What will you do first...

pagefaulted · 02-26-2009, 09:38 PM

I'm waiting for what seems like an eternity BUT I'm wondering what I'll do first when I get my beautiful 370z.

I'm thinking I'll go for a drive to the mountains. Play with the controls and radio and power windows. I'm going from a '79 rx-7 to a '09 370z. Its hard to imagine having more than two FM presets or no gas smell if I take a hard turn or that fancy 6th gear people keep talking about. No more adjusting points! Yeaaaa! Think of the wonders that 30 years of auto technology has achieved. I've heard rumors that new cars don't need a choke. Can this wonder of tech be true?

What will you do when you get your car? (or what DID you do if you already have your 370z)

Drive from the dealer still wrapped in plastic...
- go directly to my detailer
- from detailer, go directly to get Ventureshield.

^lol

Lets see....first thing I did was....drive it home for a few hours because I had a couple beers in me from before I picked it up. Then after I was good, went out for a spin to enjoy it

Drove and drove and drove...

As far as first things to mod, plan on HFC and intake first.

Window tint, powdercoat wheels, Blue bat overlays

What will I do first, Pick it up drive it till midnight then go home and get drunk probably... no wait. Pick it up go for a drive till 5pm then take pictures get gas and finally go on Dashpoint. Maybe some alcohol.

shumby · 02-27-2009, 12:06 AM

have sex with the old lady in it. man that was an easy question. Did that with every car I bought so far. Even when I get new companytrucks.

^^^ That's one good way to break it in.

Which camp are you in though? Those that believe it should be broken in easy and not pushed hard or those that say ride it hard like you normally do.

shumby · 02-27-2009, 12:13 AM

Replace base stereo with alpine 6.5s, install KENWOOD DNX5120 GPS/IPOD unit. Then, drive over to my dads place, let him test drive it, drive over to my girlfriend's place, let her RIDE in it. Next Day, get windows tinted and drive it around SD some more!
