Everyday, I look at my G.. just sitting there.... undriven for days and sometimes weeks..it hurts... my fiancé has 2 kids so the 4 door TL is much more convenient when we go out, not to mention the internet/tvs that keep them entertained. the G has been driven about 80km last month and for nov, its around 100km so far..

I really really don't want to give it up... i had a conversation with my other half and she says its up to me... As you all know, i have spent a lot of money/time making it what it is and i baby it all the time... the tires still have the red marks on them... motul fluids... even Albert at speedstar asked me if I drive it at all because he said it looks the same everytime i bring it in..

I don't want to give it up but.. if I sell it.. I can save a ton of $$ on insurance, and because its paid off, i can invest the $$ and then perhaps pick up an FX when I get rid of the TL. I dunno.. i've been thinkin about this for the past 2 months.... still undecided...

if it was stock, i would give it up within a blink of an eye... but with the kit and variable tints / rims, gauges... so hard to let go.

the car has so much potential and its being wasted on someone (me) who doesn't drive it, doesn't even have time to work on it... it can be set so everytime its parked, the windows will advertise (advertising company?), you can set it so it will display short rss news feeds on the windows as you approach the car, etc. SOO MUCH potential... maybe if i was single.. i would have the time...


TO THE THREAD OP: I know exactly how it feels to be in a situation like that with kids/minivan etc.

Too bad, fellas. It's time to discover the wonders of the sedan: yes, it's a G, but it has FOUR DOORS! haha.

That's something I'm also not sorry about giving up.

Had to have them with my business.

One thing I can say it was always a treat to jump into the car especially pulling it out after winter storage.

Now it's a just a constant pleasure that I take for granted.

I see a truck in my future again someday but the car is going to have to go.

I read your other post. Do what makes sense to you at this point in your life. A sedan may be a solution for you. Many of us don't drive the G very much if at all in the winter. I still have fond memories of the last event you hosted.

I plan on having two vehicles for a long time yet.
I'm still looking for a another nice truck to replace my Z71. I have the Dealers keeping their eyes open for a Frontier just like your Dad's truck Deane.
