After that I will have to see what cars are are available, but I do like Aston Martin.

You and Hazazzi, I believe, are our youngest members.

The rest of us are in our mid 20s to 50s.

You often wake up in the middle of the night to pee. You are old.

Yes, but you are not part of our group here in VA/MD that I was referring too.

I was working as a tech in a Nissan dealer in 02-04 and what I saw was a couple of college kids (TCU) and a high school kid here and there. Then it was mustly retirees. driving them. The kids left the house and they could now afford the sports car they always wanted. The C5 corvette just didn't have the fit and finish the 350's did. A couple trophy wives drove them to.

Seeing the number of people who keep spinning out and getting into accidents as soon as VDC is off, do we really need Nissan to add more power to the Z?

Good point.

It'd be a scary thought if most people here switched to Vipers. Those cars make twice the hp and tq of the Z, and they have no form of traction control whatsoever

Very true. A Viper will force you to grow up fast or it will kill you.

I've had my car for a year and the VDC has not been off once, and it kicks in on a very regular basis, the car is allowed to get just a bit sideways. With the financial responsibility of supporting a family of 5, it's not worth the risk of a bent $40k car, and I've bent a couple over the years by driving too aggressivley (admittedly when it's very cold and there is black ice). I used to drive my Camaro sideways all the time, but it just wasn't that big a deal if I smashed it.

Vipers are easy cars to mess up in. I have to admit, the fact that I realize I am not God's gift is why I went with a Z06 instead. They have a few nannies.

Well you also don't want to smash yourself.
