I am right there with you about the Vette. It is also pretty awesome being a Z owner in Colorado where every guy out of college owns a STI. They really can waste me off the line, but they are still driving off in an ugly, boring Subaru.

That's why I bought a Nissan! I am a victim of high expectations.

That makes me reminiscent of the way this forum used to be.

The way people would have responded in 2009: "That's terrible man, what's the problem?" :everyone chimes in to help:

The way people respond in 2011: "WTF MAN, NISSAN IS AWSOME!!! HERE ARE ALL THE REASONS YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!"

If I were stranded somewhere, I'd probably be pissed off too. I don't see any reason to jump his *** about it.

I wish I had a dime for everytime someone posts how terrible the Z is. I'd be rich. People should.... if they really hate this car as much as they say.... just move on!!



And... ibtl !!

With the right tires and common sense, cars are limited in snow only by ground clearance.

Regarding my issues with Zeda, I have extremely mixed emotions about them which you can maybe understand by reading this:

Now that you guys think I am a jerk, you can think I am a panzy too!

Anyone who thinks you're a jerk because your car left you stranded and you're upset about it is no one to give a piss about.

I love the passion of Z owners...I am joining the Z club here in Colorado and am looking forward to hanging out with the Z-heads!

Thanks for the empathy and support

You are definitely not coming off as either a jerk or a pansy.

We have all experienced loss on some level and get emotional over plenty of things. I try to remember that a lot of tone is lost or does not translate well into words on a forum.
