Hello from the Pacific N.W.

dkelly · 09-10-2011, 03:16 PM

Greetings ALL. Fairly new owner and fairly new to 370Z.com. July5th was my purchase date. After being with one car for a year it was time. The wife wanted to go look at the new Nissan Juke. While she was doing the paperwork I made the mistake and took a wander outside. I first fell for the Datsun Z in 1974 walking home from school. I tried to tell my father I saw a Ferrari on a car lot since it was a car I hadnt seen before and was actually a right hand drive with the side mirrors on the fenders. Of course he drove me down to see it again and I got educated. Over the years with the body styles and performance changes I feel this all came together with me on the lot the day after the 4th of July. I purchased new the 2011 Sport Tour Brill Silver. My one condition was the 20" Niches that were on a roadster so if I could have the swap it would be a go. Who's to argue with a guy wanting two cars! Well after a short negotiation we drove off with two! I can say after owning more than 20 cars in my life from Camaros to Vettes this is the total package! Since the purchase I tinted the windows to 20%, dropped in the Typhoons and currently deciding on Borla vs AAM Exhaust. Really enjoy the lower sound on those two. I really enjoy the site and all the great cars, diys, and comments. Thanks, DK

Welcome and congrats on the cars. Get some pics up ASAP.

Thank you! Just got some under the Intro. 370Z DK

Hello and congrats.

ZCarMan · 09-10-2011, 08:26 PM

Congratulations and welcome! I've seen a few couples go with a Juke and a 370Z. You'll be happy with the AAM exhaust if you're looking for the lower rumble. I was the same way about the 240Z myself when growing up. Took a while to get here but I now have my Z and the Wife has her Frontier.

Awesome to hear on the AAM THANKS, DK

chanh55 · 09-11-2011, 06:41 AM

ZCarMan · 09-11-2011, 07:39 AM

I forgot to mention I also have AAM HFCs so that adds a bit as well.

dkelly · 09-11-2011, 08:46 AM

dkelly · 09-11-2011, 08:47 AM

That is really what I am leaning to. Awesome sound I am looking for from their products.
