1981 Datsun Stanza hatchback 5MT (inherited it from Grandpa with 140K miles - put another 50K on it before donating it)
1988 Nissan Pathfinder 2dr (inherited it from Dad with 220K miles - put another 100K on it before some idiot hit me and insurance totaled it).
2005 Ford Explorer Sport 2dr 5MT (bought it with 50K miles - put another 100K on it before donating it in exchange for the CR-V).
1999 Honda CR-V (inherited it from Dad with 200K miles - put another 150K on it before I gave it to my cousin who promptly killed it by not changing the oil )
2001 Nissan Sentra (inherited it from Grandpa with 50K miles - put barely 2K miles on it before trading it in on a new Z for my wife).
2004 Honda Accord EX-L 6MT (bought it with 40K miles - put another 60K on it before trading it in on an Acura lease for my wife).
2011 370Z (inherited it from my wife when we got her the Acura - 91K miles and still going strong )
I can't believe one of the most integral members of this forum got his Z as a hand-me-down.

What might have been if you had been handed another sedan.

Butterfly flaps it's wings and all that.

She didn't even step foot in the dealership - she sent me to look at a used Z. It was already sold when I got there, but I took a test drive anyway and fell in love. They found me a new one at another dealer with the color and options we wanted and had it shipped over - and the used car sales guy got commission on a brand new car.

I posted on behalf of my better half for the first year of ownership. Then she changed jobs and switched from a 15 minute commute against traffic to a 45 minute commute on the other side of town with ridiculous traffic and lots of hills. The 6MT wasn't fun anymore as her daily driver. I tried to convince her we needed a 7AT Z as well but no dice

Most of what I post here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything I post here as fact.
