Ok, you win the award for the most ignorant thing posted in this thread, and there have been some ridiculous ones! It's just a F@*king car. You are a ****! I can't believe you would even say that
Also, If you had read the rest of my posts I have clearly stated that the dog was not the only reason why I sold it and got an FJ. Yes, I'm sad to see the car go, but I regret nothing about the transition.

I know for a fact that owning a dog will be far more rewarding to me, regardless of the other reasons why I decided to change, than a car. And, I'm sure any dog owner on here would agree with me if a choice had to be made between the two.

Or maybe mine are just different because I have access to cars that you can only have wet dreams about, and I don't need a 350z as a daily driver.

However, thanks for the compliments. It wasn't just because of the dog. The car was just so impractical as a daily driver. I live in Downtown Vancouver, there's not a whole lotta space to park two cars. Also, have you ever tried to get hockey gear into a Z? I have, it sucked. The car wasn't very good in the snow. I had to rent a SUV to go camping. Like, I said impractical.
As much as I am going to miss the car, I just felt it was time to move on. I work for Ferrari, so I'll still have plenty of opportunities to Ferris Bueller sport cars.

I hear ya on not being able to park downtown. I don't even drive downtown if I have to park. Also understand selling the car for a dog. We got rid of my moms civic SiR hatch, because the only car we could fit our 115lb Golden Retriever in was a Subaru Legacy Wagon. At least he's happy.
Edit* Did you buy those rims locally? Those are volks, correct? They look great on a Lemans Z...come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen that car around town.

Do you own these cars? You act like you have the keys in your pocket and the title in your name.

I appreciate your input and I am sure there are plenty of these schools. But you fail at reading the thread before posting.

Oh, so you're the guy that works at the ferrari dealer on on venables? I remember going there a couple times and seeing a lemans track there. I guess I have seen your car then, just not after the rims. Oh well, not like you won't be around nice cars anymore.
