370z owners, what do you do about practicality?

i dont understand why some families need huge SUV's for being practical. they're only transporting one or two little kids usually. lol...

In a lot of cases, you're right, but there are people who may have 3 other kids that you're not seeing, or may have large dogs, or may frequently transport large items such as furniture.

In those cases, the SUV is really being used to its potential.

And then you have the real offroad SUV's, like the FJ Cruiser or Xterra. Those things are usually being driven on city streets, while a minority of that ownership crowd will take it out mudding or rock climbing, which is what those vehicles are supposedly for.

Buy the car now while you are still living in your mom & dad's basement. You will learn to deal with any impracticalities. Enjoy it while you are young. Before you know it you'll have a ball and chain around your leg, 2.5 kids, a big mortgage you can't afford, be going bald, be yearning for your high school and college days and the girl that got away, and be looking at some mini van with fake wood on the sides and be glad that you made one good decision in your life and bought an honest to goodness sports car while you could.
Thank me

rofl...i agree with this guy to an extent. i mean it may be a little financially irresponsible to buy a car of this caliber, but if you can truly afford it without fearing the repo-man...by all means go for it!

my parents lectured me when i bought my Z as well..."why dont you get a lexus gs or something? blah blah blah" my response? "because im not 50 and married with kids".
