Default Its been a great ride!!!

As of 1/12/08 I am no longer the proud owner of my 2004 350Z. Its been a great 4 years! Enjoyed the pictures,advice, and chit chat on My350Z web page. Don't worry my weekend driver is still my C4S, but my daily driver which was the 350Z is now a fricken 2008 Camry, yes Camry.

I think you made a wise choice in going with the Camry. Nothing like dependability, gas frugality, and soccer mom status.

I went with the Le model because of an add in the Los Angeles Times. Pretty good deal! Getting married in July so I had to give up one of my sports cars. A couple of good things with a Camry, 1. Gas 87 Octane. 2. Insurance cheaper. 3. Ride is smooth. 4.Can fit more than 2 people than my Z 5. No body wants to race me, that was the one thing I won't miss owning a 350Z. Everybody and their grandmother wanted to race. Have a good one and keep posting those great pictures of your cars!

The Camry is the #1 selling car in the USA, its also considered one of the best mid-size car one could buy, the 2008 has a nice body style imo.

For your wild side you still got your porsche so you are not hurting, much.

Good luck with your future life and know that was a wise decision imo.

I work for Porsche and am a die hard 350z fan. My co-workers always give me a lot of grief, but I still think the Z is a fine car. I was curious if you felt the performance of your Porsche far outweighed that of your Z. To be fair for the price, the only Porsche that could compare is a 99 or 2000 996. I have driven both and think that for the money the Z is a superior value. What are your thoughts regarding the comparison?

I personally feel for the money you can't go wrong with the 350Z. You get a lot of bang for your buck. The Performance aspect is up to the individual on how much he/she wants to invest. Just speaking off the lot (no mods) the Porsche does out perform a Z, I would hope so considering I could have bought 2-3 350Z's for the price of my C4S. Both cars kick some major butt in looks and performance.You can't go wrong.

Why can't you have 2 sports cars even if you are getting married? Unless you're planning on kids in the near future
