I beg to differ. Happiness is necessary to the human mindset. If you are unhappy,job productivity, human interaction, health, and a host of other things suffer. Ergo, if buying that vehicle will cause you to enjoy life more, then it would be a horribly counterproductive thing NOT to buy it. In fact, you almost HAVE to buy it, if you plan on making the most of yourself. You are doing a disservice to you, your family, and your employer if you don't.

True, but happiness does not always come with money or material possessions. Although having a lil extra in the bank never hurts

Now that's a mid-life crisis I would love to ever get the chance to go through

I've told this before but your Z06 scares the heck out of me. I test drove one and it's a serious monster.

Brings a smile every time; I would also add being able to take off whenever to explore the world helps a lot too

Memorable experiences last a lot longer than material possessions.

I must say, I was surprised to see it on that list. We pretty much guessed right on the mustang convertible, the porsche & corvette

nmjaxx9 · 09-01-2011, 09:07 PM

We sure did

I bought it because its a Z. Thats reason enough for me

Its not the first and it wont be the last. There is absolutly no other car I would consider at that price point, or even a little higher. I sure dont wanna be driving a one in a million mustang, camaro or corvette. I know a guy in a stang aint getting the looks I get

I love everything about this car!

Buy it for yourself, not for others. Looks don't matter. I don't get any in my Z06 and I don't want any. I bought it for me

Oh I def bought it for myself. It could look anyway it wants. If its a Z Im in! Just a bonus that its an eye catcher. I care much more about performance.

lol...
wanted to buy a new...
And i wanted a car that fits me and I am asian =)...
so i told myself i mma buy one of the following: evo X, sti, s2000, or Z...
called my buddy and asked... for a 350z and he told we dont make 350z no more...
i was sad=(... and then he told me we got 370z though...
googled 370z on the spot...
loved it... next day asked a friend how to drive a manual transmission...
day after that went to pick up my z =)...

PS... Picking up my Z was the scariest drive of my fvcking life!!! Was happy that i didnt stall =)...
though went from 3rd to second twice while entering the freeway=)

brucelidat · 09-02-2011, 12:25 PM

I was working too much and making good money but wasn''t doing much else. I always loved the 370z, the 350z was eh to me. I was reading up on it a lot then went to a friend's bbq where 2 of them had it and I loved it more in person. I figured it was now or never. I could afford it and I was young enough to enjoy it still. When I buy a house in the future, I may never have enough disposable income to get something so impractical, haha. I didn't want to become one of those old men who drive their Porsches below the speed limit. Broke my gf down by talking about it all the time and got her blessing, so I got it. Great blend of looks, affordablity, and performance. I do miss the space and comfort of my 07 Altima 3.5 sometimes though. Wish I could have had both. I am sure after I get her on the track and maybe drop in a mod or 2, I will love her even more.
