Default Traded my 09 370Z for G37IPL

After two years of owning my Z I decided that I needed a change. As much as I like the beast its to focused for my driving style. I guess the noise was the biggest issue. So deafening on certain roads, mainly concrete, that I couldn't hear my radio .Im alot older than most you fellows so things like that do become bothersome.

Got a great deal for i,t 200 bucks below invoice. Sales guy says their not selling. I think is because people have missed the whole marketing of this car. The price was the main reason I bought it. 10,000 less than a comparable BMW 335I. Its got plenty of performance for me plus there will be only 400 of them made. It may not suit you young guys but for myself is perfect. Pick it up Tuesday

Damn, I'm 54 and the only way I'll give up my Z is when they pry it from my cold dead hands. I really don't find it that noisey. My only bitch is the road noise from the stock tires, those I regret, but thats another thread.

Geez, I am 50 and thought I was the oldest. I have been driving Z cars since I was 20 and will keep driving them even after DMV takes my license away and I am in Depends.

OP: just how old are you? I am older than most here too, but I am thinking about improvements to the Z, not a sedan. It does sound like a nice one though.

IPL is coupe only. At least he didn't join the Mustang bandwagon and kept it in the same family tree

Thanks to all of you who congratulated me for the trade. As for those who flamed me I truly feel sorry for you. I was taught that if you did not have anything good to say,say nothing. My needs from a car maybe different than yours, that was all i was trying to say.

Hope everyone has a great and a safe summer. Enjoy whatever ride you own and drive with pride

To the OP, I think I was indifferent on the congratulatory remarks and the flaming remarks. I could go either way.

However, what I do find odd is, since you posted on this forum/thread, what else were you expecting??? Aside from either positive OR negative remarks? What was your purpose of posting the thread in the first place? I hope you weren't expecting just pats on the back and big hoorays from everyone because that ain't gonna happen. From what I can read, you weren't posting a question. You were posting the fact that you did trade it in and were picking it up this week.

To be honest, what do you expect the forum members to do? Some will hate it, some will love it, and some (like me) will be indifferent. So all I'm saying is that, don't get on other folks for posting what they feel.... this is an open forum, and you invited those remarks (again, positive OR negative) upon yourself as soon as you posted the thread in the first place.

With that, enjoy your new ride and congrats on the change.
