I haven't even enjoyed the car yet, and I get hit with the news... on new years day lol. THAT SUCKS!

I think this is your best option. I actually was in the process of shopping for my Z when I found out my wife was pregnant. Luckily I already had a daily driver.

Just get the recaro seats and they look right at home.

. Actually I was very close to getting the 09 hatch STI as my dd. Its got plenty of foot well space so that the kid doesn't kick the front seatbacks and wide enough for them to get in out quickly on their own.

I just remembered the shitty subarooroo service and craftsmanship of my 02 WRX and bailed.

Anyway, just don't do **** around the holidays. If there were a way to edit/delete this time of year, I would. Life would kick so much more *** without Xmas.

My point is--don't make a mistake and sell your favorite toy until you have thought this all out or you will add another shitty move to this yearly slump. Stop. Think. Plan. You can overcome this. Give it a couple months of thought. Right now your girl is probably going into this nutty nesting phase where all they do is yammer about "when the baby..." and she has her head in babyville and life is all on pause. Seen it before. No way to beat it. Well, in my state there is, but maybe not yours. The point being, wait until she comes off cloud 9 and you can get some sense in her and buy a 2000's era SUV for cheap and make everyone happy and still keep your Z.

Just my .02 from watching this same thing play out over and over and over with everyone I know around here.

All you have to do is save $500 a month between the two of you and you can land a very nice DD that is kidfriendly. Of course, your girl is going to try and push all this **** on you and make you sell the Z and foot the entire bill, but you need to not give in to that kind of abuse. It's just as much her baby as it is yours.

Smartest thing you've said since you've been on these forums.

Wow man congratulations!

Keep the car. Try to convince her the amount of money you would LOSE by selling it immediately and so rashly, when she herself hasn't even let reality hit her yet, wouldn't be somehow "redeemed" or "set right" when you buy a "safe" car/SUV.

If it's one thing I know, it's women.

I wish you the best, but you're probably not moving a used TT 40th Z for 45k. It could be especially hard this time of the year.

But you may have more luck selling in the spring time, when people will be looking for a sports car, and when less 40ths are sitting on lots. Even then, I don't know about 45k.

But congrats on the new addition to the fam!!!!

I love the car and I'd hate to see it go....

WTF is it with people who have a kid? All of a sudden everything they enjoy has to go, that is a pathetic attitude. Is the Mrs driving this behaviour/thoughts? For goodness sake men in today's society are not men, they have lost their way and they really got in touch with their female side!!

I just don't know what a TT 370z would retail for with all the mods I've done already

Friigin SUV's? Just tell her that SUVs' are more likely to roll in a maneavour situation due to the high roll centre. C'mon stop being a pussy and put your foot down, otherwise you're going to be pussy whipped the rest of your life with her.

Haha, very funny! MX5 and 370 are my two favourite cars, and I am currently tossing it over in my head whether to sell the MX5 that i love and get the 370 which I also love. Can't afford both, damn it!
