WOW, That must be a hard decision to make. Sell your Z to make the Wife happy. I would sell my wife before my car, (just kidding).

Dakota, somehow I don't think you're kidding.

I agree with dakota. Be a cold day in hell before my wife would ever make me sell any of my toys. if she wanted a mustang she can find a way to buy one herself.

Well, since i hav eanother Z and a 66 Mustang, i really can't object too much! I have to drive the Xterra for work (wisking clients about the countryside) and the 260 is for racing and the Mustang is being restored, so, the request for a more luxurious (yet still powerful) four seater has been requested of me. She is quite tollerable of all of my other "toys" (oh yeah i forgot the motorcycle, which i am selling as well, that's her's though). Anyway, i will be just as busy AND it gives me leverage later (heheheheh).

Z ya,

Why not sell whatever SHE'S driving. If she wants a new Mustang let her be the one to sacrifice......

Remember, SAVE THE Z!! Collect one of each model!!!! or better yet let ME collect them all..

2¢

Man u guys are tough!

She is giving me the NEW Xterra so that i will be able to transport clients, a little easier than putting a couple of them in the rear hatch area of the Z

besides, i only have a 1 1/2 car garage as it is, too many cars now, if i sell it to someone i know i will be much happier, if it doesn't sell, thats cool as well!

I guess if you said you were selling it to buy a 350Z you really would have been in for it!:devious:

Hopefully you'll be kind enough to let her have a Cobra and not one of those "plain old Mustangs"....You'll get more "leverage" that way....

Ok, let's see....

1-1/2 car garage....

Xterra- out in the rain, it's supposedly a "Sports" Utility Vehicle so the rain will do it good.

260 - get a racing car trailer, put it in there. You don't want the local tree apes in the neighborhood messing around in or around it. You can tow the trailer behind the Xterra.

66 Mustang- it's getting restored, no problem for now. When it gets back......sell it. They're cute, but it's no Z and besides you can always find another one, heck they're still making the darn thing.

New Mustang - It's under warranty and should be no problem out in the rain. If it isn't then you can sue Ford and get a new one.

71 240 - Needed to fill the space in the garage, as well as ensure that it stays in good condition.

The other half of the garage ----- the Motorcycle!!

I think that about covers it.

Escanlon has truly summed it up here...

Only problem is that this is reality in a parallel universe where the wife understands when you say "I need that classic zcar in the garage _more_ than you need a new mustang in the garage"...

ROTFL

I here your pain... Mine wants the parts car out of the driveway begininning of spring...

I hear you on getting rid of the parts car...My problem is that I can only park 4 cars in the driveway, in front of the 2 car garage that's jammed packed with tools and other crap, and with my Z, the 68 Roadster and the parts car, I would have to bump my wife's Subaru out onto the street where my Acura currently resides.

I'm working on the garage, but it's been easier said than done.

I've got 2 cars in a 1 1/2 car garage, as well as the 87 KX-125 (cam 2 bike)! much easier when one Z is on it;s side. Got the 78 2+2 in the driveway Donor car :classic: with the 97 explorer....

I need a barn! I actually got lucky in finding a girl that wants me to have all the toys!
