My sacrifice
 

Well guys, my beautiful baby is gone...:shakes head: I traded her in for a Ford F150 supercrew. Recently I separated the military after serving 9 1/2 years and relocated to Las Vegas to start a new life with my family. I was considering just buying another vehicle, but it didn't really make any sense. Especially after purchasing a new home. I traded her in for an older, but equally fixed up and equal condition 08 F150 Supercrew XLT 4x4. Man guys it was so hard for me to give the key fob to that devilish salesperson. I was literally shaking as I handed over the fob. So sad...

On the brighter side though. Since I made the sacrifice, my wife being so proud of what I did for the family, told me I can buy another sports car in a couple years! So I showed her a picture of a 2010 Z06 and said, "Like you'll really let me buy one of these." To my surprise, she said, "Why not? Of course I won't let you buy a new model, but I'll definitely let you buy a used one." At that point, a tear rolled down my face. Man I love my wife!

Anyways a 2010 Z06 will be my next project!:tup:

I wouldn't have been able to fix the Z up, find the answers to all my questions and contribute my own ideas without this awesome forum! Great job to all who maintain this site and to all the members who donate to help keep this forum as good as it is!!!

i hope you have a happy ending story. GL! :tup:

What a great wife..

My Wife did the same thing...Once I secured the Home, and Investments, and everything we needed, she let me throw money into my car like confetti...But then she had me trade her 350Z for a 370Z..That I did not see coming, but Happy wife is a happy life, and now I have two hot rods to play with..

So glad you did what you needed to do, and you will be rewarded..Great wife you have...

I always liked your setup, too bad to hear you had to part ways with it.

It's just a car and I'm sure once you get your bearings you will be back into something else :tup:

Happy all worked out for you.............when the time comes your going to love the z06

Should have sold me the wing! :p

Sucks to hear but best of luck with your next project

:tup:

you did what you needed, don't sweat it. Cars come and go, but your family is forever. We had to downsize a lot of our lifestyle when I got out of the Navy, but it was all worth it in the long run.

:iagree: to this, i always thought you had the best yellow Z setup. Never had any interest in a yellow Z till I saw yours.

Thanks for all the positives guys! In a couple years I'll be in a fast car again lol!

Family first, toys second. This does not apply to airplanes and motorcycles FYI :D

Nice man! Definitely was one of the nicest Z's on the forum. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Well if you can't trade a Z for another sports car, a big a$$ pickup truck is a good alternative!

Well props to yea. Sounds like you have a great woman. You willing to clone her?
