i worried 2 seats and no trunk would be a problem. It has saved me from giveing "rides". Its no fun to be a taxicab.

I am planning on buying the 350z by summer and the reason being becaue my sister needs a ride so I'm going to give her my maxima. Also, I am tired of giving people rides due to my current ride being a sedan. I just want to know how much stuff can the 350z carry in the trunk? I still want to load stuff around but don't want to bring extra people around with me.

The whole point of a 2seater is so I can go out and NOT take children with me

I have also learned that the trunk in the ZR has just enough space for weekend travel accessories for two people (not including golf clubs)

Oh, let me add..... If you have a 350Z and need four seats sometime (IE: a family trip) You can always call Enterprise and get one for a day or two. That would be cheaper over the long run than a G35C and you would have the best of both worlds. Van or Crown Vic for the trip (I mean really, four people in a G35C with luggage?) and a 350Z for your commute (better gas mileage, easier to park, and a lot more fun).

What? You mean to tell me you haven't bought a luggage rack for the rear deck yet? You can put two golf bags on there easily. You just have to make sure you take it off when you get back. I don't mean a permanent one. I mean a clamp on one......

I don't golf... hubby does
So if the two of us are escaping for a weekend, golf clubs ARE NOT part of the package

I take it, your not a golfer. If it is a golf weekend for my wife and myself we generally take another car or the Motorhome because that girl can pack.

However, we have taken the Z and can get both clubs and a couple of overnight bags in there as well without too much trouble.

Now then, if it was weekend of golf in Palm Springs and I had a ZR I think a trunk rack would work out quite nicely. There are some really secluded places on a golf course ya know. Expecially at night with a bottle of wine, blanket if you know what I mean.

I'm old enough to the point where I don't give rides to anyone anymore because most of my friends are spread out all over the place. Maybe once friend once in awhile, which is all I have.

I bought the Z because it has two seats. No complaints thus far.

2 seaters are cool and 2 seaters are the kind of guys like me who are tired of sedans. I have owned 2 coupes in my entire life and the rest have been sedans. I love the Z cause it's a really nice sports car and it's affordable and can run with some of the top sports cars out there.

I love having 2 girls sitting on eachother in the Z. It's a hell of a ticket if you are pulled but it's sexy though

Show me so I could put a baseball bat across their forehead! heh j/k

Some of the most desirable cars in the world come in only two seats. It's just a little more sexy but a tad excessive like a motorbike.

It's a good trait because they always come with the right drivetrain: RWD (maybe AWD). I don't know too many, if any, FWD two-seaters.

Great minds, think alike!


Also on the two seater subject, well, I agree with most of you, I don't want to be giving any one rides. I don't know about you guys, but when my guy friends are together they become rowdy little children and my road rage is legendary, so even though I have a sedan 'now' no one asks for rides anymore. So basically what I just said had no real weight since I won't have my Z for a little longer, well, I'm going to go stand in a corner and fart and then air it out and pretend it wasn't me.

Later dudes.
