this is true, i havent really looked into the RX7 before, that would be one sick car to have though

i would get a supra but they are expensive unless i opt for the N/A version

But if you are determined to change things up, the most fun alternative is getting a an STi and prepare it to go off roading. Or a jeep wrangler to go off roading. But for just street driving, I'd stick with the z

Or to save money you get get an frs
Unless it's a Juke-R!

well i would just get the juke to mess around with honestly, im leaning more towards an evo or an STi

i would get an FRS except that thing is SLOW, if it had a turbo i would be all over it but it doesnt, maybe the BRZ STi will have a turbo, iirc its rumored to have one

honestly i kind of want more space and something that wouldnt be so inconvenient at times, like when i had to pick up a few things for my uncle(a stool and a few other big items), i had to borrow my moms maxima to get them because they wouldnt fit in the hatch of the Z, if i had a sedan, or even a FRS, i could have fit everything in the trunk(or in the case with the FRS drop the back seats and then fit everything)

Good luck on your search. a E46 M3 is also a nice option if your looking for something with 4seats RWD.

Boost the motor and never look back. Think about what your goals are for your next car and then once you find a car that matches your goals, then think about selling the Z. Or keeep it...

well im looking something DD, semi roomy, cheap to make fast for DD(thats where the factory turbo option comes in) and something i can just take to the track occasionally(like once every few months), not to be the fastest person out there but just something to have fun in

oh and i want some luxuries like a sunroof, leather seats, and something i can take off road occasionally(i have had to take my Z off road before for work and it is probably one of the scariest things i have done)

honestly i wish i could afford paying 2 car payments but at 19 i cant
if i bought outright thats another story but then im looking at older cars, and realistically i could afford a honda civic or something but i dont want a honda

if i could keep my Z i would turn it into a 100% track car but unfortunately its either keep it and start to hate the car slowly(like the blind spots are getting on my nerves and i hate the ride quality, its just too stiff for street driving), or sell it and get something better suited for DD

understand the feeling for a period of time, I was always trading out cars every 2 years, it wasn't until the last 8 that I settled down.

go for something fun and you like, as long as you drive that hard too
