Goodbye 370z :(
 

Well fellow Z owners, I ended up trading in my 2009 370z Sport/Touring Package with Navigation today. She had 20,776 miles.

I ended up getting a 2011 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner Double Cab with SR5 Package......

I was using my Z as my daily driver which was fun, however daily driver and trying to keep her dent free is almost impossible unless you park far and away from knuckle heads, also getting my Duffle Bags and Gear for the Army into the hatch took alot of puzzle solving, not to mention San Antonio City Roads suck........pot hole after pot hole....dodged...ooops another freakin pot hole..........

All in all my Z expierence was great, fast and handled well...not to mention I was lucky not to expierence some of the negative things other forum members expierenced.

370z
POSITIVE:

- Fast and Sexy
- Handling around highway curves/off ramps excellent (feels like you get sucked in a time tunnel)
- Gas Mileage very good
- Interior Design Definite Winner
- Comfort is Excellent


NEGATIVE:

- Potholes SUCK
- Intersection road DIPS SUCK


2011 Tacoma Prerunner SR5
POSITIVE:

- Potholes? What are those
- Intersection Road DIPS? Drive fast and not miss light
- More Room to date sexy baby mama's :P
- "Hey GURL I can see your undies"
- I can pull my boat :) Gettin' ready for the end of the world "Flooding?"
- I can load plywood :) Gettin' ready for the end of the world "ZOMBIES?"

NEGATIVE:

- I get to work 1 min slower
- Don't get your car is Sexy comments
- Big Gurlz hollar at me....thinkin' of more lift and bigger rim/tires with sticker "FATT Gurlz can't JUMP?"

But for now enjoying more room for groceries and military gear, big savings in insurance and using regular gas :) plus ppl tend to move out your way when you got a BULL Guard (Next on list) on em :P Also, I can park next to those nice Z's and open my door on em lol only kidding fellow members......only kidding no harm intended..........

Will I go back to a Z? Probably not....next sports car will be a corvette or porsche......it was fun........but now she's gone......... <tear>


MADE PROPS to 370z Forum......I must add this is probably one of the best if not the best layed out forum on the internet....

I feel ya on why you traded it. Same here man, 8 months i owned it, it had 2 hit and runs in a parting lot, my ZX6R fell on it and my gf accidently smashed the car into the ZX6R. And i couldnt get my army kit in the car either, had to make multiple trips from my house to the base. Good luck with your new ride, i know i love my ride i got when i traded the Z in.

Glad you enjoyed her for over 20k. Good luck with the Tacoma!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! best of luck man!

lol yeah brah...I know......I now can jump that median/curb so I don't miss a left hand turn :) in backed up traffic .....

Really did enjoy the Z.....but most definitely for me it shoulda been a weekend or week night chillin car........I thought about a beater car or a cheap daily driver....but then I was thinkin' what if the Army decide to move me a few states over...........??????? 370Z and moving some luggage wouldn't work and a TOW TRAILER attached simply isn't COOL LOL..........

Dang..been there done that....trips back and forth sux.....when I go TDY and have to fly I end up taking a taxi to the airport or rental car place just so I could leave my car in the garage.........I didn't even drive mine to Wal-Mart and only went to the mall or movie theater early LOL ......lotz of parking spots far away..........

God what the hell is up with people selling their Z AND SUDDENLY BIG NASTY MEAN TRUCKS -_-

they just want to STOMP you, vegitto. :tup:

I LOL hard at trucks I have a deep hate for them.


except for the Dodge RAM especially the SRT-10 version that one is delicious.

LOL, I use to hate trucks with a passion.......this is my first truck i ever bought...I owned nothing but cars prior to this purchase......I decided on a truck versus a car cuz..........roads here suck ...........but more than likely in the near future I will buy a sports car again........maybe a new Z itch might happen.............

Another one hit the dust!

Hatred of trucks is why I have a Lightning.

Its not a truck. Its a redneck Corvette...

Shoulda went navy!!!!!!!!!!:p

Been there...Land Rover to G35 to FJ Cruiser to 370Z :)

I keep missing the driving experience of a sports car, tire of the anxiety of keeping it "pristine", take a break with a SUV, then do it all over again.

I loved the FJ Cruiser. It was very, very good for what it is.
