New Z Owner & New Forum Member

ZeeGirl · 10-01-2010, 12:21 PM

Hi Everyone,
I've been a lurker for a few months and decided to join.
My husband bought me a new 2009 370Z a couple months ago. My first "real" sports car. I owned an '83 Camaro (350 V8) back in the early 90's but it was basically a POS. LOL!
We've put 6000 miles on the Z so far, which includes a 2700-mile trip down to Louisiana and back north thru the Smoky Mtns. Did the Tail of the Dragon while down there too!
I used to ride sportbikes, but decided to give it up a couple years ago due to detached retinas in both eyes over the course of 7 years. Yeah, that sucked.
The Z certainly is just as much fun to drive as riding a motorcycle, but they both have their pros and cons.
It's nice to have something with alot of horsepower to play with on the road again.

Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself before I started to post.

Thanks for the replies.
Here's a couple pics....

Taken about a week after I took delivery:

At Deals Gap:

Packed and ready to go! We were on the road for 9 days with the Z, and never really felt pinched for space. You just have to be very organized.

Welcome, nice Z.

vividracing · 10-02-2010, 11:05 PM

awesome! congrats on getting the new Z!

ZeeGirl · 10-12-2010, 10:23 AM

Thanks everyone.

I've been trying to drive it as much as possible before I have to put it up for the winter. Just got a car cover for it a couple weeks ago. It'll be kept in a garage, but it needs a "blanket" on it to keep it protected.

I'll try to post whenever I get a chance. This seems to be a really nice forum for the Z.

Welcome! You'll find there's alot of useful, and just as much completely useless nonsense going on here. We try to keep the balance but sometimes it's just too fun when you get rollin.
