around this forum while I was waiting for my dream car to come in. Been dreaming since the 350's came out. My wife and I have been a two car Nissan family for over 10 years. My wife has owned a sentra, altima, and now a Juke. I have had 3 4x4 frontiers and currently have a black 2007 frontier which I am keeping to drive in the winter. About a month ago I pulled the trigger and ordered a black 370Z auto (wife made me get an auto since she can't drive stick, just in case she might need to drive it...lol like that's ever going to happen). I had to wait over two weeks for them to get it in from another dealer because they had it on display inside a cosino. Anyway the best part of my day now is driving to and from work. Here is a pic of our 3 black Nissans in the driveway. We love our black nissans!!! My wife keeps bringing up all the times she let me drive the Juke this past year, lol.

Welcome officially to the forum and congratulations on the Z. Use those paddle shifters, you'll have fun shifting them too!

Thank you. I haven't used the paddles much yet, they seem strange to me. Have tried the shifter manually. I just broke over 500 miles and yesterday I got on the interstate at about half trottle and the exceleration scared the bajesus out of me. My pedal has yet to touch the floor. I had a mustang 5.0 in the late 1980's and a GSXR750 before I got married, so I'm no stranger to muscle or speed, but dang this car has a set and it's sticky. The cornering is amazing.

Welcome! the Juke is a sleeper, I think its a fun crossover that a lot of people seem to judge without driving it, congrats on the Z!

Thanks. My wifes Juke is a bit of a sleeper, the turbo will sneak up and surprise you, but my Z would give her little station wagon a spanking. Thing is when my Z is taking it's winter nap in the garage, her Juke will be plowing thru snow.

We like to refer to it as our "black nissan fleet" lol. Dang that sounds snobby, sorry about that. I'm sure our neighbors thought we were really show ponies when we took that pic Easter sunday.
