Default Goodbye Z, it was fun

Sold my Z yesterday after almost 2 years of proud ownership. IT was sad watching it drive away.
I had such a good time in it and met a lot of nice people.
Adios!


New:
2009 fit sport navigation with 11k miles, Previous owner literally put the entire catalog of accessories in it and i got it for a great price. It's my first automatic (with flappy padddles) in the 10+ years ive been driving.


It was nice meeting some of you and I hope to run into you guys again soon. (I kept my my350z.com plate frame)

Looks nice man.

May I ask why you sold it? I'm in the same boat basically trying to start a family and a Z is not practical.

I'm going to be going to school full time and this also requires me to go to a hospital for more training each week which could be up to 50 miles each way. The Z is great, but not a commuter.

Why didn't you just buy a reliable beater? That's what I did when I was in college. Best 300 bucks I ever spent lol. That toyota is still running strong without any problems now.

Ehh I commute about 30-50 miles a day (float between 3 different ER's) when I work in the Hospital. It's not that bad, and I always park in parking garage! Sometimes in physician parking

While I agree with this statement and probably wouldn't sell my Z for this, but this guy is driving in SoCal traffic all day. That ish would/does get old and you tend to burn more gas going nowhere. One thing I don't miss about SoCal is that damn traffic! Anyways op, gl on your new ventures and nice Fit!

I have an older Toyota and get 31 mpg and it's fun to drive for a daily car. Nothing wrong with the Honda fit but they are more pricey then a beater of course.

I've gotten up to 32 mpg on my z when it was a long road trip that was mainly highway.

Classy Exit and good luck with school!

Not sure what you paid for the vehicles but something which should of been considered is the depreciation cost of the 350z vs. Fit. At the end of the day the cost of ownership could potentially be more for the Fit.
