If you get a bike you're going to be ruined. As much as I love my 370 NISMO, I'd ditch it in a second if I had to choose between it or my Ducati 848.

See that's the way I feel about the Z. everything I compare it to always comes up short.

No I'm still looking to get some value out of it while waiting for the next generation to come out... Timings right you hit 100k on this car and it's worth almost nothing. Heart wrenching

I love my NISMO so much. The thrill and excitement of driving to and from work (42 miles round trip) and the stares and compliments daily, it would be hard for me to drive anything else knowing I have a NISMO parked in my garage. Run it till the wheels fall off, you paid for it.

Buy a hooptie and then alternate, one day the Z other day the hooptie.
I'm just trying to help you out of your agony.

Well I feel your pain, owning a SRT8 for 8 years and dealing with $210 a week in gas for my 120 mile round trip commute back in 07-08 made me a believer that some of our toys are just not meant to be DD for the longer commutes IMO. Although I've never contemplated getting rid of it, I did make a Smart adjustment and now I just drive what I want, when I want to and still have fun without giving up my passion for cars. Blessed to be able to have 5 of my own, but the SmartCar is what burns up the road the most.

For example $20 in gas:

SRT8 = To the mailbox and back
Nismo= 1 round trip to work
VW CC= 1 and a half round trips to work
Lincoln LS = 1 round trip to work
SmartCar= All week
