2theextreme's Yellow & Blue 370Z (added more wrecked photos)
 

As most know, I was involved in an accident back on 9 March which unfortunately totalled my Yellow 370Z but I was able to replace her with a Blue model. Same great deal with both.....payments never changed.....then again I only had the Yellow for such a short time I never made a first payment on her.

First, the Yellow one (R.I.P.):

Next to my aunt's Mustang GT....she purchased it the same day as I got the Z:

Good thread for comparison shoppers wanting to decide if they want a Yellow or a Blue, I suppose.;)

i will go for the blue .. but i like them both =)http://animepisodes.info/images/2aaa...dc081c6541.jpg

try and keep it in one piece this time.

I much prefer the Yellow, but any Z is great :)

ohhmyy!
I love the blue and I love the orange leather but I don't think they go together well but after seeing your pictures I'm deffinatley going to get the same thing haha
well I hope you enjoy your new ride man and hopefully this car will never see a accident!
( I just hydroplaned in my 350 and hit a tree so now I think it's time for the 370!!!) >:)

1st to own 2 370z's so far....lol


the blue on orange looks quite nice !!

its like hitting the reset button

Exactly! :tup:

If you don't mind me asking..what's story behind the wreck on the first one? I'm assuming the car is damn safe since you're here talking lol

Here's a direct link to what happened:

And yes, after you read what happened, I'd say the 370 is a VERY safe car! ;)

Oh.....and in case anyone wanted to see what they do to support a broken foot....this is the metal bar I had for 4 weeks:

It's out now but I still have two more weeks before I can begin to put weight on my foot. It will be just a little over 2 months since the accident and will just begin to learn to walk again. I had no idea how long a process it would be with a broken foot. I don't recommend it! :icon17:

/\ yeah, it's called external fixation method. Good luck on your recovery. Love your new Z.

Is this your yellow Z for sale on ebay?

yellow Z

It sure is! And so it comes around....full circle! ;)

LOL that's crazy. Someone should buy it and fix it up.

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:

And just to show it's still in 1 piece.....:p

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!


http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...9-06-06015.jpg

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.

No, but a do have several friends who have their own bands. I guess I remember when my parents (mostly my mom) wouldn't let me have long hair as a kid. One year I just decided to do it and keep thinking about cutting (and I'll certainly donate it when I do) but I just can't get myself to do it.

It's a real pain trying to wash it and I've had a few nights where I've woken up from it wrapping around my neck. :p

damn. when my hair touches my ears i start to flip out!

Maybe I let it go because in the Air Force I had to keep nice and short......years later I'm just rebelling! :p

hippie! :D

The floor mats really seem to match well. I'll have to look into those.

I'm one year in on my hair, got it to the chin, but I don't think I'll be catching you anytime soon.

:icon18:

You bought from Passport Nissan?

I was going to but they were too pushy. I did however take out two of their blue Zs on two seperate occasions last month. I wonder if I drove your car!

Ya never know....its possible! ;)

Who did u deal with at Passport? You can pm me if you want.
