New Owner in Central Illinois

Augustus

I posted this over in the 'new member' area, then realized there was a separate area for 'new Z' owners. Makes more sense here. Stupid newbie.

Greetings!

I'm the proud owner of a gunmetal grey 2011 370Z Touring, MT. Picked it up this weekend, haven't stopped smiling since.

I've flirted with buying a Z for several years. Almost bought a 350Z 4 years ago but couldn't reach an agreement with the dealer.

Decided recently that I wanted a sporty car again - previous car was a 2009 A4. I did extensive test drives of new Mustang 5.0 GT's, Camaro SS's, and (don't laugh) Dodge Challenger R/T's. Even a WRX (had one in '05, fun car). They all had their charms, and I was pretty serious about the Mustang until I found the Z. I think by the first shift of the Z, I had that old, "this is the one" feeling.

Absolutely love it. The 1,200 miles of break-in can't come fast enough.

You've got a great forum here. I hope to hang around for a while!
