I think you made a mistake in your first reply here, but are now manning up to the criticism in a more mature way. Kudos.

I agree with FL_4Motion there...if you can't afford to take your girl out and the car is 60% of your income, you really have a problem... I wouldn't even do payments that's over 10% of my monthly income.

Good luck. Hope you can turn your financial life straight. We all make mistakes. It's being able to humble down while you're young, that you can drive cars you want to at a later age.

You can either drive a $30k car now, or a $300k car later. Pick one.

Just wondering, but...what exactly do you do for a living?

Damn looks like I missed the fun yesterday...damn dinner with the in-laws. I won't pile on to shame this tool any further, but seriously man, you've got a lot to learn. Please do so away from this board. People like you give us Z owners a bad name

I had a 2008 Scion tC with the normal CAI, CBE, and some tasteful aesthetic mods... served it's purpose for the 1 commute to school each day... but once it hit 90,000 miles and I knew I didn't have to go back, it was definitely time to upgrade...

couldn't be happier.

My 40th Anniversary Z is my first Japanese car in 25 years. I'm pumped. Been driving german, british and italian cars. Most recently a couple of audis. I've come to realize that I truly love a front engine rear wheel drive car, especially with a short wheelbase. This is fun! :-)
