New 370Z came in!
 

Hi, all:

My name is Trace and I recently parted with my meticulously maintained 2003 350Z Enthusiast because I ordered and took possession of a 2014 370Z Touring model with Sport Package and Nav System.

The 350Z went to my girlfriend's daughter and, as her first car, I'd like to think that she's done alright. (My first car was a Ford Pinto and my girlfriend's was a Yugo...if you can imagine...)

In my old 2003, I swapped my old base-model stereo for a really nice Alpine. So I admit to be a bit perplexed that the upgraded Bose stereo in the 2014 doesn't even have a graphic equalizer...! Nonetheless, I am very pleased with my purchase decision.

Can't wait for my first proper Road Trip.

See you guys and gals around! I look forward to sharing and learning with you.

Congrats and welcome :tiphat:. Pics?

Congratulations and welcome, Trace! :tiphat:

Yeah, post some pics!

Congrats on the new Z

Welcome to the 370Z forum Trace

Awesome! Ford Pinto! Ha ha. My first was an '89 Sentra.

welcome

Nice! What color did you get it in? :)

Good upgrade to a 370z.
Post some pictures of her and the previous 350.

Welcome to the best Z forum on the interweb...

My first new car was a 1974 Vega GT. What the heck was I thinking????

Welcome

Congrats and welcome from another new guy!

In for pics!

Congrats and welcome to the family!!!

Some Photos
 

I reduced these so that the forum would accept them, but I'm very impressed how they turned out. Photoshop has an option called Save for Web and it worked really well by reducing the file size dramatically without destroying quality.

A few more...

The entire squadron...in formation...one last time.

Thanks for taking an interest!

Please take a look further down in the forum!

I just posted some photos!

Was that a Vega with an aluminum block? My sister had a 1972...yikes.

I got her in white with a mixed, black/grey interior. I like the two-toned look, but that grey trim may prove problematic over time for keeping it clean. We'll have to stay on top of it.

Absolutely beautiful Z, Trace. Mine is MB, but I love the PW. Have a great weekend enjoying it!

Thanks, Memphis!

Nice color choice!!

That bra on the 350Z. :thumbsdown:

Welcome. Thats's funny, I had a Pinto when I was a teenager too. I won't say how long ago that was but you already know...:-)

Yeah, bras aren't the prettiest things, but I got tired of the bug divots when driving to San Diego... :/

Excellent color choice. Now for the suspension, exhaust, intakes, and ....... (it never ends)

New paint coating?
 

Hi, all:

I am sure that the answer to this question is in the forum somewhere, but I can't find the right search terms to track it down.

I kept my old Z in tip-top condition by giving her a wax/coating every six months or so. (Lately I have been using NuFinish in the orange can.) I want to do the same with the new Z. I just don't know what they use when they ship her from the factory, so I don't know how soon to begin.

Any ideas? It does bead up somewhat when I wash her, but that might be something temporary that the dealer put on.

Thanks! :hello:

Congrats! And Welcome to the Forums!

Enjoy the Z Bro!
