

Nismo99 · 09-07-2010, 10:46 PM

i do know people that have had cars bought for them that way, and yes i know it was stupid to say all of that. thats why i got ready for all the slamming, just hoping someone could help out or knew of anything like that mentioned above, i appreciate the advice but the slamming was uncalled for

Trips · 09-07-2010, 10:49 PM

Welcome!

spearfish25 · 09-07-2010, 10:51 PM

There is a sweepstakes for a Nismo 370Z. I'd enter that and hope for the best.
