6spd: Back & Better Than Ever

6spd · 05-23-2014, 09:41 PM

After about a year hiatus away from a 370Z, I'm back with a new '14 Touring/Sport/Nav/Manual. Got it 5/22/14 for about $2K under invoice, couldn't pass it up.

Before this I had an '09 Base/Sport/Manual from October 09- August 13, then got a '13 Touring/Sport/Auto August 13- October 13, then a '13 Civic SI November 13-December 13, then a '13 WRX December 13- May 14, now finally into this Z. Last year was a shitty and unpredictable year, but now that is has subsided, I'm back in the proper position and in my dream car. Enough of the talk, I know you want pics, so here they are!

UPDATE: MORE PICS IN POST #11

My old 09 Z:

My old '13 Z:

My old Civic SI:

My old WRX:

The 09 Z was awesome, had its issues, never should have got rid of it, but **** happens, learn and move on. The 13 Z was alright, but the tranny slipped real bad, 2 laps into last years Nismo Academy damn near finished it off. The Civic was just a stupid decision, enough said. The WRX was awesome fun, very quick, and hauled my photo gear very easily to and from jobs, but it was getting shitty gas mileage, probably not helped by the mods I had. Now the new Z is everything I ever wanted in a Z, and I'll be keeping it for a long long time to come. No mods planned at this time except the GTR button and the sexy picture of my fiancee stuck in the tachometer. More pics to come. If you want to see more pics and stuff, check out my portfolio in my sig \/\/

You sure switched between a few cars in 2013 lol. nice to see you back in the Z.

And goes without saying, great shots!

Thanks man, yeah, it was a roller coaster of a year in many ways, but nice to get back to some normalcy.

Haha! Canon guy with special sauce. I like your photos so I don't care what you shoot with

6spd · 05-28-2014, 06:23 PM

Lol thanks! The shots of the new Z were taken very quickly due to limited time, but I'm gonna reshoot them much cleaner.

Zbrah · 05-28-2014, 07:05 PM

Your pics belong in a Z catalog bro. Maybe sell them to Nissan?
