That's great that you two can enjoy those cars together!

I'm still pretty young, although I don't feel as young as I am...27 years old. All my friends are 40 years old, and one of my best friends is 52. I'm either an old soul, or just a really boring person...hahaha.

Sounds like me... I don't think a single one of my professional friends is younger than 45. Well, one or two lol.

Let's go with old soul.

I like the fact that my 45 year old friends can hold their liquor after a long night, LOL!

EDIT:

Another thing to point out, is that the Avalanche forums SUCK compared to these forums. Yikes, it's a snoozefest over there.

Dustin@Z1 · 08-12-2010, 09:49 AM

Matt,
Congrats on the wedding!

I have this to say....and it has been said on many Z forums before now....

"You'll be back!" Once you own a Z, you'll get another before long, the Z is a way of life.

damn so you went ahead with the truck.. looks nice though i loved my avalanche!

lando76 · 08-14-2010, 08:32 PM

This post has me going postal to do the exact opposite. I have a truck and have been dying to get a Z. I have just seperated from my wife of 6 years (felt the need to be with another guy fucken slut) and dammit, im tired of doing the right thing. Sorry United States government, Im not giving back your 7500 first time home buyers credit ive been holding onto afterall. F it. how about I give them an IOU>

OP,

Something I learned while I was married for six years, is that I will never again in my life sell or get rid of something in order to try and make the wife/gf happy. I had sold guns & related items, a motorcycle, a TIG welder and so on thinking that it would help make the wife happier that I did so, and you know what? It made absolutely no difference in our relationship in the long run.

When a woman bends your arm or suggests that you get rid of your 'man toys', she's trying to establish some kind of dominance or control over your you. In a way she's castrating you a little bit at a time everytime you get rid of one of your man toys.

This was a family decision, though... not a "appease the wife" decision.

GTLAW · 08-15-2010, 03:52 PM

So wait you ended your 7 year relationship and got 09 370z NISMO!! Then you get back together with her and you sale you 370z. EPIC Fail!

You say that she already had SUV? so why drive two SUVS for one or 2 kids? Sounds like she made you sale your 370z and she was going to not get back with you..

Woman that do that kind of **** need to left alone.

I can see through all the BS just be real man, you got that truck because she made you!

Just be REAL!

m4a1mustang · 08-15-2010, 03:53 PM

Wow you guys are ridiculous. He's explained his situation very clearly and you are just selectively reading and jumping to ridiculous conclusions.

I don't think I can say it any more clearly, my wife wanted me to keep the Z and is upset that my ultimate decision was to trade it in.

I now have a vehicle that can handle everything I plan on throwing at it for the next 10 years, multiple kids and possible a move back up to the Northeast (NOVA).

I couldn't be happier!

I had a choice. Keep the Avalanche and the Z or continue contributing to my 401k. Hahah!
