I really like where I work now because I get 25 days a year of vacation as well as 10 sick-days so 35 days a year of paid time off (280 hours per year). Also I telecommute half of the time so I usually don't even have to go into the office.

Thanks for all the input guys. I think what I really wanted to know is if the GTR is really worth it for people who have both a 370Z and a GTR or who have driven both. Even with a huge chunk of money I did not want to use that to actually buy a GT-R and instead wanted to get a loan and it to be at the level where I could pay it without eating into my savings just with my base salary which probably will be the case.

I guess I will just have to find an opportunity to actually go drive one and see how I like it. I think I am probably leaning a bit more towards just paying off the Z and helping my current cash-flow so I can save more and pay off the house quicker though.
