Well Im past that point with kids but I did have to give up my motorcycle for my 370. That was the negotiation I had to do with my wife to get the

Hope it never happens, but if it came down to the Z or my Ducati, there would be a NISMO for sale.

If/when my wife and I decide to have kids I'm still keeping the bike. I'm just not looking forward to the conversation where I have to explain to a 16-year-old boy why I'm allowed to have a crazy fast bike and he's not.

I was shopping my Frontier around to some Mitsu dealerships looking to get an EVO X, and with the market for them the way it is, they wouldn't budge on price or their shitty trade offers.

I moved on to try and snag a leftover 13' F150 Ecoboost, but they were also wayyyy more than I wanted to pay. So I said F*** it, I'll keep the Fronty, and took it in for service at my local stealership (dealer A). While I was waiting for my truck to finish I ended up talking with the guy I bought my truck from about a midnight blue 370 on the lot. He ended up "persuading" me to take it for a spin with him since he was bored. I loved it and got serious and asked a price. It was what I wanted the EVO for, and a hair less even. But after just deciding to keep my truck, I said no.

Fast forward a couple of weeks at the other Nissan dealer across town (Dealer B) and I see a Gun Metallic Base 6mt sitting on the lot. I proceeded to ask them about their price. I ended up getting a quote and trade offer from deealer B, and took it back to Dealer A. I ended up doing this at each dealership 2 or 3 times, each time getting them to beat each other and make more money on my truck offer. I ended up buying after Dealer A sent me a text with their rock bottom offer (while I was sitting at dealer B). I showed the the salesman, and he sighed, and said I'll see what I can do. I ended up signing shortly after, and ended up around 26.5 +TTL for my base 14'. The funny thing is the same person owns both dealerships, but because they wanted to make a buck, they fought for my business.

TL;DR: EVOs and F150s are 'spenive, dealers fight for my business, I win.


Sorry about the 'Stang, but it sounds like you've moved on nicely lol.
