You get yourself in financial trouble that way. I always thought of my Z less as a sports car and more as a grand-touring type, because that's really how it felt to me.

I run into trouble sometimes because I will start comparing the feel of the S2000 to my 5.0. How can I get the 5.0 to feel like the S2000? It just won't happen. My suspension guy also tends to serve as my therapist since I talk to him about this a few times a month.

I definitely love having both, though. No compromise.
Yes, I find myself doing this with the GTR. That ( insert super car) is really nice but for the performance and price of a used GTR ....you get my point.

Working pretty much. And moving...my job was moved over to stl from IL and I moved into a new house with some friends I mine so that's most of it. I troll occasionally....I saw Lou this past weekend and he loves the masers so I had to make a comment...
How you been Steve?

Pretty good. Working 14 hour days lately. Lots of crazy stuff going on with work.

Are you bringing Wanda out to ZDayZ this year?

I can't wait until ZDayZ because Lou Fusz is also a big cigar guy so I'm sure we'll light up. Last year I forgot to bring mine.

all the more reason to start Car's and Cigars.

It's an awesome car. I love driving it. I've been driving it all this week since the 5.0 is resting for ZDayZ.

We are swinging by CarMax today just to see what they would give us for the S2000. We are considering replacing it with either an Audi TTS or a 370Z Nismo this summer or fall. This would be my fiancée's daily driver. I know she is leaning towards the TTS but we'll see. Its not cheap to buy and own relative to the Nismo, but it is AWD and gorgeous inside.

...might be interesting to see pictures of you at events in, well, a 370.

Just kidding, just kidding. The cars you have, and the cars you want are all awesome anyway. Really not a bad choice(s) either way you go.
