Then in 2005 I bought a used silver one and I had no idea how to drive a standard. So when I was at the dealership I ended buying the car. I then had to call my friend up, to come and drive my car home for me because I had no idea how to drive the thing. But I wasn't going to buy a sports car and get an automatic. I spent the better part of the next day learning how to drive my new car. I must have stalled about a million and one times. I was so intimidated by the car that I called the dealership up and asked if I could trade it in for an automatic. The salesman told me he would see what he could do. After the phone call though I thought to myself I am not going let this beat me. I am going to learn to drive this thing one way or another. After a week I had a pretty good handle on it. The car intimidated the hell out of me at first, but over time I got used to it and now the Z is the only car I have ever owned. I traded my 03 in for an 07 and then traded that in for my Nismo. And the only reason why I got the Nismo was because the dealership I went too was all out of standards for the 370z sports model. So I got talked into getting a Nismo but to be honest it wasn’t hard for them to talk me into getting it. I must say that I love driving my car and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. There might be faster cars or nicer cars out there but I love my Nismo. I think that if you get a Nismo it might be intimidating at first but you will get the hang of it and you’ll have a blast. That is just my thoughts on it. And as far as color, mine is black and I get comments on it all the time by people saying it looks kind of like the bat mobile. So I really enjoy black. But the red one also looks amazing. Honestly just getting a Nismo in any color and you can’t go wrong. Let us all know how things turn out and what you end up going with.
Cool story. I remember learning to drive stick with my Mom. Starting on inclined hills was so scary, but I got better with time.
I didn't know enough about cars when I was 15 to think about a manual vs. an automatic. I just took the manual as a normal part of a car.

There are definitely faster and nicer cars on the market. The 370z seems to know what it is, and I like that.
