What did you drive before your 370z?

posades · 08-31-2016, 01:48 PM

My first car ever was a 1990 Mazda 323 hatchback (looked like a shoe); drove it till my junior year in high school when the timing belt gave out. Then I got a brand new 2009 Sentra (silver with a spoiler because why not), drove it till I graduated college (paid it off!) and went off to Master's in Michigan. For some strange reason I traded in the Sentra for a used 2010 BMW 323i Coupe before I left...bad choice for two reasons: it had been in an accident the dealer conveniently didn't tell me about and rear wheel drive sucks in the snow. As soon as I got back home to Alabama I traded it in for a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T, and just about a year ago I traded that in for my 2016 370z and been driving it ever since.

This should be a proof for existence of a time traveler.

Anyway, how do you feel your Z compared to the previous Boxter S ? (is that 2001 Porsche ?)

I'm 55. According to the new math, that would make it .8 cars per year. I had A.D.H.D. before it was discovered.

For affordable fun cars, that would be my second choice.

Lexus Is350 in pw. Sold it my friends wife and just found out it was recently totaled. Some idiot made an unprotected left turn in front of her. Luckily the only thing damaged was the car.

sucks but atleast ur friends wife was not injured, and u can still buy them new readily available.

when i had my 12yr old G in immaculate nearly new condition, the biggest fear was i couldnt buy a replacement new any longer.. even nissan discontinued a l lot of parts for it.. felt abandoned..

i wanted to decide when to let her go, not forced by some faking accident.

the cars i have now, they are replaceable so no stress.

She and the two kids made it out safe. Still hate to see a good car get destroyed. It only had 70k on it.

Finally found a picture:

Technically I had this car before my current 370z

Spot the difference
Previous car

Current one

My first one was just bolt ons and my current one has the Stillen kit , built trans and quaife , I traded with a buddy who wanted a stock car again (To trade in) and I wanted to go FI

I did have a 350z HR for a few weeks but hated it so traded it for the 370

Prior to that I had mainly turbo'ed stuff like a couple of Skylines
