+1. The Avalanche has always been an SUV I've wanted.

Since she has a SUV, why did you sell your Z? It sounds like you have no kids anyway from your post, ("if we had 1 or 2 kids").
I just don't get why people need to buy SUV's.

She has an SUV, sure. But personally, I couldn't imagine, even with only 1 kid (which we plan on having VERY soon) that anytime the 3 of us need to do anything, we need to use her SUV. She can't drive stick, so that means we'd never be able to switch cars. If she needed to go out of town and I needed to grocery shop with the kid in tow, etc., etc. Just didn't make sense to me. And as I've said, I've always wanted an avalanche. I'm sad about the Z but stoked about the truck at the same time!

What? You contemplate switching cars? Well maybe your wife is car sympathetic, cause my wife is surely not and that is why i do not swap with her. Best of luck to ya.

Not permamently, but let's say I needed to transport kids/cargo/etc somewhere while she was at work. If I kept the Z, it wouldn't be possible because she can't drive manual. Now, under any circumstance, either one of us can drive the other car.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Note, I'm not going anywhere...this forum is a lot of fun!

You should of got an Infinitiy G37S. Thats what I would of done.

But I hear ya on the having extra room for cargo etc. That is why I still have my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo 4X4 thats paid off. Sure helps having a SUV.

Glad you are happy man. To each his own my friend. The interior looks real nice and comfy.


I was driving Z's before I met my wife, had one while we dated and bought another once we got married. Keep both in the garage and her 4Runner sits on the driveway. She would kill me if I sold the 300Z. She did not like my '05 350Z but she really likes the 370. Commented the other day about how much better it was than the 350. And, she refuses to drive either, doesn't like manuals.

Now that you have clarified the situation, I would say that you should have kept the NISMO, and you should definitely keep THE WIFE.

I remember I had a day dream about a week ago. She just had our first baby in this dream, and I pushed her wheel chair to the curb of the hospital, took our baby from her arms and turned to put him/her into the car seat... only to find the Z parked there. I looked at my wife and said, "It's ok honey, I'll come back for you!"

After that dream, I just felt I had to do what I had to do. There is no doubt, however, that a Z will return to my driveway....eventually.
