Enjoy it?

There's also another way to tell when you're done modding...when your wallet is completely empty

I think so, speaking for myself. I have been very patient waiting for my 2012 370z (still waiting for Vin#). My salesman and another guy that works at the dealership i'm getting my 370z from really tried to convince me to just get a 2011, checked their 370z inventory numbers at auto trader's website and they have 17 sitting on the lot, no 2012's of course. With the changes that have been made to the 2012, i am so glad i waited. My mods will be K&N drop ins, Tanabe cbe, Tanabe y-pipe ( i chose Tanabe after months of researching cbe's), and GTR Button (here at home waiting for installation). I was going to go with Tanabe sway bars too but the 2012 model is supposed to have a more refined suspension, as one of the changes for next years model, i think it's the same changes that Nissan made on the 2011 nissan GT Edition in Europe.

Partially true. It's when your wallet is completely empty and your credit lines are all maxxed, and the mob is threatening to "break your fricken' legs!"
