I say you buy it. I have seen you waiting and drooling over this car for more than a year now. You should be glad of your accomplishments and there is no harm celebrating with the G.

If it brings a smile to your face and makes you feel like a kid again - it is SO worth it. This I am speaking from personal experience.

Let me know when you actually do go to get it, I might come along.

Agreed. Definitely worth it. I have it and its just cool - haha.

 
i still love the G35c, but it's really getting a bit too common...

personally i'd get the G35c as well, but i'd also look into the WRX Sti, the 350Z track (with brembo's and 300 horses), or even the mitsu Evo8 (it's made in japan).

yeah i know im not going to defend the pretty financially bad decision. i know its a bad decision. i jus twant the car much more than the house, i've got plenty of time to save.

Plenty of time? I bought my house at 26. I can't beleive that 2.5 years later, I'm sitting on 240K equity and living in a house I could never dream of affording.

Houses will gain in value. A car will drop. I know a lot of people who, even with two incomes, will never be able to afford a house in California because home prices are going up faster than wages.

If you're living with your parents in Lousiana, then, I guess you've got nothing to lose. 😉 Still, the G35 wll get the chick in the car, but how's she gonna react when you roll up to mom and dad's house?



i'm in los angeles. 240k will only get you a house in South Central. no joke.

i am not even sure i can get a house in south central.

i probably just barely have a downpayment for that. housing here is very expensive.

ever wonder why they are looking at you???

Every time I see a ghuy(sic) driving a miata, unless they are going to an autox event for which they are probably an enjoyable vehicle, I am not thinking "wow, what a nice ride for that cool dude" I usually presume that his wife is driving his mini-van and he has to go get the milk in her car.

So the point of that is that you like ogling men in convertibles? 😛

not a fan of the color, but that's great you got full-time and celebrated with a new car [without putting yourself in financial trouble while doing it].

its the one on the right.

did you get it with the NAV system?

no. my car doesnt have premium, so nav woulda been the cost of premium and nav. + tax. $5000

didnt think it was worth it

ironically i got lost on the way home from the dealership.
