Well I'm not sure where that car is but I would have taken a damn hard look at it if I had seen it before I signed the papers.
I pushed the dealer pretty hard and walked out the door at $18k. I'm happy but still searching for that third pedal. We'll see how long it takes for me to stop trying to grab my own gears.
Thanks for the info and advice folks!

Just a little advice..,really none of my biz....but you might wanna reevaluate your stance on kids. I used to think the same way as you do, but when my sons were born...oh my goodness! Really there's no way to describe it.
I would destroy 50 highly modified G's that I owned and worked on before I let either of my sons break an arm.

Eh, I appreciate the sentiment. I'm just a tad too selfish at this point. the Gf is immature enough sometimes that I get my fill of having to play Daddy 
On another note. Wow, I thought I liked driving my e30. Its been a very long time since I've driven a car that made me want to take the long way around. Just wow. Very happy with my decision despite the MPG haha.
And funny how I never had people in mustangs trying to screw with me on the highway before. This one is apparently a magnet for dumbass kids who want to impress the chick in their passenger seat.

Lol. I can't get anybody to race me. I've had my G for just over a year and I've only smoked like 3-4 rides. But my hot blonde wife, on the other hand, gets to smoke people on the daily! It's bs IMO. I've taken to riding with the top down and the windows up so other drivers can't tell its a guy driving. Hasn't really worked yet tho 
. LOL

Congrats in the S man. Hearing your shopping experience really makes me happy with the deal I found last month. Happened upon an 08 S coupe w/ 64k miles last month at my credit union. Whenever they have to do a repo they keep it at the branch and try to sell to their customers. Had a sales sheet in the window wth a price of $18k marked down to $15.5 already. When I asked about it they said they really wanted to get rid of it so they can recoup their money. I decided to test them on that and gave a ridiculous lowball of $13k and to my surprise the branch manager called and said if you can sign the paperwork before the end of the day they'd do $13k haha. Couldn't believe my ears and took the rest of the day off work and went and sold my Z to a dealership for $9k. My wife's been wanting me to get rid of the Z since we found out we're having our first kid and this was my answer to that lol. Already ordered the little one a Recaro car seat for when he gets here

Evo Recaros are 2-way mechanically adjustable (front-to-rear and the seatback). that's IT.
i had to put in longer bolts and shim them up an inch, because even at 6' tall, i still felt like i was sitting in a bathtub. they are very comfortable, though.
G37 sport seats are 12-way power adjustable (also thigh extender), with memory.
i'm still playing with seat controls, trying to find that perfect position.
