Default Sold my 2005 WRX, bought a 2008 350Z!!!

Well, my 2005 WRX needed brakes, fluids (all), a new 18" rim and tire & alignment. So instead of doing all that for a lot of $$$, I wound up @ the Nissan dealership. They gave me $16,000 for the WRX 43,000 miles..

Test drove it for about 5 minutes then decided, yes, this is my next car. So I bought a 2008 Base w/ the 6 speed. Only option is the Nogaro Red, and man it was worth the $500.

So I had a WRX turbo(NOT An STi). I thought it was maybe comparable to the Z. Not even close. Wow. No More Turbo LAG!!!!

I didn't think I'd be so in love w/ the car but when I saw it and heard that motor - It was definitely more than just casual sex...I caught feelings

I have a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja that I put more than 1,000 miles a month on.
And I havent rode it in 3 days now.

My girly told me we didnt have time for sex AND a ride the other day at lunch. We took a ride....Yes, I am addicted to the Z.

I agree with you there. Dude the car is nice but the steering wheel cover has gotta go. And if thats a dealer plate in the front burn it.

congrat!!

reading your story is kinda funny, 'cause I'm enjoying my Ninja and have not touch my Z for 2 weeks (and counting). But for you it's the other way around, you even choose the Z over sex!!! So, mad props to you!!
