370z with child car seat

TheGreatOne

I had to bump this one.

I've actually been looking into this more as its coming down to a "might have to sell the Z situation"

I still need to verify with the local cops here but I think its do able in the front seat.

Situation:

The wife is runinng the show at her company now, so I've been on pick up and drop off duty for daycare more. This means me driving the Z less which is dissapointing. It already sits for over 4 months during the winter.

My Issue:

I hate not driving the Z, I'm not a guy that can let it sit for 2 weeks and just look at it. Its not paid off so I'm sure that money could be better used.

We do have 3 cars. Wife has a nice X5 but my second car is a 2000 Subaru Forester. Its manual and fun but its still depressing to go from the Z to driving that more often.

Also I know I could probably still get 30K locally for the Z and I have less than 19K left on it so I'd make 11K and for sure another 5-7K back for mods that I'd bother take off. So $$ is a bit of a motivator.

Outside of the above, I'd keep it under all circumstances.

Am I crazy for wanting to put his baby seat in front?
am I being a baby about driving the Subaru if it allows me to keep the Z?

Lastly, what the heck would I replace it with. I want something manual and fun.

- 2010 BMW 5 series wagon could be cool (also rare to find)
- 2010 AUDI S5. Small back seat but hey, its a back seat
- 2006 Porsche Carerra 4S. started falling in love with these (and yes, back seat is a loose term)
- 2012 Imprezza WRX Sti - only drawback is the cheap interior and that they are everywhere and lack the uniquness ofthe Z.

You would be crazy to think that, but its all about perspective. It only takes 1 accident to make you regret putting the child in the front seat. And yes, if you have a 2nd car that you can use in the meantime (which only seems to be temporary and in short bursts) you are being a baby about it.

If you are like me in terms of loving the Z, you will regret selling it and getting yourself into something else (altho if the Porsche or audi is an option... maybe the loathing period would be short lived)...

But in closing, keep the z, drive the suburu..maybe do something to it that would make it more fun? There will be plenty of time to drive your Z.

And if it is any consolation.. I drive a work van most times..and I ALWAYS see hot girls in sport cars when driving that pos...but when I am in the Z..its a ghost town in regards to testosterone/hormone flaunting.
