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...

What, you couldn't fit a car seat in the back?

I hear the sounds of the Minivan of Manly Death.

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.
Sorry for your loss Alvin. But look on the brightside...there' are plenty of good sports sedans out 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

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..
