I kept mine. So far.

My daughter is now 6 1/2 months old. I haven't driven it nearly as much, but I still have it.

Congrats by the way.

When I bought my car 3 years ago, I j bought it then broke the news to the wife

She was pretty mad at the time but she got over it eventually. Now we have a 9 month old son plus I often need my truck for work so I rarely drive my car. I told her last week I was thinking of selling the car and she got quite upset at me and is insisting I keep it....

The fun part is fitting the baby seat in the back seat of the 'Bird.

**2000T/A Guru** · 08-19-2007, 08:37 AM

Never mind that neck thing.

I am still scared to go WOT with Sara in the car. Probably won't for a very long time.

**craig02ta** · 08-19-2007, 08:46 AM

thats the only problem is its not paid off $300 a month,but thats not to bad i dont see how people my age pay 500-600 a month for a car/truck.

**michaelinchains** · 08-19-2007, 08:47 AM

just kiddin `bout the wot part

**NvyBluMtlc02WS6** · 08-19-2007, 08:48 AM

I rarely go WOT with anyone in the car, much less a baby. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to that other person because I was screwing around. Congrats on becoming a daddy and to all you other daddys out there. Just remember, anyone can be a father, but it takes a man to be a dad.

Figured as much.

It would figure...the time I took Sara and Julie to the local Sonic for the Friday night cruise-in a ricer in a neon tried me at a light.

I have seen him in my neighborhood a few times. One of these days I will catch him.

That's why I got a comfy SUV for family runs

Besides, my bird is always breaking

**joejenkinsglass** · 08-19-2007, 05:26 PM

even if its best to sell it it is only a car and can be had again at a later date I do really like my cars/trucks but would gladly send them down the road for my family so do what you need to do and dont feel bad about it

sissy.....I put 2 in the back of mine yesterday and hauled them to a buddies house for a cookout.

Where there's a will there's a way. Good thing my daughter is to young to complain because it looked pretty tight on her side.

Maybe if the stupid buckle part wouldn't keep falling down inbetween the seat and the driveline hump...

**ZX9er** · 08-20-2007, 09:38 AM

I sold my ZX9 after I found out I was going to be a dad. One week later I got a new job paying a lot better so now I'm trying to find me a toy to replace it. Wife says no more bikes so I'm looking for a bird. I have to have something fast to play with.
