Nissan 370Z Forum - New Member as well as first time Z Owner!

Hello everyone,

First off I'd like to introduce myself to the wonderful www.the370z.com community! My name is Troy, and coincidently my last name is Pepper, thus the nickname Peppers! A friend decide to make Pepper plural one day and well, it just stuck! I'm 21 years old and live in South Texas, Houston suburb to be exact! Midway between Galveston and Houston so I get a little bit of both worlds and it's wonderful! I have the Seawall beach scenic driving as well as the Metro City life! I work downtown actually for Hess Corporation, a global Oil and Natural gas drilling and refining company, I am a Software Systems Analyst! My drive to work each day is around 45 minutes give or take 5-10 minutes depending on traffic! I was previously driving a 96 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L! It was my first vehicle my parents gave me and it had some problems with it of course, first off 8-10mpg was one of the top contenders and that was destroying the bank! So I finally had a nice job and after 5 years of the truck it was time for a change! I had done tons of research and my eyes finally narrowed it down to the Z, so I started the search! On 3/28/11 I found my perfect Car and now can officially call myself a Z owner, and for my first new car / new car purchase I think I made one hell of a decision! I love the car and it's such a change from the hulking Ram! Here are some pictures of my beloved Z!
