Kids and the 370z

Evil Sports · 05-18-2011, 08:58 PM

Just wondering if any of you have kids. I have 1, 12 year old and never thought about a 2 seater before now. Not the most practical car but Im in 370 love

When I was in your shoes (sort of...kids are only 18 mos apart) I bought an RX-8. 4 seats. Fun to drive. Make you go broke at the pumps. Traded it for a MINI Cooper. 4 seats. Good mileage. Great fun. Complete piece of crap.

Get the Z if you love it, and a DD for trips with the kids.

I have zero kids and loving it.

DrEvil · 05-18-2011, 09:16 PM

My kids are 25 and 22, thats why I get to drive a Z now

Wait...does that mean I have FOUR kids?!? I had no idea! I must be the Governor of California!

(I'd better get a Clubman...)

So then with that said, does my Spanish accent still surprise you?

I have 5 kids ranging in age from 4 months to 19 years.

I have kids -- 21 and 23. They drive their own Z's. A few of mine they weaseled out of me.

Lemers · 05-18-2011, 10:33 PM

I have 3 kids 11, 9, and 8. When I had a last car a four seater I still rarely drove the kids around in the back. My other car is a ford explorer so the rule with the wife is who ever doesn't have the kids takes the truck. It's working out pretty well right now.

And to tell you the truth the 8 yr old girl like the Z the best of the kids.

We have two girls....eight and eleven. We have a crew cab Frontier and recently ordered a Juke for hauling the kiddos around. The Z is our date night car plus my fun toy. I drive it almost every day unless I think the weather will be bad. Love me some Z.
