I know... Last car got totaled in a flash flood in Houston...
Good chance I'll be driving it back to park it there and PRAYING TO CHRIST it floods again


And God bless State Farm, they paid me $7k over what I paid for that car, and they'd overpay on this car like $5000

I'm going to be looking into trading it in VERY soon...
I just don't want to get raped on a trade in
It's such a shame because I really appreciate everyone here...
I'm going to look into selling the 1 month old Maxima too...

Wouldn't it be wiser to just sell it to the dealer or private party and then go shopping? What year and is it paid off? Trades worry me because I hate trying to wrap my brain around the numbers.

what if you leave your car just outside a hockey stadium when there is a big game, put visiting teams paraphernalia on the car and hope the home team loses and hope for a riot! the car will be destroyed in seconds!

I've thought about this when i had a ford!

Well, yeah, that's what I'd do
2009 Sport+Touring+Nav, 32k miles, Nissan Factory warranty to 120k miles

I can pay it off whenever I want. I'm just not paying it to build my credit score

That's 100% ok
When do you want the keys?

I have always been pretty free in letting friends drive my car. I don't let anyone drive the Z though because of the drop. To easy to tear something up if they don't know how to drive it. I stare down the techs at Nissan as they pull it into the bay.

DEpointfive0 03-07-2013 09:49 PM

I'm going to stop cluttering this thread...
Sorry OP

TheGreatOne 03-07-2013 09:53 PM

In general I don't like letting people drive my car unless for service etc and as OP said, kinda cool to see your car in motion

I've only let real car guys drive it...like my buddy who had a 335, we swapped cars to see how they felt and I've let 2 guys from my club drive my Z down the 1/4 to see if they can get a better time with it than I could.

When I work on my car some friends help me, and when they work on their car I help them. I have no problem in letting my car buddies drive my Z, most of them are good friends I trust.

I did also teach one of my friends how to drive a MT on my Z, she picked it up within 5 minutes and I made her drive around town for about an hour (mind you at about 4AM).

One of my friends is a NASA instructor and he let me drive his spec miata on track for about 8 hours total, I let him drive my Z on track. At one track day when my brother's S14 blew a trubo gasket and melted the dizzy I let him borrow my Z for the rest of the event.
