Can't decide between a Z and a motorcycle!!! Help!!

I wish I lived in a climate where getting rid of the truck was an option, but unfortunately that's not the case. Plus I own a house, so there are many occasions where I need the truck anyways. My tax return came today, and with my first-time home buyer credit, it would be a big chunk of a Z or a bike with some money left over. Now that the money is there, I'm under even more pressure haha.

If only the 370 wouldn't have came out, this would be much easier. I loved the 350, but decided to hold off on getting one since I knew the new one was coming. Well then the 370 came and I loved it even more than the 350. Now I'm completely torn. Maybe I should get the bike and wait for direct injection and any first year bugs to be worked out.

I don't know what to do!!! Fun predicament to be in though, i must say.

Draw for your new toy out of a hat, easy as that.

LOL, now I was recommended a C6 Corvette. Used ones with like 15,000 miles go for the same as a new Z. And I thought I was sure I wanted a Z if I bought a car. But damn those things are fast...

Just when I thought I had it narrowed down to 2.....

You could always do a poll and let the ppl vote for you...

i have ridden bikes, they are fun...you may never have as much fun behind the wheel of a sports car as you would on a bike, but i would go with the sports car...unless you have a primary means of transportation otherwise a bike would be cool...so it all depends on wether or not you have a primary set of wheels and it looks like you do from your avatar...a dirt bike is always a nice addition too.
so if it was between the two, you could always get a street and dirt bike and it would still be cheaper than getting a 370z...and a trailer too, so you can hawl your bikes around...

Yes they are fast and have some cool features, but the build quality is garbage. I owned an 06 which GM bought back, I didn't even have to lemon law it because they could not repair it. @ 3,500 miles!!!

Foolishly I thought it was just a bad car and bought an 07 which was also a pos and I ended up trading it in.

You cannot even begin to compare quality and reliability with a Vette. And who wan'ts big brother in the passenger seat with all that on-star garbage. They don't even have bluetooth in their vehicles bc they try and push their cell phone service through os.

Anyway, get the Z! It's safer and you can use it all the time. Much more enjoyment.

Man don't buy no chevy product, junk. My 2 cents though! Everybody is making fun of me for buying a Nissan, but i don't care. My dad is in the uaw (GM) he can't wait to drive the Z.
