New to new cars!

muzik212 · 04-26-2012, 11:54 AM

Hey guys, FNG here! I just bought my first modern sports car 2009 370z. I love this car! I have been a muscle car purist for the last 20 years. Always had Xterra or Altima as the every day war wagon, but always loved my classics for pleasure cruising.

1 month ago I was driving my 69 mach1 up 9W and a silver 09 Z flew by in the hammer lane. It instantly had my attention, we paired up about a mile ahead as we made our way up the road. We both stopped just short of the bear mountain bridge and talked shop for a while. Getting to see the car up close was love at first glance.

2 weeks after that I tracked down a stock Monterrey Blue 09 touring model with 7,470 miles and jumped on it. I making some of my first mods shortly, adding a motordyne E370 (love the sound) and Stillen CAI. I also have a feeling my interior has a lot of carbon fiber in its future!

ShinyBlueZ · 04-26-2012, 12:53 PM
