I think so, I'm not 100% sure... Did you take some passenger side front fender damage?

I'm wanting a Metallic Black, but finding one has been rather tiresome and I'm thinking the blue would be my 2nd choice and I'm not a fan of it as much as the black, but I'm wondering if having enough time with it, would that change my mind? Or am I being completely retarded and over-thinking this? lol

I wasn't so sure about the blue in the beginning but I did like like it. But the day I came to pick up my Z from the dealer, I was basically

. It's such a beautiful color.

You have to understand, white , black or red etc are simple colors. There's no wow factor in them. But this special light blue gets attention everywhere. As you may already know, I attended an autox event yesterday NJ Motorsports Park Winter Autox series #3 March 6th (pics/video inside). I have had at least 7 people tell me how fantastic the blue color looks. Started from a gas station where the attendants told me that this is the BEST blue color they have ever seen (and they see plenty of cars everyday). Then, at the autox event, I had people walk over to me and tell me how fantastic the color looks. Heck, even the Tech inspectors at the event were thrilled to see this color. There was also a black 370Z at the event and as I have said before, it's just another color.

So, yes, I love my Monterey Blue. I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY!

Thank you sir.

I appreciate it.

So, It's been just over 1 year I have driven the 370Z. If I recall correctly, I bought this car March 28th 2009. During 1 year, I have driven close to 18,000 miles!

So much for industry average of 12,000 miles

.

It's a fantastic car. I enjoyed every single one of those eighteen thousand miles. I have never had so many people give me this much

for a car. Three weeks ago, I had someone knock on my glass (I lowered the window) and tell me what a fantastic car this is. Love this car. Especially love the look, suspension (<-- one of my fav feature) and the amazing SRM.

So legit. That's very nice of her!

AK370Z · 07-23-2010, 02:26 PM

wow.. I haven't updated this page in a while. So, I'll try to add some stuff here:

First thing, I did my 5th oil change on 05.24.10 (4th synthetic)

Quote:

That's just in 1 year! I drive a lot

Oil Draining

Every single oil change sample was sent to Blackstone Lab. It's a GREAT idea to do this because they can guide you perfectly when to do the next oil change, how's the oil etc. I usually don't share this on the forum because EVERY analysis will be different depending on driving condition, mileage, weather, driving habit, and many other things.

I always put new crush washer. Though my dealer overcharge (1 washer = $1.06, usually they are 3 for $1) me every time , never reuse washer.

Tried to take a picture of the inside opening. Just for fun Looks pretty clean

NO more Aquafina!

Look at the great transformation your car has undergone! Well done, AK! And thanks for consolidating all the various links of your mods into one easy to find place. I've been meaning to do that too but haven't gotten around to it. LOL.

THank you sir

. Yes the sound clip doesn't even do the exhaust justice. With the Stillen G3 intake (installed recently) ,this car currently sounds EXOTIC (in my opinion). The HKS still retains the amazing OEM VQ sound but it's more aggressive. Also, there's NO hiss or drone at any RPM with this exhaust.

I am planning on making some drive by video. Here's a take off video
