Okay i had a 2005 Coupe Enthusiats Pikes Peak White AT.

Today on my birthday 3/7/9 I bought yes yes a 2009 Coupe Black 6MT! with sports package.

I suck *** at shifting and i never drove a manual before but i drove the dam thing home with only 1 stall! hahah, launching the car into first man do i suck and make the car sputter but its fun for the first day.

I know this thread is a fail with out pictures but its 6:49pm in cali today and its dark so its kind of pointless, hopefully tomorrow i can represent with pics!

Happy Birthday to you! I have an 03 Track model and, hopefully, will have an 09 370Z by Wed. They are great cars! You'll get the hang of a manual transmission quick enough. Afterall, I'm sure you're finding reasons to be on the road, especially with the great weekend weather we're having!

Congratulations! My birthday is on the 10th but my deliver is still at least 30 days out.

Ok, it is light out now

How do you like going from a white to a black car, odd question but just wondering?

If your a zaino fan or a polishing fan in general like me, then black is the best becuase you can get the best results, i put like 7 layers of zaino on a white Z and the results was good but nothing like i could have got with a black Z, so in that aspect its F'ing great!

On the down side i was doing some light detailng and i seen dust all over it with in 30 minutes, but really that can be wiped off lightly with a cotton cloth effortlessly.

THe real down side will be the heat factor once i am exposed to it. so far not sat in the stinking sun for a long time. But least it doesnt have leather seats.
