Default i finally did it - I broke

I finally couldn't take it any more so i did it...

I SOLD THE Z

got a mazda protege mazdaspeed. Only car i could get. no other dealer would touch the Z. my neg equity was 7000 i got 26 for it so i paid 26000 for a 19000 dollar car. It sux but so worth it in the long run. I won't have to replace the tires every 10,000 mile now either, freakin cupping!!!!!

All i need now is 3 grand and i'll be right up there with the Z again. gotta love FI!!!!

Don't worry though i am not going anywhere. I plan to buy another one in a couple of years and until then i will be here watching and waiting for the perfect 350Z and bringing you deals you can't pass up!

Not trying to be a ***** or anything and its cool that you got something else that wont have problems. My Z hasn't had a single problem. Your comment about 3 grand and being back with the Z just doesn't make sense, you might have similar horsepower but it will still look like a protege

You loved the Z but got rid of it because of the Tire Feathering issues? Many early 03 owners had this issue corrected.
Couldnt you have just corrected the feathering?

A 350Z for a Protege?

Got to be more to it than the Tires? Right?

customer service, had it corected and it feathered faster the second time, no one would do anything about it and i refuse to pay for something that was broken to begin with. My dealer and NNA were crap, i have a grudge against nissan now that will hopefully disappear when i go to buy anotherone in a couple of years. Such a beautiful car, but the one i got was a peice of junk for 36,000 dollars!

Maybe he didn't like LS1.com because they got sick of his trolling.

Anyway, good riddance.

maybe people are just confused that you went -$7000 to get "lesser" of a car, when ~$1000 in suspension mods would have fixed the feathering issues? *confused myself*
