Guess what?
I got myself a 350Z over the weekend! Decent deal, Touring edition w/ 3700mi. on it for $29k.
The aero package and the extra crap they spray to "protect the paint and interior" was also in there.
The minute I got the keys in my hand, snow starts coming down. During that night I was fishtailin all the way home... had one 180 degree spin out across 3 lanes (w/ no traffic, whew!). Got home drenched in sweat and almost crapped myself doing it. But my baby is safe and sound. MY GOD IT'S FAST... this is coming from a Civic owner so the change is noticeable

Dopey, I love the Z so much that I'd prolly actually move to a better climate if not for the fact that I love my current job in Chitown.
Hellz yeah my peeps are getting a ride at the next PCA LAN

I myself may be looking for a Z before too long. It will take me a good while to save up the money (I want to pay at least $10k down, lets see them refuse to give me a loan with that kind of $$$ down). Got any pics of yours yet Ed? It will probably be a good 1 1/2 years before I can get mine..

Oh well, my GA does me good for now.. heh

I've wanted to take some pics but the poor weather here prevents me from doing the Z justice. I actually didn't put anything down but my trade-in.
I went to the dealer w/ my 2K Civic w/ 62k on it (they kinda like the fact it has alarm w/ remote start and a brand new MP3/WMA player w/ remote in there). I asked for $7500 trade-in and got it. Then I had to choose between the Z and the Murano (had to be sensible you know). I told myself I'd get whichever is cheaper is the one I'd get. Then afterwards, it turns out the Murano actually costs me $2k more but has 2.9 finance whereas the Z has 4.9 finance... in other words... the same freakin monthly payment. That's where I threw sensibility out the window and went w/ the Z.

Nice! I think i'd still rather have a 2004 S2000 but the Z's are nice. Bleh who am i kidding. I won't have a sports car for a while unless i win the lotto. Gotta worry about the family ride first. So i'll be lookin' at the VW Passat TDI's... lol

Thanks for letting me take a spin. Fun car. Personally 2 small for my needs (and probably yours, hehe) but damn fun.

Congrats on the new ride. Yeah, pics dude!
First ride home and you already spun out? lol
Must be nice to have that 6th gear, especially for highway driving. Saves on gas and quieter. My Prelude is only 5 speed and up on the highway it revvs to 3.5k at 60mph. Not as good on gas and a bit loud.
I'd pick a Z over a S2000, looks sharper and roomier.
