A 370z Horror Story

Xhilr8n! · 02-22-2017, 08:35 PM

I have a teenage son who is beginning this road. Ignorance of youth. No matter what I say he reads stuff all over the internet and believes it will work.

Sure I've modded the heck out of cars, even to the point that they were unstreetable and I had a trailer and tow vehicle before she could move at all.

But NOT my daily driver. Only something that could spend time on jack stands between track weekends. And I was financially prepared to replace transmissions and consider rotors and splitters as comsumables.

And remember, every mod lowers the vehicle's value by as much as you just spent.

You don't keep the car forever. Have the exit in mind.

The sweet Evora S is in Cali. Nice fellow offered a good price and I let her go after four fine years. The Z is filling some of the void. We'll see what the future holds. I'd like an Aston some day.
