total noob!

Hey all. Well I don't have a 370Z yet, but I absolutely love the car. As soon as my lease is up on my current car, I am going to get one. I've had two other Z cars in the past. I had a 1975 280Z, and a 1991 300zxTT, as well as a bunch of other cars. Right now I have a 2008 Evolution X. It's a really fun car, it loves to be modded, and the handling is out of this world. It really doesn't make for a good daily driver though. I'm just a little tired of the Evo thing as I've also had a 2006 Evolution IX mr, and a 2003 Evolution VIII. Also a 2006 WRX, and a 2008 Forester (yes the Forester was modded). All told I've had 36 cars, but these were the more notable ones.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hi. I'm less than a year from getting my 370Z and I cant wait. I'll just keep lurking on this forum trying to learn all I can before I get my car.

Welcome...and let me just say....great color combo and wheel choice.....wonder why I say that:

Yes, there's a Persimmon interior.

Good luck with your persuit on the Monterey Blue Z...I'm sure you'll love it!

That is a beautiful car. That is exactly what I want. If I didn't mind sleeping in the garage with the car I would go get it now, but my wife would certainly kill me.

Yeah you will. As it turns out, I will be at the Technosquare dyno day now so maybe we will hook up that ride then. Just can't afford Vegas right now
