Proud new owner of a 370z

I have wanted one since before they came out and I was still in junior high. My Subaru Impreza (non-turbo) I had a 4 year lease on just took a crap on me (needs a new engine) and I wasn't planing on keeping the care to begin with but it looks like I will have to spend $4k in repairs and buy it for my end lease buy price ($9300) and hopefully sell it for at least $8-9k.

I got my 350z with sports package for $500 over invoice which I think was a pretty good deal as it was a very rare configuration and only had 8 miles on it. I wanted it to be blue, manual transmission, and with the sports package. I only could find about 4-5 blue 350z's in Southern California and all but one were automatic. Not only that but the one I did find was in a dealer only 20 miles away!

I setup the deal through email and phone before even going in and am pretty happy with the deal I got as I did not expect at or below invoice on this rare of a 350z configuration (the dealer new it was rare and mentioned that this was the only one in the area).

So far I am really liking it except I miss the oil pressure gauge my dad's 350z has and the digital speedometer. I also found out from the dealer if I hit the clutch I can get this key-less thing into AC and ON mode but I am still not sure how to turn the care back to 'off' once its in AC or ON mode without starting it. Maybe someone could throw me a pointer?

Anyway here are some pictures of my 2010 370z next to my dad's 2004 350Z that has over 100k miles on it (had 6 or 7 when he bought it).







If you look closely in that last picture you might be able to see the old 280z that my dad bought 81' which I drove for the first few years of my driving life.

I just recently bought a house (haven't moved in yet) and finally own my own 370z so I am really happy two have my two biggest dreams fulfilled at 25.

Nice to meet you all and I am sure I will stick my head around if I run into problems or have questions!
