My wife prefers her s2000 but admits the Z is a sexy looking car. Which is good for me because I don't want her touching my car

PapoZalsa · 12-14-2010, 09:51 PM

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

LMBmikeZ · 12-14-2010, 10:28 PM

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!

I wished I had my camera but the memory of her rear end next to my Z's rear end lingers on.

Ah, that familiar story: Boy gets girl, girl sees Z, boy loses girl!

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

Haha, I got my Z for graduation, a few months before I met my girl. Her parents and us were going to meet her friends to eat, and her dad was going to drive his brand new SRT-8 Challenger, and she refused saying she wanted to show up in the Z because it is "hella gorgeous" haha, I was like umm ok lets go.

P.S. Her dad's response, "yeah yours looks better, but if you ever wanna a$$ whippin we can race!" He just confessed a few weeks ago that he wishes he would have bought a 370z instead of his challenger, complaining about the lack of fun while driving.

Accept the challenge, but set the terms: the race must last at least 300 miles (gf's Dad is only getting 13-15 MPGs).

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.

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

elmz · 12-16-2010, 11:26 AM

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.

Would you two get out of the way so I can see the Z?!?

Seriously - good looking couple, good looking car!

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