Default Looking for an 08, why are they so hard to find?

I live in Atlanta, and I am having a hard time finding an 08. Looking to spend under 20k, and would prefer a black one. Is there a Secret I don't know about finding a decent Z that hast been raped by a teenager? Or are they just really hard to find?

not all of us are raping ours



08 ftw tho, HR is worth it over the DE, CD009, head and taillights and the cosmetic upgrades etc. are definitely a huge improvement!

buying any car that has signs of being previously modified = automatically assumed to have been molested regardless of quality of mods.

Personally if my car was used, I'd rather the previous owner driven it spiritedly or at least pushed it somewhat. The car is somewhat like the human body. If you don't train it early on, don't expect it to last long if you start pushing it hard in the future; much like I don't expect myself to be able to run a marathon if I never went running in my life. There is a difference between modified (intake exhaust) and hardcore modified (force induction) as far as modified goes. It's not always bad to buy one that is slightly modded. It's bad if the car's been previously wrecked or if it's FI'd and u dunno how to maintain it.

I agree. I buy a Z to be driven 24/7 as long as it is not snowing. You can baby them but don't just store them away for good. Might as well put them in a glass storage and never touch it. Some peoples love their cars more than their life, family and kids. Well, that's them. I love my life, family and kids more than a freakin machine.

Baby it, drive it, doggy it, do whatever with it. Only live once. When you die you CAN NOT take the car with you. We live once to drive and enjoy and have fun. Not live to baby a car forever and died while the car still exist for others to molest.

LOL, wth is wrong with me...okay going to go cruise now. It's 2 am in the morning.

Sloppy seconds ain't bad here. It's not a Ferrari. It's the cheapest sports car in its class, which is why you are finding that many have been 'raped by a teenager'. Go ahead, rape it a little.
