Default Traded the z yesterday

well i got rid of the z yesterday... after 3 of them in various colors i decided it was time to get a back seat. so i traded it for a black 3.5 altima...mixed emotions about it. miss the fun and the looks i got in the z but i think im going to like the praticality of the altima. just bought the nismo exhaust and cold air intake for it today. staying with nissan parts to maintain the 100k warranty i purchased

When there is more than half inch of snow on the roads, I wish that I had an Altima.

I had a 2005 Altima SE-R before my Z and I loved it great car they are quick straight line and handle well for a FWD sedan. Good vehicle for a daily drive I got rid of mine because it wasn't a daily driver. I had a Altima 2.5s as a demo which is the daily driver.

I can understand the switch. Sorry to see you get out of the Z, but you will still enjoy VQ power...

My aunt has a newer 3.5 version and it's still sharp, quick, good car.
They came out as 93 models.

Its a good thing for my 96 Infiniti g20 which I call "the **** box". It has 99k miles and runs like new. Very clean for a 10yr car. I depend on it and it hasnt put me down.

I actually owned an '06 SE-R for about 24 hours. I brought it back the day after buying it and got the Z. I really don't like leather and I hate FWD. I bought it because I was getting rid of 3 vehicles ('04 wrangler, '98 T/A and '06 Triumph Speed Triple) and replacing them with one. I figured I'd need a four door since it's my only car. After getting it home, I hated myself for buying a FWD car. Since I'm friends with the finance manager I was able to bring it back the next day and get the Z. Sometimes I wish I had kept the Altima, then I slide the Z around a corner and I feel better.
