Haha dont be hatin'!
I think you should just slap winter tires on it and drive it year round.

 

car sitting for 4 months = waste of $

end of story.

 

I'm debating it lol, but it's a vicious cycle cuz I have a destination wedding I'm attending in Feb so I don't really have a lot of extra cash at the moment to get them on there and my other wheels that Peng has most likely won't fit with the offets/sizes on the sport brakes

 

I'm more than aware.....let's not forget you did the same thing last year. Also the market is pretty ****ty for sports cars given that it is barely 40 degrees at night and I'm not about to deal with negative equity on trading it in. But thanks captain obvious

 

ehh..i disagree with this comment. Depends where you are financially. Its just a price you pay in the midwest for the passion/hobby you have.


After attending the show in Chicago yesterday, I will 100% be back in a Nissan platform in 2-3 years. Either a 370...or the new G.

 

Not once it is paid off

 

How was the trip to Chicago? Did you meet there as well to sell the wheels??

 

in 2-3 years, you will have 4 kids lance. and the only nissan you will be buying is this:

 

I've actually been checking out the Volt lately. Not REALLY interested, but it caught my eye. Only problem with me, is that 1) it wouldn't even get me to work on electric alone, and 2) I put roughly 100 miles on my car a day.

If I worked locally, or was retired - I'd totally have one of these in my garage. The rebates on these just can't be beat, and they are way cooler than a prius. lol

 

i don't care, i LOVE having the option to drive either g when i want. i don't HAVE to store the sedan, its by choice..at the end of the day its all about personal preference and that's it.

 

But it's still a Nissan and once he bags it.... Swagger wagon status

But as far as storing being a waste of $$$... one can argue that you're not wasting any money since you'd be paying that money regardless whether it's being driven or not. You could come back and argue that you're not fully utilizing the vehicle and therefore losing some of the enjoyement factor... As long as you the owner still experience satisfaction then the money spent is worth it. that also can also be interpretated as preserving your asset by limiting the wear and tear, which in turns lowers your maintenance cost and saves you money.

Is it wasting cash? I'd say no. Is it unpractical? Yes, very much so.

 

my views may change after this winter. i come from a land of 100% driveability all year... so i may just be spoiled. but then again, i would never own a car that i would have to store that long in a place where i would have to store....

 

you just grow up with the fact knowing if you get a sports car with RWD or something you don't want to get destroyed by the salt in the winter this is your only option. Nothing better than that first nice day in spring when you get to bring her out of storage . BTW emad, I have the new Ford Edge this week with Microsoft Sync, freaking love it. Overall a pretty damn good car

 

If i had a car worth storing (IE a 911, Corvette, 370z, Ferrari, etc etc) i would store it. A car like that it is worth it. If you go around to sell it, are you gonna want a sports car thats driven year round, or one that was strictly a summer car?

Gs, unless they are slammed on their nuts with 20s, a second car or is just simply impractical to drive in the winter, i think should be driven. Storing a stock or nearly stock G that you DD all summer makes no sense to me because they go through snow just fine, and at the end of the day when you go to sell it, a dealer/random dude isn't gonna give 2 shats if it was stored or not. My car is stock, storing it would be asinine. I will get no more when I sell it than if it was stored vs driven. So i'll just drive it since it is my daily driver and not my second car and I do not plan on keeping it forever lol.

 

I agree for the most part....

Dan, that edge is sick, isnt it? I would still pick it over the FX, just based on overall value...

I want kasey to get a Sport Edge still, but it wont be till next year sometime... hopefully.
