Thinking of going back to 350Z
Had a 2004 Enthusiast. Sold it and got a 07 G35 sedan. I'm seriously thinking of trading in the G35 for a 2008 Enthusiast. I miss that car badly. Sedan has nice amenities, but I like small sporty cars. Anyone done this? I know I'll probably get rapped.

I don't think anyone here can help you decide. Even if we do help you decide, in the end it's you that will truly know what to do.
Just write down and think about all of the pro and con of the swap. In the end if you feel that going back to a 350z is worth all of that money/effort, then do it.
I don't see a reason why you would want to drive the G35 is you're not truly enjoying it. Buy a car that you enjoy and go from there =)
Good luck.

Get the Z!!!!!
I had a Z back in the 90s (non-turbo) and then switched to SUVs and a series of nice sedans....let me tell you, this is best car I've ever owned. I've owned Porsches and Range Rovers....Nissan hit it right with the Z!!! The other cars had issues constantly. The Z may not be the most powerful car...but it can be if you want it to. In my opinion, own a Z and maybe an SUV or a pickup and you're set.

We ditched our loaded 07 G35 Sport for two cars that equal the G payment. An 06 Z with low miles and a killer lease deal on a Honda Civic LX auto for $120 per mo... 24mos and 12k a year. The gas guzzling Xterra sits in the garage unless we go camping or wheeling.

Driving (to me at least) is more than just getting from point A to point B, its about the experience, and nothing delivers an experience like a Z. People just don't get it because they see the price tag, and laugh at me when I compare it to M3's and such. 350Z such a pure car that only a true enthusiast who loves the art of driving can enjoy and appreciate.

THis is exactly what i had in mind. Same daily driver too. If not a brand new Z...one with low mileage and a civic to beat up during the week.
