Do You Regret Selling Your Z?
For those of you who have sold your Z for financial reasons, a more practical car, or just wanted to give something else a try...
Do you miss the Z or in any way regret your decission?
Have you found another car that you consider more fun to drive, or just feel more at home or confident in? (confident = driving ability wise)... if so why?

I'm really missing it more and more every day. Especially since every company seems to be pussifying their sports cars (More luxury/weight, less performance for more mpgs)
which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you like the luxury over performance which most of America does.
For example the Audi TTRS. I thought this thing was going to be a light awd rocket ship.... but I just saw a test for Fifth Gear and it sure didn't look to impressive, or at least as impressive as it did in motor trend.
However Nissan has kept their cars fun in a sense, or at least gives you the option (ex the Nismo series)
Even the $30,000 regular Z can compete pretty much even with cars twice that price.
Plus am I the only one who actually thinks Nissan's interiors are pretty nice. (Pretty much taken from Infiniti for the 370)
Anyways I hope they keep the Z/Nismo lines going well into the future until I can afford another one... and a set of snow tires

I've pondered it even though I love my car to death.
Often what makes me stop thinking about selling it is when I am at a distance walking to it whether at a parking lot or in my parking structure. When I look at the lines, the color, the rims, how it sits, how it performs, all remote thoughts of letting it go vanish.

I've really been contemplating an STI/Evo but I really think I might just save up and buy the next gen Nismo when it comes out, or if they fix the problems with the 370 Nismo.
The STI and Evo just don't do anything for me and other than the uber expensive (to me) MR the Z's interior is 10x better IMO
I don't need the space and for the amount of days it snows I might be able to swing the Z with snow tires.
Plus the price of used Z's drops like crazy up here in New England
