as for practicality, i had a charger. traded it for the Z because i didn't like playing taxi everywhere i went. huge drawback of having a nice/big car.

That is true, if you only have two seats you can't play taxi! I have driven both th rt and srt and they are really nice rides. They are fast and powerful, but the handling is a bit boaty. One thing though is that they would be a good commuter car for sure. They are comfortable.

If u only have one car it might get alittle frustrating at times. I recommend you get a beater hatch or something down the road

No longer have my winter car and I miss it..hate taking the Z out in nasty rain etc;
Having that backup option for winter and other times helps.

I'm a selfish guy at times so I'm good with the 2 seater but I have the wifes 3 series too so that helps incase i did need more space.

I pretty much drive my Z everyday...I can haul my Muay Thai gear, thats pretty much all I care about...it gets you out of offering people to move or car pool

I'm actually about to have my 1st kid in about 5 months....the wife did say I had better get the car before a kid, otherwise its not practical...so 4 months ago I jumped on it lol, would have been a hard sell later on

Like I said, I still have my truck to use on nasty days or when I need to maybe carry more things.

For the most part, I would just need to stick my golf stuff in something (hypothetically the Z). Other than that, I dont really haul much around in terms of people or cargo.
