From a Nismo to an Avalanche

Congrats Matt, you seem like a smart, stand-up kind of guy. The fact is in the next few years a lot of the people here will sell their Z and move on to something else. I am lucky in that my wife doesn't give me isht about anything I own, and I have a Dodge Ram too! Best of luck and no need to bail on the forum.

Cool man, gotta put family first. Do you happen to have any goodies left over from the Z you'd want to sell? I saw something about a sound system...

I will keep the Z till it breaks down simple as that

So I'm coming home from work the other day, and there's a Solid Red 370z Nismo in front of me at the light going towards my house. I chuckled, wiped the tear from my eye (I miss it so), and kept driving home.

Turns out, the guy lives in my neighborhood. Seeing him whip around corners going through the neighborhood, and me trying to keep up in a 6000lb truck, was soooo bittersweet.

Just thought I'd share that. Karma has found a way to taunt my decision. Hahah!

When I sold my old Mustang GT for a Civic Sedan (fuel economy) in '06 a built Mustang flew by me as I was pulling out of the dealership. I was like, "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU."

i am thinking the avalanche must be easier to park than the nismo. at least you don't have worry about parking too close to the parking stopper and scratch the front lip
