Default Can't bring myself to buy a Z

I bought a damn 2004 back when I was making crap money. I got divorced and moved away and ended up buying a 2005 Infiniti G35c MT because I left the Z with the ex wife.

I ended up getting re-married and I sold the G to get a Nissan Sentra in 2007 to make buying a house easier.

I now make 4 times the amount of money I did when I bought the 2004 Z, my Sentra is paid off, and I cannot bring myself to buy another car. I have wanted another Z for several years now but for some reason I can't do it. Affording it isn't an issue, it's just the thought of another car note is making me freeze whenever I start searching inventories.

I am driving the wife crazy, she wants me to shut the hell up and get one, she's been begging me for a year to finally do it and I won't.

What the hell is wrong with me? I am telling myself now I need to wait until 2013 for the changes since I really want a NISMO.

I had to vent, thanks guys.

Edit. You can look at my join date when I joined here vs. my post count and see how long I have been lurking.

Honestly, we cannot convince you to buy one. If you want one, you should buy one. Life is short and unexpected! Live it the way you want while you can.

Dude, I am driving her crazy. If I don't buy one soon she is going to end up buying it for me. She wants the NISMO or the Touring with Persimmon.

She walks in the office and sees the site up and just turns around and leaves shaking her head.

Doesn't help she hates the Sentra either.

Do it! You will NOT be disappointed. Good luck with whatever you choose though.

If you can't bring yourself to buy a new car then you shouldn't do it. Some people just don't like spending money, even if they can afford it.

You should probably stop going back and forth with the wifey about it, though.

+1...... Stop being a PU**Y & grow a pair big guy. If you keep it up the wife might get one w/o you knowing, or leave you b/c you drove her insane....jk. This is not like you thought about buying a Z yesterday, but it has been a year plus already. We cannot make your mind up for you. As you stated you are making four times what you were before & you have no car payments. So you really have NOTHING TO LOSE.

Just PRETEND that your wife said you HAD BETTER NOT get one, and then go and get one.
See, that's what the problem is. Your wife WANTS you to get one, and you don't like your wife telling you what to do.

I thought the 2013 Nismo didnt have any (or many) of the changes that the base+ gets?

Just get the Z. YOLO (apparently thats the term all the cool kids are throwing around at the moment).
