I just got 5 more photos from the folks who are currently auctioning off my old Yellow 370Z. His name is Peter Bulba.

His comments to me in the email:

here are the pics of your previous car . its a shame but oh well things happen i wish i could restore this one but man its banged up a little to much for me i mean i fixed dozens of 350zs and g35s but this is my first 370Z what would you say about comparison to the 350Z like driving wise?

I really can't answer his question since this is my first Z. I'd happily respond to him if anyone has any imput they'd like me to pass along.;)

nuts!

Funny story, I just traded in my orange 350 for a blue 370 today but yesterday I was at Passport in Alexandria and Mr. Austin (the salesman) was tellin me about this kid who bought a 370 from them, wrecked it and came to get another. I told him thass just greedy, he already had one. Come to find out it was you. Just want everyone to know that this guy wanted to drive his new Z so bad, he went with the AT on the new one, cause he couldn't drive the MT with his foot (according to the salesman). See you on the road man.

Haha...cool! And I have a feeling I know who the salesman is. I think he's the one who put my plates on my car yesterday. I told him the story and I think he thought the old one was a manual but it, too, was automatic. I think he misunderstood when I said thankfully this one is automatic otherwise I wouldn't be behind a new Z so soon. :tup:

How the hell do you manage that before the engine break in is over!?!? God gave you a second chance to get that bad boy w/ a manual and you still didnt, lol. Love the blue w/ persimmon though! It was a toss up between the yellow and blue for me. I think i like the yellow a little better but I HAD to have the persimmon.

Where are you in NorthVA? As i am currently looking into getting a Z, maybe you had a good location to get a deal. I saw Alexandria on the plate cover and I am not far from there.

I think I was supposed to have your blue Z but my local dealership wasn't able to nagotiate a transfer with yours in Alexandria. They got mine from Philly instead.

From your story, it sounds like yellow Z might have been bad luck.

Sent ya a pm. ;)

I tend to agree with ya there.....my own personal "Christine"! :icon17:

Well, here's my first "upgrade"....it's all I can afford at the moment. I purchased the matching color front mats and rear trunk mat from The Z Store. Looks pretty good, IMO:

Well you got my first and second choice color combinations. I ended up with yellow, my first choice. I hope I have better luck with it. Glad you're okay, for the most part, and good to see you got a good deal on the car.

Had to give my baby its first bath.....
 

Even though I know it'll probably rain later today...I just had to do it! ;)

And me.....next to my pride & joy...showing off the hair! Rock on!

WOW, how many years on that hair?

Love the persimmon interior by the way!

Thanks on the interior....I love the color combo. And its been just over 6 years on the hair. You can see the transformation from brown to grey! (Almost makes me want to dye it) :icon17:

That's commitment! Are you in a band? I ask due to the hair and the rock on comment.
