traded in (yes, traded in) my Ferrari for a new Nissan 370Z

ferrari_rich · 12-17-2009, 01:58 PM

no, I did not get the synchro rev. Kind of scares me a bit. Like the Lexus accelerator sticking. Just something else to go wrong???? I don't know. I'm an old guy, so heal/toe is just the norm.

WOW! i always wanted one of those 308s. Welcome there is a lot of info here plus there arent any beatoffs here that i've come across like that other place(ferrarichat) you came from.

some recommendations if you like to work on/upgrade your car:

DIY: illuminated kick plates color change

DIY: Nissan 370Z Oil change (AK370Z way) Pictures inside

370Z UV sunshield product review

Hopefully you won't have this issue, but just in case:

^ good start

Congrats on picking up the new Z. It always nice to see another car enthusiast come on board! From what you say, I'm sure it'll meet all your expectations.

so if this ferrari is yours why is there fine print at the bottom right of that picture as if it belongs to somewhere else

It has about the most beautiful sounding exhaust I've ever heard from a car. Different than the US spec version. I will miss that.

But, I imagine the Z has potential for a sweet sound as well. I'm a newbie to the 370Z, so I don't really know.

My buddies father did do the US advertising campaign for the original 240Z. Got one of the first ones (silver) as a part of the deal, and kept it in his garage for years. I LOVED that car.

Holy hell that's older than ME!!!

That ricer comment pisses me off. I hate when people can't tell the difference between "ricer" and "japanese". The two aren't synonymous! He may have the money for a Ferrari but he's still ignorant.

StLRedrider · 12-17-2009, 06:56 PM

if i may ask, how much is a trade in like that worth?

I'm sorry, but it just seems like they drive cars for the "HEY LOOK I HAVE SHITTONS OF MONEY AND HAVE KEWL WHEELS" with their talk of "oh look at the resale value of the 370z in 4 years LOL"

Apparently it's a lost passion to drive a car for the sake of truly DRIVING.

I didn't even think about the resale value. I'm planning to keep this car as for the long run. It's my lil' project, and it's gonna stay that way!
