The threads don't bother me that much.
BUT I like to dissuade those who are considering the Z because it's the current "Hot thing" or how many "girls they can pull"

Superficial bastards!!!

well blurr i have posted a should i buy a z thread. and actually while some do need the advice of others some dont. no offense but when you go to buy a used/new car you normally ask around to others to see if they had multiple problems with the same car? you dont want to just go out and buy it when the car could be a hunk of junk? get what im tryin to say?to me this website is all about talking about our z's and helping each other out. so when someone puts there hand out for help, as annoying as it may be, just offer them the assistance they need

Boy did you say a mouthful.

It’s one thing to do some research before you buy, its another to ask “Is this a good deal?” Duh...If you thought that it was a good deal, then you would have bought it right?

As you mentioned, the 350Z is not like buying a family sedan for transportation, its a love affair: the posts should read “I don't know why I bought this car, but I just couldn't resist.

You are missing the point. There are plenty of threads out there describing whatever problems are out there, so go and read them. Yeah newbies may not know about searching the threads, but come on. And if the Z were actually a lemon, would there be a huge popular forum called my350z? I doubt it

Life's too short to get stressed over annoying posts.

What's the big deal? You don't have to repsond to their post, just ignore them if dislike it so much =).I did it too before I bought my Z, only because the "Search" isn't that easy to find. Besides we were all there once so why give them a hard time about it.

It was never one, but I got so tired of hearing that question, rather than fight it I figured I would fight back!

I understand your pain Blurr but...

1. How can you be so frustated so fast with only 105 post?
2. Maybe you should learn how to deal with these issues cause it happens everywhere, not just here.
3. Even though its not official, I belive that the 03-04 models are lemons, but its one hell of a lemon to drive

Not trying to flame or anyting, just curious and concern, thats all.

What, I'm not a true Z owner because I never wanted to buy a Z the first time I stepped on the lot? The first time I saw the Z I thought it was a Porsche. The first time I stood next to one on the lot, I didn't really want to get one. I've been on this forum for almost 1.5 years now, and when I first considered getting a Z I browsed (but never posted one of) the "Should I buy a Z" threads to get some background on the car. You shouldn't get frustrated over these threads. Just do like everyone else says and don't read them. Most of the time they're just kids who want people to tell them they should buy the damn car.

Just FYI, I do own a Z: SS 05 AT Touring. Great car, gives me that little thrill of excitement when I floor it or drive through a parking garage (exhaust echo is our friend ). I also owned a 2001 Civic EX sedan before I bought the Z. Guess I'm a little backwards
