370Z Exit Strategy

Compdoc777 · 08-23-2012, 09:27 AM

Wow the difference is night and day between my 370z and my Nismo in suspension the Nismo will shake your teeth out while the 370z is smooth and soft. Should let her ride in a Nismo maybe she'll have a rethink.

Back to the question, I personally prefer the Lexus. They ride so smooth and gf/wife-friendly. I own a g35 coupe too. It doesn't really give you much smoother feeling then the Z. As for the bimers, they are always nice... when they are under the warranty. So be caution if you planning on a used one.

This is another approach*. So just have her sell the Z and get what she wants. Problem solved.

* not what I'd do.

My wife. "Honey when are you going to put swaybars and Coilovers on my 350z?" Want to trade wives?

Freaking hate reading posts where people are trading in their car or can't pay for mods because their wife says so. Grow some balls damnit why would you let anyone tell you that you can't have something that you are passionate about?

Is it your only car? If its shared it stands to reason that it would be a shared decision. If its YOUR ride, then it would seem to be your decision. My wife picked hers and I picked mine and that works well. Does she love the Z...yes and no...does she have a say...with all due respect she does not. I drove both the cars you mention and neither compare. If you love the Z...keep the Z. You'll resent her if you trade it in and hate your new car.

Or does and just wears the pants in the relationship. It’s called a backbone or also known as just letting your nuts hang.

I agree, but it does handle bumps very poorly in OEM configuration. My Z06 was a much better car over bumps, oddly enough. Way more controlled. New shocks might be just the ticket.

I see it on every forum I am on. On the firearm types, it is:

"My wife would kill me..."

On the Corvette forums its:

"My wife wants to go to grad school and wants me to sell the Z06 to help pay for it..."

On the 370Z forums its some form of:

"My wife doesn't like my car and wants to get something like a 5-series..."

Here's the lesson...never do **** for a female. You WILL hate yourself after the divorce when you are driving past your old/her new house in the car you didn't want.

Totally true. BS has a limit beyond which nothing compensates.
