Good points digi. Yeah as for me, I would not have anyone or any shop that would be reputable enough that I would trust on my car. Besides, even if I did ask the Nissan dealer to do with it, aside from being raped by pricing, I don't they'd even do it. But yeah, I would never have a dealer touch my car anyways... except for maybe warranty work.

I'm planning to ship my car to Baker Nissan in Houston if that helps.

Haha I've envied others since the 350Z days...

When it comes to dream cars, I guess I'm a Nissan fan at heart. Dad already has the Z32-TT. The GT-R is sick, but it is huge, pricey, and does not come with a manual. If I ever get in a situation where I'll never be able to drive a manual, I would probably trade the Z in for a GT-R.

Alternatively, the missed opportunity was a beautiful silver '04 NSX for under $50k. I would lighten it up and go all motor with it for a daily driver.

With the 370Z, I'm assuming maintenance would be similar to the Z32-TT, so it's way cheaper than maintaining the GT-R.

I haven't checked the shipping costs for the car yet, but I'm definitely shuffling finances to quickly pay it off and then get back on track. You only live once, right? It's nice to enjoy boost and toys while I'm still "young."
