  1. I bought my 350Z from a forum member and used it for a few months before moving to USA for a career change.

     

    My requirements

    • Only weekend driving
    • Roads here are terrible with huge potholes
    • Need to fit two person and 2 dogs
    • Not spending more than $20-25k

     

    What I've been eyeing on.

    370Z- Too ugly compared to 350Z

    GTR- Will get that when I settle down on the West Coast and that doesn't fit in the budget

    Toyota GT86- I like the look of it but users are saying it is underpowered and not so great handling

    Subaru BRZ- Apparently it is the same car as the gt86. But I like the colour/design more though.

     

    Any other suggestions that I should look into?

  2. The car was in pretty bad condition. It's hard to see from the photo. Windows were filthy, I wanted to take a peak inside but was difficult. The body was full of dent and scratches but this is normal in NYC unless you're really well off and park in private car park. I still envy the guy/girl who owns it! Insurance is insane here. For someone 35+ with 0 years of driving history in US, it's $450 per month and I live in a good neighborhood. Parking is another $400.

  3. I've done this and it screwed me up mentally. I was lucky that they kept my job when I came back but my perspective on life has totally changed. I hate the 9 to 5 job and all I want to do now is travel and see the world. I severely lack the motivation to progress in my career after the travelling as I was so much healthier and happier living on shoestring budget.

  4. I'm looking into learn 2 drift day. They got two venues close to me, Rockingham and Essex.

     

    I was thinking of doing Half day / 3hr Intensive 1-2-1 Session£285.00

    If it is using their car, then I don't need to worry about getting insurance on my own car.

  5. Might be a daft question but when I drive my parents Merc/Lexus, they always complain that the the automatic transmission feels different. It adapts to how I drive and wonder if 350Z does the same and if there is a reset procedure for it? Or is it only an automatic transmission thing. I do notice that the throttle is more responsive after a spirited drive or maybe it's all in the mind.
