New Car.
 

Well as most of you guys know, I was forced to sell my rx-8 to pay off some college funds. Well my dad decided that was a very reasonable choice to make because I no longer am looking to them for money. So he decided to give me his toy that he had sitting around at home! So here is my new car.

lucky...but this doesnt look like an rx8 :dunno:

your dad is Awesome

It's definitely not an rx8. I miss my car :crying:

I understand the z has a lot more torque and power, but thats not everything. I can't even take my favorite twisty turn at 75 mph anymore

Congrats, enjoy it! or at least try haha

lol i know what you mean i had a z and would never go back but on the plus a free car that isnt a beater thats pretty dam cool

OR you could sell it, pick up another 8, have left over money, and start modding the 8 :)

thats not a bad deal. lol. but that datsun!!! with renault engine ..... makes me a sad panda :(

Bro i LOVE the Z. With proper modding and tuning it can be on par with many cars including the 8. But you will never get as many stairs lol. But hey its seems you guys have some money. Those are some nice cars in your garge.

stares

Sell 350z, buy RX8. Simple as that.

Nice! Enjoy the newfound torque! lol

not bad at all. its no 8, but definitly a great concilation prize. There is so much hate towards Zs from us 8 drivers but they really are a top notch car for the price range. Just wait until you can afford to get another 8, then burn the tires off it and give the keys back to your dad. haha.

Not a bad deal at all.

that's awesome man!!

Correct me if im wrong but is it not Rude to sell a car your parents give you? I mean just seems somewhat rude to me. "Hey Dad thanks for the car im gonna go sell it and buy another 8"

why drive around something you wouldnt enjoy as much? seems fine with me, and i know my parents wouldnt mind, my dad gave me a 240sx, he said he didnt mind if i sold it to get another car

At least it's an HR...you feel teh torque mang???

wow, thats a sweet gift. looks nice and clean, but not an rx8. jk man. niiice!

Nice not bad of a trade.

i bet he does, no need for a turbo in 3 gear....

hahahah!

:fruit:

Dude, you wanted the Z. Admit it....cmonnnn admit it:) ...

Story doesnt mesh. Well-off (obvious from pics) Dad knows kid has and loves his 8 so so much...kid "reluctantly" sells the beloved 8 to pay off college funds (how novel)...As a reward for such a selfless act, Dad gives son a car worth MORE than the crappy resale price of the 8 (though u would rather have the 8)?? Dad is smarter than that. If Dad knew how much u loved the 8 and the sacrifice u were about to make, he would have stopped u, sold the Z, got more than what u would have with the shitty resale value of the 8, and gone ahead and taken care of those "school funds" for you w/ the $. All the while letting you hold on to the beloved 8 you were so attached to and likely having a lil $ left over.

Dont be afraid to tell the 8 fanbois u wanted the Z! LOL. Its a cool car, enjoy!!

we say no to datsuns !! lol

sweeet z man.. hopefully it wont give you little gremlins like my white 8 has oil after oil leaks....=[ but i do love my 8 i stil wouldnt get rid of it

Totally agree with you. I wouldn't sell it, my old man bought it brand new, we'd lose a lot of money out of it, and I wouldn't mind driving it either.

Of course I do! It's a powerful car!

haha, I'm no kid. I'm 25 working a full time job and full time student from August to May, I don't look to my parents for money anymore. sorry.

I hope I don't get any oil leaks! and I still wish I had my 8. But I'll buy another one soon in the future.

Dude nice house!

haha, thanks, it's my parents. I grew up in that house tho, soo many great times. I came down for a week to visit, and I left with a Z. Worked out nicely!

That idea makes a lot of sense! But anyways nice cars you have. Z, BMW, Benz... Livin the life

Antenna :eyetwitch

Cruise with the Z for a lil while, get the bills down, then buy another 8 and use the Z as your DD. Only thing you have to pay for is the insurance on the Z so its a win win

if your 25 why did your dad give you a gift for doing something mature??? lol

Sh*t dude, I don't care how old I am, if my padres are going to give me a free car I'm gonna swoop dat biotch right up!!

I just want to say congrats on getting the new car, its nice of him to give you his Z.

Now that you have his Z, sell it and buy a new 8... rotary... cmon! :D
just kidding, if its leased, you don't got much choice...

You have a nice house lol and that Z is really nice and next to no miles at all

eww flame flame gay
lol jk jk...kinda :/

I'm not a fanboi but I never liked the looks of the 350Z... I rather take a WRX over a 350Z any day. :)

nice, cant beat a free car. if me, i would trade it in for a STI :) (i just dont like the looks of 350).

just drive it till you can get another 8, then give it back to your dad.

Free car is free car.

Heck myt first car was a free car, 1990 plymouth acclaim and I was super happy to get it.

nice car and your right you dont sell something that is a gift and get something else i just find that rude

Yeah well unless they allow you and dont care... then I'd be game...

haha thanks guys, I don't think I'd sell it. It's a pretty enjoyable car. If things keep up with my job, I should be able to fund another rx8 by winter time :D Most likely an 04 or an 05, but it would nice just to have on again

That antenna on the Z is so out of place but sweet ride..............

Z's are sexy.. plus it's a stick shift (and free).

Are you now a member of my350z.com? =)

congrats on the car man....tell your dad a big thanks
