My First Z!
 
Hey guys,

I'm coming from an '08 Si. I loved the hell out of my Si and still do. But, it's not in my hands anymore. I came across a used '09 370Z Touring with EVERY accessory/package it could have. By the way, it's a 6-speed with black leather. It only has 7K miles and 1 owner, the thing is in absolutely amazing shape, not a single flaw, as you can imagine due to the mileage. I'm real OCD with my cars and wouldn't have bought used unless it was still "showroom" condition. I went there thinking I wasn't going to get crap for my car after putting 15K into it (after installs, as well). BUT, luckily for me, the Z had been on the lot for over a month since nobody buys Z's in the Winter and I had the upper hand. They dropped about 5K from their original price over the month or so it was there. I said "if you can give me 13-14K, I can maybe work it out" and what do you know, they did. Got the Z for $29,999. I would've never given up my Si but I had to for this deal. Now, I have a new baby, a new project, a new car.

I can't bad mouth the Honda. Trust me, I didn't drop my Si for it's lack of power. S/C that thing and anyone will be in love. I'll miss the Si, but I'm pretty sure that's already beginning to change :rolleyes:

I guess this is the beginning of my journey! OH BOY.

I sense you like white cars :hello:

white w/black leather does sound good...

After having a black car before these two, yes, I've grown QUITE fond of white (in the sense of cleaning). Plus, Nissan's white, has to be the prettiest white I've ever seen in the sun. Good Lord. I'll get around to good pics, eventually, once the mods start coming in. Gotta start saving money for my new project.

Welcome I have a fellow HFP civic Si too! I still owe 6k so I cant get a Z for a while shame on me! but congrats!

KyleBucket 03-02-2011 07:21 PM

I owed 8K, my friend. Z was a dream for me. But, like they say, "never give up on your dreams." Sorry to be cliche, but it's true.

KyleBucket 03-02-2011 08:31 PM

Haha, oh yeah. Some Work VS-XX and S/C are deep in the future, but I already have my list ready and I'll start making pieces disappear off of it:
