My 40th Anniversary got totaled in May (I was t-boned). The day I knew it was totaled I had my dealer track down my 2013 Midnight Blue Z. I bought it two days later.

At this point I'd save and be the first to buy the new Z. Setup up deals/ contracts with well know venders and let them use your car for learning and new FI products. Full of win.

I'd buy another one, but would get a touring instead of a base, and probably go the FI route instead of N/A

I like the Z a lot, but since I have a "bucket list" of sports cars I would like to own before I go I probably won't repeat the Z. Next up on the list is most likely a Corvette.

I have had the money for ages to buy anything, but because of my "practical side", I stick with the Z car.
As car and car maker keep getting better it has been hard to not go out and buy the current car of my dreams. When balanced against the amount of fun I have in the Z vs another better car, it is hard to justify. If I had $50,000 worth of repairs to my Lotus, as my buddy did over an 18 month period, I would be far less enamored with the 370Z. I am now in the process of spending all my money on an investment, so I do not need to steel myself against every cool car that has been offered over past couple of years. As much as I would like a new Corvette or 911S, I would likely repurchase a Z. It is just too good of a deal.

Would depend on the $$.
Most likely would only be enough to warrant another Z (which I do like). I don't think it would be possible to go bigger still - even if they payed out $40k for the Z - I couldn't throw $40k down on another car. Maybe $10k (and that's pushing it) and use the rest for something else/save and make payments. ...because the only other cars I want at this point are $100-300k. $40k wouldn't make a dent in those payments.

Well the next stage of my life is probably going to be more family oriented so the responsible thing to do would be to get a more practical SUV.
