I've evaluated the having a 2nd vehicle option and find it very appealing; but my wife has some issues with it such as garage space, unnecesary car/insurance payment, etc... Consequently I'm back to the perfect all around sports/somewhat family oriented car search.

Rather then trying to focus on one perfect vehicle, as was suggested, maybe having a more practical second vehicle is a better idea? That's what I did. If you have the money for an M3, I think you have enough to pick 2 cars.

I have car A.D.D. as well.
About 27 cars since I started driving.
Lose money on every one of them, but it sure is fun!

Sounds like a 3 series sedan would be a good fit. If you like it, can afford it, and have had your fun with the z, have at it.

hummmm... not sure if you've ever had kids before but it's not the end of funhood. lol get wat you want and tell your wife you must have your certain necessities met to make it all work out for a lasting relationship.

just pay the beater out of your own pocket.

lol wow, some of you guys honestly keep a car for less than 1 year? I thought buying new every 2-3 years was bad for me, but jeez lol.

What you really need to do is take a test drive in a few of these other cars to see how they really make you feel towards the Z. I was in love with my Z until I sat down in a Mustang 5.0 and suddenly felt at home with the added space and back seats. It was only then that I realized the Z was more of a "toy car" for me and not that practical given my situation.

You obviously cant go wrong with a BMW, although personally I feel you see about as many of those on the roads these days as you do a Mustang, and the appeal of sedan with "hidden power" under the hood has lost its luster.

Go on 1 test drive. Go on 20. Check out an audi, a prius, a camaro, whatever! You wont know until you actually get behind the wheel.

Well one thing this thread makes apparent is that Puerto Rico needs to start paying its fair share of taxes.

However, I might be expanding the family within a year or so and consequently I've been looking into a sports coupe with at least a small backseat. Some of my current options are the BMW 335 with the Dinan S2 package or an M3.

I would appreciate any feedback that you can provide me as I'm somewhat torn on my decision. If I keep the Z some mods will need to be added in order to keep the interest.

Thanks!:driving:

yes, trade it. No matter what you drive, you are the kind of person who will want something else. I'm the same way. I drive a Z06 and am looking to get into a 370Z in a year or two. Why? Something different, and of course way cheaper. Variety is the spice of life. Go play.

If you are losing interest in a car in a year get a used car that has already depreciated, else your just throwing money away.

Such good advice. To buy new then sell in a year is an extravagant use of money and hard work.
