Could be for someone I guess. This 370 is perhaps my 20th two seater or 2+2.

Before the final curtain I could love an Aston and a Bentley, then a beat up old truck to drive around with my turn signal always on.

But remember, spread over several decades.

Apologies if that seemed a brag. I like this Z and am glad to be here.

This is not a thread of political opinion. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SUCH. It's against forum rules.

I'm only guessing here but... But if these tariff proposals succeed. It would affect how Nissan is able to sell cars. If this happens... If a Z is in the works for production? Negative relations with Japan May lead to a lack of importation of enthusiast vehicles. Tarrifs May make our cars too expensive making them unattainable in our market? This fvckin sucks.
The sky is falling.....the sky is falling......

It's kind of hard to incorporate that kind of logic to justify a means to an end. We might get cars and gas cheaper than anywhere else, but we're responsible for so much more than anywhere else. Medical care is most expensive here, education is a costly priveldge, not a right here, income ratios to the cost of living ate out of wack here,moreso than in other places. When you average it out. Cost of living in first world countries are very close to each other. It's just one place will be cheap for one thing. Expensive for another.... It's just reversed how your money is taken.

What about FREEDOM!
Things cost so much because of the restrictions that are imposed on you!
That said, I'll take my guns & drugs and party on!
