my friend is getting his manual transmission checked out because he has some not-so-minor problems with it... he told me that Nissan is putting out a TSB for it.

I drove his car... it's very nice if you like the extreme sports car feel... that car can corner like it's on rails... of course your teeth will chatter themselves to nubs because the ride is so rough... plus the interior is LOUD because there's NO sound deadening material to save weight... he put on two layers of dynamat and it's STILL loud as hell... plus the only two seats hurt whatever practicality is left in that car.

if i had money to burn and I wanted to get the 350z, i'd get it. however, you don't have money to burn, you just have money. personally, although college isn't for everyone, it is for most people. nevermind the education part, i think it contributes to maturity as well...(although we can leave that one for the jury). the sales manager at my former company didn't go to college but he's the best sales guy we've ever had... on the other hand, he doesn't get all that much respect because although he takes care of our clients, many of them think of him as another used car salesman. does he get the job done? yes. is that what counts? mostly yes. but still, i think he could've been much more polished if he rounded out his education a bit more.

my 2 cents

 

No... just watch **** in your tC going to school.

 

LOL i know and most people here have been to my website...XA was just behind my rx-8....LOL geico rules...

 

VexTC, if you haven't tried college you owe it to yourself to at least enroll for a term or two. Even a local community college can be fun. I hated high school and once I graduated I relished my freedom. My interests were motorcycles, cars, and the beach. I never thought I would have enjoyed college but my first year was so much fun I completely gave up interest in cars, sold them, used the money for college and rode a bike for the next five years. My point is that it's not just about money. Who cares whether you earn more? The real enrichment is the people you will meet and the things you will learn.

 

you bought an rx-8?? how much did that heap set you back

 

Or better yet, don't go to college, buy the 350Z, and go to work giving out BJs on cybergypsy's **** site. The world needs cumdumpsters too.

 

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!!

 

Trading an education for a car? That car is like a hooker. It's only fun when you're riding it. Then when she's old and broken down you don't wanna touch her any more. Get an education, make money and then buy all the hookers you want! Understand?

 

I know its a lil late but 350z = SOOO OVERRATED AND DEF NOT WORTH THE COST.

it puts out 220 at the wheels stock! 65hp lost in the drivetrain. I've seen the car in a few wreck's and oh man it gets wrecked easy.

Besides i think their kinda ugly.

Also their tuning capabilites lie only with forced induction and then your paying like 8G for a twin turbo kit to give you an extra 100whp.. which is kidna low if you ask me.

 

G35 looks better... And a 350Z as a dream car :?: Put that $15K to good use. A C/D account or even placing the money in a savings account with a minimum of 2.5% interest is best. Over time you will accumilate interest (also pay taxes on it , but not by much).

Here's my "Eleanor":

Lotus Esprit V8, but in British Racing Green not red. And I know it is discontinued

 

You are getting a TC and calling the RX-8 a heap...the TC is a heap new....LOL>>>LOL

 

that is a fantastic response outstanding!!!! :D

 

ok 1st off....i was considerin college but im in sales right now for 6 yrs and i make $50,000+ a yr...so im happy with that..like u people say...college aint for everyone...

 

maybe you need a break for a while.....

 

a sears home tech can make more than 70k and doesn't reqire college degree.....

get a car and have fun with it, and all the BAs/BSs have more job security. everyone wins.

 

An education is one of the best investments you can make... a car on the other hand is one of the worst. Think economically if nothing else, and go to school.

 

Before very long, you're going to realize that that's not a whole lot of money. The education isn't a guarantee of anything, it's just a tool. But you'll want to have as many tools as you can get.

OK, I'll stop trying to be your dad now.

 

Wow--this car, which I have yet to receive, is the first car I have ever bought, and I am way older than, well, the target demographic. I was driving a car I drove in high school, which was--um--when Poison was hot. I, however, live in a city where you don't really need a car, so it's not all that strange. But I must say, after waiting all these years for my first new car--it feels damned good. It feels even better not to be getting a nice practical family sedan, and something that totally appeals to the side of me that isn't 100% practical. But college, well--that's an experience I never would have wanted to miss (law school I could have done without, but whatever). College isn't for everyone. $15,000 isn't a ton of money. But if you already have a perfectly good, and rather cool car, there are a ton of things you can do with $15,000 that can either turn it into more money, or at least leave you with something of lasting value.

I have my masters.....and now make sooo much more owning a **** site......get a degree and work at taco bell....I have seen this soooooo much....[/quote]


i totally understand. college isnt for everyone. i have a degree and im still working hard for nothing. i have a friend with a h.s. diploma and he's making over 120,000 a year.
do what feels right, if u make a mistake learn from it a move on.

 

yes i am... a car priced between 27 and 28 thousand dollars for the base model that is the flagship vehicle for mazda should not be running 15's in the quarter...

i know performance isn't measured by straight line acceleration... but its deff a step back from the rx7...iv driven the 8 once and that was enough for me, that gearbox is ...interesting... to each their own i suppose, id have gone with a Z or an EVO but thats just me
