Hi all. New forum member and new Z owner here.

Last Saturday I picked up a 2010 platinum graphite 370z roadster. It's a touring model with sport and navi. Haven't driven it much yet because of the cold weather, but I'm liking it so far.

congrats man! i'm sure i don't need to tell you but enjoy her! welcome to the forums as well. make sure you stop by the Texas-based threads.

Thanks. I'll check those threads out. I can't wait for a reasonably warm weekend day to take it out to the hill country around here.

:bowrofl::rofl2:

you said "hill country" and you live in TX. at least you didn't say "mountains"

LOL. I'm originally from Washington State so I know what mountains look like. There are none in Texas! :)

What is a mountain? :p
Congrats on the car, it looks great.

Thanks. I don't really mind the stock antenna ... though I know alot of people don't like it. I might change it out, but probably not right away.

Congrats on that beauty! I'm in the market for one also, although I've been pretty leisurely about it, due to work.

That PG looks fantastic. I didn't like that color at first, but it's grown on me lately. Kind of like beer when I was younger.

Which dealer did you go to, btw?

I got it at Southpoint Nissan in Austin, TX. They didn't have what I wanted in stock so they had to have it brought up from a dealership in San Antonio. I would have preferred the bordeaux top with wine interior, but the black is fine.

I'm in San Antonio.

If it's an automatic, I may have driven your car! I tested one a couple of weeks back and it was fully loaded like yours. I noticed the dealer didn't have it listed on the website any more. Very sweet ride for sure.

I had driven a manual coupe earlier and I wanted to try the roadster, and this is the one they brought out.

I love it with the top down, not so much with the top up, although I think the 370 roadster is a big improvement over the 350 in looks.

I've been debating about which exterior color looks best with the black top.

It a manual transmission. I test drove an automatic at the dealership and it was nice, but I wanted the 6 speed manual. Ingram Park is the San Antonio dealership they got it from.

How do you like the Nav? There are parts of the system I like, but I'm not sure I'll get it.

I'm open minded on the tranny but definitely want the touring and sports packages.

And hey, it's warm enough for a topless drive! I used to have a vert, and I just put the windows up and turned the heat on! Wasteful, yeah, but it was a convertible!

The Nav is cool. Definitely not a necessity, but fun. I tend to just head out with no destination in mind and let the nav take me home. It recalculates the route quickly and you can even set it to avoid highways. The Hard Drive audio system is a mixed bag. It's cool that you can play MP3s from a USB drive, but the only way to get music onto the HD is to copy it from a CD that's in the drive. I wish I could just load music onto a USB drive and transfer them to the HD via USB.

congrats and welcome aboard. sweet looking Zr!!!!!!!!!
