I understand. My 350Z is for sale right now too... We should start a support group.

Oh wait. I guess that's what 311s is...

It's the "kid factor" kicking in eh Alvin? You need an Infinity w/ the midget back seats instead...

I have the Infiniti with the midget seats - my girls are 5 and 7 and fit just fine in their safety seats back there. It's actually not too bad back there.

love that nissan ad!
The Z doesn't have back seats
I'm not doing track days as often either, so it really just collects dust while I pay for insurance
it will be missed, lots of good times
looking forward to the minivan, i'll take one over an suv anyday :D

Not me. An SUV beats a minivan in my book. Of course, I really like my crew cab long bed diesel truck!

I like mine also! If its a 4x4 you don't need a SUV and a truck is always handy.......

Toyota Highlander Hybrid. With two baby seats, still carries enough for a weekend at the lake. 3rd row seats make legitimate 7 passenger for soccer practice. Get the Hybrid and average out your emissions over the Roadster and the HiHy.

Mine is Blizzard Pearl (metallic white) 2008. Handles better than a minivan, but not like a truck. Offroad is out of the question with the Hybrid, but it does great in winter...

If it's any consolation, I had a brand new Dodge truck, a 21 ft boat and a 23 foot boat just before I got married....Shortly thereafter, I had a used Ford Ranger, a house in need of repair and a teenage step-daughter. 12 years and 6 or 8 roadsters later, Sold the Ford, fixed the house, Daughter has her own house, but still won't leave..

Get a bad-ass Minivan, just tint the windows.
