Default It pains me to say this...

I just sold and delivered my car, I'm so feeling an array of sadness right now!

I had to get rid of it because I'm getting a dog and needed an SUV. I have already replaced the Z with a 2007 FJ Cruiser Sun Fusion Yellow 6 speed manual. Well, back to the drawing board with regards to modifying.

damn, what a stunning car you once had.

well good luck with the oversized hot-wheels car.
hopefully one of these days you'll get another Z as a weekend car or something.

good luck.

got a dog, NEEDED an SUV? WTF kind of dog did you get? i know i wouldn't want a dog all up in my Z, but how often does a dog NEED to be in it? and why not just buy a beater if you are taking to dog to the park or whatever?

i am lost. sorry, but i am about to have a kid and i wouldn't sell the Z for that, i just got another car with more room.

i lol'd because you sound like my wife. she thinks one kid is just cause for a HUGE SUV. she has an Explorer now, which is big enough for 3+ kids.

anyways, good luck with the new ride.

All the best man, but that's pretty funny. Nice looking Z you had.

What kind of tourque does the dog produce and how does it handle in the turns?

LOL @ this thread!

I have heard of people selling Zs since the wife is pregnant; I have NEVER heard of someone selling it for a dog

What's the big deal? You got one dog? I managed to fit BOTH my dogs in my Z comfortably. See https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/328410-pugs-in-a-z.html

Weak...

This was the car I was wanting to look at to buy, but (no offense) the color wasn't my first choice.

Wow, some you guys are pretty harsh... kicking a man when he's down.

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.
