Kids and the 370z
 
Just wondering if any of you have kids. I have 1, 12 year old and never thought about a 2 seater before now. Not the most practical car but Im in 370 love:worship:

ProfessorDave 05-18-2011 09:05 PM

When I was in your shoes (sort of...kids are only 18 mos apart) I bought an RX-8. 4 seats. Fun to drive. Make you go broke at the pumps. Traded it for a MINI Cooper. 4 seats. Good mileage. Great fun. Complete piece of crap.

Get the Z if you love it, and a DD for trips with the kids.

dAvenue 05-18-2011 09:08 PM

I have zero kids and loving it.

DrEvil 05-18-2011 09:16 PM

My kids are 25 and 22, thats why I get to drive a Z now:bowrofl:

Doubling up on the plural Dave? Check. Doubling up on Evil? You better believe it.

Wait...does that mean I have FOUR kids?!? I had no idea! I must be the Governor of California! :icon17: (I'd better get a Clubman...)

Nobody has come knocking at my door...yet :happydance:

So then with that said, does my Spanish accent still surprise you?

KillerBee370 05-18-2011 09:40 PM

I have 5 kids ranging in age from 4 months to 19 years.

I have kids -- 21 and 23. They drive their own Z's. A few of mine they weaseled out of me.

Lemers 05-18-2011 10:33 PM

I have 3 kids 11, 9, and 8. When I had a last car a four seater I still rarely drove the kids around in the back. My other car is a ford explorer so the rule with the wife is who ever doesn't have the kids takes the truck. It's working out pretty well right now.

And to tell you the truth the 8 yr old girl like the Z the best of the kids.

Doug&Michelle 05-18-2011 11:03 PM

We have two girls....eight and eleven. We have a crew cab Frontier and recently ordered a Juke for hauling the kiddos around. The Z is our date night car plus my fun toy. I drive it almost every day unless I think the weather will be bad. Love me some Z.

I hate studying for tests... :tup:

TheGreatOne 05-19-2011 12:09 AM

The wife is 3 months pregnant....luckily she agreed with me getting it now before kids came into the picture. She said 2 yrs from now it would have been a "hell no"

I should be keeping the Z, wife has a 328Xdrive, perfect for Baby seat lol

KillerBee370 05-19-2011 12:15 AM

A wife should never say "hell no". That's sad.

Well... I guess my wife said that about me getting a bike but that's a little different..

90 ST 05-19-2011 12:53 AM

no kids, and i've been sniped, so i'm safe!

same here my daughter of 8 years and loves the Z:tup:, thinks its her car but do let me drive it on and off

Evil Sports 05-19-2011 06:12 AM

Well I have a Ridgeline and a Rx 330 so I have that covered.

Fatalsports 05-19-2011 07:57 AM

Have a 2 year old daughter and thinking of having another little one. My wife is a stay at home Mom...she has a 2011 Maxima. So any trips involving all 3 of us...we go in the Max.

I do miss not being able to enjoy the 370Z with the entire family...but if you have little ones...look at the mess they leave in the back seat/car seat and you will be happy you don't have to deal with that in the 370!

EgoTrip 05-19-2011 08:02 AM

0 kids

If I had kids at home, there's no way I'd be able to afford a 2-seater, much less be able to justify one.

kenchan 05-19-2011 08:35 AM

2 little ones for me. I only drive the Z on the weekends when I get a chance. :)

I hope you mean snipped, 90 ST! Getting shot by a sniper sound MUCH more painful! :icon17: (although, depending on the injury could have the same effect on your fertility) :icon14:

This 21 year old kid of yours... Is this kid a girl? Goes to UC Davis? Drives a 2003 350Z 6MT?

Only reason why I ask is because I know someone of that age who comes from west sacramento.... It would be a weird coincidence to run into a friend's dad on the forum... LOL

TWYNBYZ 05-19-2011 03:19 PM

My wife is 32 weeks pregnant with twin boys and I just purchased my Nismo two weeks ago. The Z is my weekend/fun car. I have a DD for work and a SUV for the two kids on the way.

Are you gonna stretch that NISMO into a maxima?

Nope. My 21 year old is a guy and he drives a 1982 zx turbo, 5 MT that is mean, loud and extremely fast. Its color is a primer black. It sits low on the custom built Koni coliovers he made.

Yeah, they are both dream kids, what with a couple trips each to juvenile traffic court, late night visits from the cops, etc. They are awesome.

Actually, they both pursue careers in automobile technology and are enthusiasts on top. It is pretty cool. I have a couple of great resources to get car-stuff done when I don't want to do it myself.

chuckd05 05-19-2011 04:46 PM

When I finally have kids I'll be driving an M3. Until
Than I'll be rocking my Z.

My buddy has a e92 And his son knows our two cars as the "race cars". He will always say "daddy are we taking the race car ? Or mommys boring car? (qx56).". He's 5 ... Teaching them young is gtg

BuckeyeZ 05-19-2011 04:50 PM

This is exactly why I got a Z.......so I had a good excuse to leave the kids at home!

Hambone1 05-19-2011 04:56 PM

I got a Z to outrun any children I may have...

SPOHN 05-19-2011 08:27 PM

I have one boy. He's 13

mdezz 05-19-2011 09:17 PM

5 year old twins here
