Default Boy do I miss driving a Z

Well back in April I sold my 350z, and let me tell you I STILL miss it. I miss the way it drives, looks, noises, and nice cheap interior.

I sold the car for something more practical for the wife and I. Now we are getting seperated, and I want another Z now.

I ended up picking up a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 (quick lil bastard) Don't get me wrong its a GREAT car. I added a few goodies (cobb AP, FMIC, Turboback, and etc) But I still like my 03 Z with just a pop charger more.

So trying to get back into the game with a Z. Hopefully soon!

you can take the driver out of the Z, but you can't take the Z out of the driver

Even when I travel for long periods of time, I miss my Z.

It's that visceral, borderline simple piece-of-shiet, sometimes treat you well feeling. The way it sounds, clicks, revs and moves. It's like a good baseball glove. There are better ones out there, but this....this Z feels good.

I was in your place and sold my '07 Z a couple of years ago! From the day I sold it, I regretted it...it took me two years, but I am back in a Nismo and I am enjoying every second. You'll get another one, just be patient...

And this is why I never make a decision on selling or buying a car based on my "Significant Other". They don't make the payments they don't make the choice.

My Ex-Wife called the Police and reported my Z stolen... Car loan under my name insurance under hers. I sold the car the next day and picked up a 2010 370Z. Needles to say she wasnt to happy when she saw my bright red new Z, when I went to pick up my son. Ahhhh
