My 1st JDM Yo!

My 1st ever Non-Kraut vehicle.

My 2nd Axis power vehicle, all I need now is an Italian ride to complete my Tripartite collection.

Got tired Bratwürste, gonna give Sushi a try.

Finally a car with electronics that work.

;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Congrats on the new ride.. Next time tho, just call it a Z (Or Zed)...Anything else is just going to confuse everyone. :rofl2:

+1 all over this thread :tup:

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 19 March 2009 — Buick and Jaguar each rank highest in vehicle dependability in a tie, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Vehicle Dependability StudySM (VDS) released today. Buick improves from a sixth-place ranking in 2008, while Jaguar improves from 10th place. Following in the top five rankings this year are Lexus, Toyota and Mercury.

With that said, the only thing in my garage is a 370z and a Yaris, after years of American cars (a Corvette, 3 mustangs, Ford Ranger and Chevy S10). To me, it's the fit and finish for the price. America cars are inexpensive, but look cheap. European cars are expensive and look posh. Asian cars are inexpensive, but look posh.

Wow! After reading this, I'm completely discounting the JD Power VDS in the future.

Now you ain't EVER goin' back to Germs, U.S., or Koreans! Congrats'! BTW, for reliability records, go with CR; no tainted results with 'em!

Actually yes but that won't be until I get a hold of one. I can't seem to get a response via PM here with them. I have something else that's at paint right now which I'll be trying. ;)

Cool, I like that EVO valance, and am probably going to add that to my car as well. I know he was just at SEMA, and may be slow getting back in the swing of answering mail.

What wheels are those? They are really nice. They look like the HRE's I like (but will never pay for)

Hey Kev, that big type R shift knob ...... is that thing too hot to deal with in the middle of the summer, if the car has been sitting outside? I would imagine it gets cold in winter as well, but that would warm up quickly, the heat thing worries me. I am looking to add one to my Z. Thanks.

It was hot one time and that's all it took for me to get a windshield sunshade.
After that I didn't have any problem!

Gottcha, so sounds like just outside ambient temps didn't cause an issue, but having the sun bake on it did.
