The cost of oil changes are no conern to me because I save the labor rip off by doing it my self. Yeah, Nissans are much more reliable. Ha, that's why I don't have my G35 any more. At 10k miles, it ate a quart of oil for every 500 miles. They were in the process of getting me a new engine. Nissan called me and told me a recall was in the works for all 05 and 06 G35 6MTs with the same engine. Oh, the breaks were shot at 8k miles. Keep telling yourself you made the right decision, that's why you hang around on this forum trolling. Don't worry, I like having a car that isn't seen 10 times a day. Oh, by law, parts must be kept available for at least 10 years after the model is discontinued, so, no worries there. I might have to wait longer for parts deliveries, but that's why my car isn't a daily driver. I'm glad my car is fast without having to mod it.

 

there's the same amount of Zs and crossfires here. and every crossfire driver i have seen are 50 year old women. i don't really care. you can dog the Z all you want. i know it's a much better car than the crossfire i had was.

 

look this kid is 20 years old, you think he knows what he's talking about? c'mon. this discussion is over.

 

you apparently didn't like the crossfire, or you'd still have one. and wtf are you, a 60 year old who has no purpose in owning a sports car? i'm sure the crossfire was an excellent midlife crisis car for you. i'm out. last post, i swear. someone delete my account.


everyone have fun with your wannabe slr mclarens (because thats what you think they are)

 

it depends on the driver. I have 3 friends who drive 350z's, all of whom i can smoke in my stock ltd coupe. They suck *** at driving tho, because they have WAY less experience. My friend in his RX8 forces me to eat his dust tho. Of course, he's gotten several tickets and i have 0 haha

 

SLR McLarens... Yeah this kid has no clue......

 

Ouch, that really hurt.
Well, at least I've got 3 more years before the "Sports Car Police" come and haul my "Midlife" cars away. (Even though I've had a sports car ever since I was 16). On the other hand, it makes me feel pretty good to know that some 20 year old thinks 60=Midlife.
It's too bad grphtmtic11 couldn't have joined some of us "Midlife guys" at the Dragon. Maybe he could have shown us the right way to to tame it.

 

Hmmm. My thoughts:
The Z is a great car. As is the RX8, Mustang GT, etc. - all in their own ways.
Luckily, we can choose which car we want and which one best suits us.
There is always going to be something faster, has better handling, is better looking, and so on.
To each their own.

 

If I had looked at his age in the first place I wouldn't have persisted. It all makes sense now. In retrospect, the 350Z is a perfect car for a 20yr old. After a while you appreciate things like having a sports car with a solid feel, quiet operation, and a bit of unique-ness.

He occasionally trolls around this site looking to bash the xfire. Maybe he's gone for good now.

Ok, going to go sit in my Xfire and pretend it's an SLR. Wait, why would I do that? Those over priced things look like the Ace and Gary car!!

 

yeah now adays 30 is midlife crisis time so look out kid you got another 10 years before your *** is over the hill. so enjoy it!

but I do wish I has an sl500 and NOT a ZO6. hehe

 

your crazy.... those things are amazing

 

I bought a 350track model in 03 ,test drove a Crossfire a month later and dumped the Z with 4000 miles on it !

 

Even if I had the money to spend on one of those tacky-mobiles, I wouldn't! I'd much rather have a Ford GT, Lambo Murcielago, any Ferrarri, any Aston, Bugati Veyron, heck, I'd even take a Viper over one of those ugly ****, over styled rolling fallices!!

 

I agree about the SLR Ugly ****. Slow...
