is it just my imagination or what

I couldn't make up my mind on color so I tried to get a custom paint job of all of the colors mixed together but they said 'poop brown' wasn't available. So i got black. I swear, if they make Poop Brown in MY2011, i am going to be so pissed.

I am lucky

I have only seen two other 370s on the road untill this day.

ok on francorchamps I saw about 5 but still I was the only platinum graphite there.

Soygen · 07-02-2010, 10:39 AM

I very, very rarely see 370s. I used to see a silver one on my way to my last job, but I started a new job 3 months ago and have only seen 1 red one on the road in those 3 months.

It's funny. Black Cherry will be "rare" enough as it is, since it's a custom color, but because of the nature of the thing, if you see one in dark lighting, or if it's dirty, you'll probably mistake it for metallic black at first glance.

In fact, very few people notice right away that mine isn't just black. It's like a delayed reaction. We'll be talking for a few minutes and I'll hear, "HEY, is there like a maroon undertone or something? Or a brown flake?"

It's what I love about the color.

I think you have to put your best foot forward, why do think most car shows and reviews have the Z in PG, oh yeah! that just happened!

LinPark · 07-02-2010, 10:57 AM

Come on, we all know Dark Cherry is the best. How many times have you come out of a store and found 6 gorgeous women trying to EAT YOUR CAR?!?!?!?

It's possible PG was the only color left at the dealerships they borrowed it from...

(PG was my first choice, so of course I'm jk!)

Nitex · 07-02-2010, 12:42 PM

I agree with PG being a fantastic color! i love it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else hate when people use the MB acronym... There's two possibilities for MB... WTF!!??!!

HA! There can be ONLY ONE!!! That's why I got Dark Cherry - plus the women all licking my car is always a nice thing too.

tjlazer · 07-02-2010, 03:55 PM

I agree, there are two other local Z Meet guys in MB Z's so its funny how common the color is!

I love blue so it was the natural choice for me. In fact I waited until I saw one in the local inventory before I decided to go down and "talk" As you know once you do that it's all over. It's kinda like smoking a cig for the first time. That "Ahhh" sensation hits and next thing you know you are craving more and then you are smoking a pack a day. ROFLMAO. (No I don't smoke)

I would much rather have the Athens Blue though. But the MB has grown on me.

I love blue so much, that I decided to not get the Nismo Z as I really wanted to, and to just do the conversion slowly myself! Can you imagine a Blue Nismo Z?

Blue FTMFW!

When I first saw the blue it was in the showroom under those bright flouresecent lights, and it looked terrible, and with the Persimmon interior looked epic ghey. But I decided after seeing so many picture here that it couldn't be that bad so I decided to buy it. When they got it outside and under the sunlight the color looked like pure sex. As far as I'm concered the color is amazing and the persimmon goes well with it.

If you want "rare", there's only one my friend!
