BIG delema, need help clearing my head.

Just FYI my daily driver is a regular cab full size truck (I am a single parent). I just put the car seat in as described in the owners manual and roll. There is not much I can do about it considering I dont have a back seat and cant afford to sell and buy. I do put a beach towel down to protect against stains and the child seat from wearing on my seats. Just get the 370 so you dont have to see one later in life and say "I had the opportunity to buy one of those back in the day"

The guys on this forum seem very friendly and knowledgable so I feel I have a place to go for questions and answers once I purchase my Z. As for the G37, I was looking at those too but I just don't like the way they look. The backseat didn't really strike me as a reason for purchasing it either. I also would definetely not put a baby in a G37. Keep it in your Altima if you have one! Make wise decisans with your girlfriend and good luck on your deployment. Enjoy the states and have a beer for me haha. America is the greatest!

will do thanks for the imput.

Dude... you're 22.

Take it from a guy on his second wife and has 5 kids (one almost as old as you). And I'm only 38!

Do for you until around 30 years of age. Then do for some female that you feel is worth your time.

Crazy4Z · 07-28-2011, 11:54 PM

I have a kid and I have a 370z. My girl has a jeep. Id say have your fun. Besides the Z was ment only for me.

mchang1988 · 07-28-2011, 11:56 PM

I'm 22 years old and I once thought I was going to get married and have kids with my ex. Didn't happen...Moral of the story? get the Z

McFrostyJ · 07-29-2011, 12:05 AM

Z now. You are serving our country, you deserve the Z!

takjak2 · 07-29-2011, 06:51 AM

Z

Have fun on deployment, don't let your girl spend all of your hazard pay.

Good to see someone giving some extra wisdom to a young soldier.

OP: Remember bro, allotments are your friend.

oh and get the Z. I wish I had gotten one when i was still in the service, but because of recent financials, I am doing the regret one day, hope the next.

TypeOne · 07-29-2011, 11:26 AM

I hated my Z as a daily like... a month after I got it. I thought about selling it or trading it in.

BUT

I stuck with it and now I can't think of another car that I want more.

Z FTW

tjlazer · 07-29-2011, 11:53 AM

I have a kid and I was facing the same decision and decided I liked the 370Z better than the G37S. But I know what you mean, there are times I wished I had some back seats. Though my son is now 5'8" at 12 lol so he might be getting too big for the back seat.

I say get the 370 and if and when you have a kid you can always trade it in for a 4 seater.

Carno · 07-29-2011, 12:12 PM

My advice is to use two forms of birth control. You're 22 dude, take no chances on getting her pregnant.

Oh yeah and definitely get the Z.

4r3s · 07-29-2011, 02:38 PM

You're 22, get the Z.

RCZ · 07-29-2011, 02:43 PM

Z all the way. The G is for punks.

oops.

kenchan · 07-29-2011, 02:53 PM

coupes + infant carrier = big PITA.
coupes + child seats with 5point harness = PITA
coupes + booster seats =

i speak from experience.

xjx · 07-29-2011, 02:54 PM

I used to drive a truck. Id carry my daughter and wifes bikes to the park, help people move, etc. Im no longer a family man. Im not going to haul people or thier junk around anymore. This car is for me. Thats all. If someone needs a truck...go rent one.
