Just clowning around...

Kind of the way I felt when I was in my boosted S13 with an R8 V10 beside me for a few miles one day.

[370Z/28]

I wish I could get someone to photoshop out the other cars and the light posts so you can't tell it is a parking lot. I was shopping (can you believe?!?!) and of course I park out in left field. When I came back out, this was parked one space over and behind me. I couldn't help myself, so I cranked up and pulled over to get this shot. I would have DIED if he had come out or if I had hit it. It sure was a beautiful car. The only GTRs I have seen were grey or black. This blue one was gorgeous.

I really hope a GTR will be my "over 30 years old" car, i've had two Gs in my 20s. used GTRs are in the high $50k right now... maybey low 50k in a couple years when I'm 30, fingers crossed!!! (now what ill drive after 40 years old, IDK)

yep I've only seen a blue GTR in person once.

[370Z/28]

OOH....OOH......come pick me up!!!!

My neighbor is on his second black one. He's a medical practice broker. It apparently pays well.

Go ahead and give me some money. I probably won't afford a GTR priced car in my 130s.

But look at the bright side, your insurance would be cheap.

[kmckis1029]

lol if i was talking a new GTR then yeah i'm balling, but a used GTR (2009-2010) in the 50k range is only 10k more than a optioned out G37, same price as a S5, M3, 335 with all options, corvette, gt500, ect. then add a good down payment and the price is lower. so a used GTR is more in reach than you think.

what it comes down to is doing the maintence your self, taxes(ga is getting rid of the "birthday tax" so ill only have to pay taxes once), and insurance cost.

Starts going up at a cerain age.

I'm wondering if insurance is ever cheap. I pay too much for never using. Insurance has paid for 2-3 windshield replacements in my life, but that's it. Just dropped under $100/month for 2 of my cars, 1 being 10 years old and the other being 20. Rip off.

Yeah, I can't afford a new G37 either. I do everything my self on my old cars and am still paying off my 10 year old G35 for another year and a half.

I told my State Farm agent that I should have gotten some kind of rebate on my Camaro. Had it insured with them for 17 years and never filed a claim. They didn't see it my way.

[kmckis1029]

ive actually had one claim in my life for a tire tread damaging my front spoiler and my insurance went up $200 cause of it. I called and complained to no avail. I would understand if i hit a car or my car was more damaged, only a $1500 claim which i paid $500 of... im gettung mad thinking about it. when my insurance renews next i think ill get my revenge and switch companies lol.

[370Z/28]

I would. Who do you have?

[SVTCOBRA]

You should shop insurance AT LEAST every other year!!
If you find a cheaper price (which I did) more than likely your insurance company will adjust (which they did) to beat the competitor....If not, jump ship.
We have been with Travelers for a long time now....group rate thru our credit union, multi car discount, home & auto discount, discount for being with them long time....
But, still shop around and keep them honest!!!

[audtatious]

I beat a parked Ferrari once

[370Z/28]

Y'all didn't say anything about my sticker. How do you like my sticker?

[audtatious]

i saw it...Decided not to comment since you were parked too

[joe603]

So I was very serious about my next car being a used GT-R...until I did an insurance check. Was going to go UP $250 per month!! By comparison, my SRT-8 increased it $7 per month. (also checked GT500, CTS-V, and ZL1 up around $20-30 per month)

The only thing I can think of is the GT-R has a tone of carbon fiber and that is CRAZY expensive to fix.

[370Z/28]

Now that really SUX!!!

Did you try getting a quote with high deductables and seeing if that would help any?

When I had my WS-6 Trans Am, the insurance was $80 more a year because it was a WS-6. Really?!?!? It had like only 15 more horsepower than a regular TA.

[biggie]

It would be from the classification of the GTR it would pretty much be a 'supercar' for insurance purposes.

[joe603]

Hell, even the top dog 'vette ZR1 was cheaper! My wife likes to have the deductibles at 1k I think...didn't mess with changing any options or another company...just a direct comparison to what I currently had and what I was going to get. We also have pretty high coverage...probable a few supercars worth of coverage

Sucks too because I found a used 09 GT-R for under 60k

[370Z/28]

What color?

[joe603]

Black of course! I'm sure there are deals on autotrader right now!

[370Z/28]

Once you have black......

I will never have another black car. They are beautiful for the first 5 minutes after you wash it....then dust city.

Of course I can remember saying after my S2000 that I would never own a 2 seater again and I would never have a car that you couldn't rotate the tires.

[biggie]

I've had 3 black cars. I'd have one again, but used, new you hate see the swirls develop n

[audtatious]

yeah, I'm car color racist too i guess.
