the chicks

My wife hated the 370Z when I traded it for the 350Z. Now she is OK with it, but I don't care!

That surprises me because in almost all respects the 370z is a better looking car IMHO

I buy cars with out the gf (common law!) even knowing it, lol. I bought both the Z32 and Z34 without her prior knowledge or APPROVAL!! She doesn't care to much, I make more then double her so I have extra I can save and put into my car funds!

My wife was so happy when I sold my S2000 to get the Z. Mostly because she knew I was also looking at a Corvette GS which she said was an old man's car. She is completely happy and brags about the Z all the time.

The first thing my wife said when I bought the 370z was, "This means your not buying a corvette, right?"

Exactly what I wound up doing. My fiancee absolutely hates the Z. Mostly because I sold my 05 STi to get it. She loved that car. She was against me getting the Z from the beginning but I really wanted it and followed through. It's been a year now and she still hates it lol

You should consider her attitude as a red flag.

Well she doesn't give me any crap for all the money I spend on it and my motorcycle hobby so I'll let it slide. I don't think her not liking my car is grounds for ending a 5 year relationship.

When I was going to pick up the 370, I asked my gf if I should go for the Cayman, and she said the 370z is more aggressive, the porsche is more gentle out of the two cars... she brags to her friends about how quick it is... so yah, Id say very girl friendly =) ...

PS.. that was the wind, she doesnt have a pot belly lol

Seriously - good looking couple, good looking car!

Ermmm... no offense... but I don't think we were looking at her supposed pot belly.

My girl isn't into cars, but she loves driving manuals, she grew up with it. It took me a while to convince her the big differences between my old 350 and the 370. It always amazed me how to her they looked exactly the same. She often said "look! its your car" but it was a 350...Although I have to admit, she's pretty good at driving it, she's never driven a Z but she got on it like a pro.

Meh. I still say what was said a few pages back. It's your paycheck, don't worry about what someone else has to say about it. Buy what you want and either she will deal with it or she will move out and save you further trouble. Either way, win/win!
