New 370z owner - finally
 

I've been a big fan ever since I attended the Inside Line reveal back in 2008 before the LA autoshow. I had been on the hunt for a GT-R, but couldn't find one at a reasonable price. After I saw the 370z at the reveal, I knew I wanted one. Then an interesting thing happened 2 days later, I found a GT-R at "only" $2000 over MSRP in California. That next weekend I was a GT-R owner..

Flash forward to June 2009, I was looking for a daily driver. I was driving from San Diego to LA almost every week. I test drove a 370z and a G37 and opted for the G37. At the time it was the right move since the G was a little more comfortable as a DD and I had the GT-R for the perfomance driving.

By fall 2010 I had a new job that was 100% local and we were eager to buy a new property and turn our old one into a rental. That goal required some sacrafice including selling the GT-R and G37. 1 year ago this month, we moved into our new house. Our vehicles at that time and still today are a 2010 Ford Raptor and a leased 2011 Accord. It was time to get into something fun again (on road, the Raptor is a blast offroad), so today we drove home a 2012 Solid Red Sport, Touring, Nav from Yuma.. :tup:

Congratulations. Sweet ride back to SD on I-8 through the mountains.

My wife and dog were trailing me in the Raptor, so I took it pretty light. I did try to honor the stated break in steps by changing up speeds, but keeping the RPM's within reason. Next weekend we are going up the coast all the way to San Fran in it :happydance:

Hi

Congrats!!

Congrats N nice colour chosen

Cool car!! And you got the oil cooler! Stick? I'd be interested to hear how it does on the drive up the coast and what kind of mpg you get. I get ~26 on the highway in my roadster 6mt and that's driving pretty aggressively!
