Well I'm currently on my 3rd transmission and I have decided that I had about enough with all the problems that I had with the car since I bought it, so i'm currently in the process of taking the car back through the lemon law (hopefully it will work out but my lawyer assured me that it will since I had so many issues and the car was at the dealers for weeks at the time) I'm not really sure what i'm going to get yet in place of the Z but I was thinking an S2000, or maybe i'll just wait till the 06 Z since it looks sexy.
Also, I currently have a Stillen Flywheel and a b&m shifter (shifter is still on the car) that i'm trying to get rid of. I only used the flywheel for 8 days, it was installed when i got my 2nd transmission by the dealer and removed when i got my 3rd transmission 8 days later. I have the receipt from Still $400 + tax = $432 total and I also have the dealer records showing that the flywheel was only on there for about 8 days. Anyways, I would like to sell the Flywheel for $350 + shipping obo if anyone's interested please PM me.
as for the shifter, i'm probably gonna just keep that in the car unless i get a good offer on it. I also got that from stillen and i have the receipt for it.
I wanna thank everyone on these forums for their support, and I will continue trolling here even after I get rid of my Z (hopefully i'll go for the 06, but i'm still not sure)

I agree that when it gets to 3+ transmissions the driver has to have something to do with it. As for your next car I wouldn't get an 06 350Z as I haven't seen any indication that the transmission will be any different for you. If you like convertibles, then maybe the S2000 is the car for you.

Well, the second transmission i completely had nothing to do with. I went to pickup my car from the dealer after the install and as soon as i turned the car on it started making some loud pinging noise...as i pressed the gas or turned on the AC the noise only got louder. The only way the noise went away is if i pressed the clutch. So being frustrated that I was parted with my car for a week, i stormed into the service manager's office and started yelling at him. When he looked at the car he basically turned red from embarassement because i basically told him that his techs didn't do their job right and didn't do a quality check after finishing the car. so basically the 2nd tranny was not my fault.
As for my normal driving, i'm pretty easy going on my car. most of my driving is to and from work so i can't really do much in traffic. There are some occasions where i get that urge do drive hard but that doesn't happen often.
