350Z mayhem....
 

Is it me or are there 350z's consistently being involved in accidents, fatalities, and speeding on a weekly basis? I am assuming it is because you can now buy them used fairly cheap and most are now driven by the young immature Or mentally unstable?
Here are a few articles, one being in my state and one next state over. You can expect premiums to go up if this trend continues....

Nice Juke. How do you like it? I'm in the market for one as a dd.

Thanks! :tup: If you don't mind a CVT its not bad at all. They only have the 6MT on the FWD and where I live in Maine I needed the AWD which is CVT only. I think its great for a DD. If you're looking for a nismo though, I suggest going with the RS.

Glad to hear that you like it. I didn't care for them before but more recently I find myself checking them out on the road now. A RS would be awesome if I can find a one for a good deal. Those recaros are damn nice to have. If only Nissan would have made it easier to swap those seats to my Z, I would be gunning for the RS no doubt. I am actually leaning toward an auto and possibly an awd as this will serve as a daily and also my baby hauler so my wife is allowed to drive it whenever she wants. She has her own car, but I think it's a good compromise. I get to keep my Z =). My main concern right now is cargo space. We have a pretty large stroller, even folded down it still requires a good amount of space. I'll be testing one very soon. Kinda excited about this car.

The biggest complaint I have seen was boot space, with the back seats in the upright position there is not a lot of room. For weeks on end I found myself running around without my seats up and that's when I realized, I don't "need" back seats, I should get a Z too. If space is more your thing and don't mind jumping out of the funky, check out the Murano. You can get an entry level for around the price of a nismo juke.

i kinda like the rogue too, but the tail lamps look so blah.. :ugh:

It's gonna get this way for the 370 as it gets cheaper as well.

Near me, G35 coupes are now primarily driven by punk *** kids with tons of plastidip all over them. I say punk *** kids because they drive like ******** and give Infiniti drivers a bad rep. Sad days.

Yes indeed, not just plastidip, I had seen what I thought was a GTR. Nope, as it past the back of the car gave it away, it was a G35 with a front nose kiit. Even sadder, I believe it was a sedan.

I guess a positive spin to this all, the more that get smashed, ruined, or totaled(unfortunately at the cost of human lives), eventually the value of the 350z will start to go back up. May take quite a while but I feel optimistic about it. I have wanted a Z since 2003 when Nissan came back out with them.

A few more 350z stories.

Unfortunately we lost another 350z, 1 fatality and 2 injured. Just came in over my news feed a little while ago. Only thing is, the article mentions 3 teens in a car that holds 2 seats. :wtf:

And another one dies in a blaze of glory.... This one happened in my home state. Was senseless and fortunately the police were able to save the innocent road user in the other car.
