Might be also good to list what you use it for because a person that uses it as a daily driver would probably get a new car faster than a person who uses it for a weekend car.

It depends on when I start having children, my employment future, and my location.

If I have 2 kids, a better job, and a house in VA in 5 years...I'll be driving an Escalade EXT, not my Z, sadly.

If it's 10 years from now and I'm still living in GA, with no kids with my current job? I'll be in my Z!

Good question...I hope longer than 7 years this time. I always thought I'd never part with my 350Z because I loved it so much, but when this car came out...I had to have one. I can be very impulsive and it sometimes gets the best of me, despite my better judgment. I would be debt free right now and I could have bought some property in a year or two....but I couldn't fight it. I seriously hope the next Z doesn't get the best of me. I should really buy a house next...

F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

This 370z is my first "sports" car. I'm going to keep it until something dies. Then I'm going to rebuild it. This car holds a lot of sentimental value for me.

Hopefully when that day comes, my car note will be paid off so I can still keep the 370 and get the new one too
