2010 6M vert fully loaded
So bit of a story of why I have a vert... So before I had the fairlady I had bought a 15 brz, loved the car on the track but for an everyday car was utter crap a rattly POS, so we had gotten a 370z in on trade at work and seeing it was a vert figured it was an auto and really didnt care, the next day I get to work and I pull it up for a used car inspection and go out to it and bam full option 6M vert, I knew the second I started the car I wanted it...even if it was a vert talked to our used car guy and really the price was too good to pass up...

Now what I want to do pff where does one start?? its my daily but I track it a few times a month in the nice weather so some performance some daily, at least till I can import my delta

So I have the 2.5in aam exhaust in it and I have to say while it sounds great... worst exhaust I have ever put in, never wants to line up doesnt want to seal at all... but oh well it sounds nice some of the time so plan is to cut off the flanges and weld it all, rebend all the hangers and just live with it...

So I descided to pull everything out of the trunk not only to save a small amount of weight but also it makes the tiny trunk usable now! I can get a whole wheel in there now haha







going through all my photos I came across some of my old cars...I wish I had the space for more cars
