Should I get a GT-R?

Well I pulled the trigger on the GT-R. I decided to get a new 2014 model as they can be had for pretty good deals and there were no 2014

Well I pulled the trigger on the GT-R. I decided to get a new 2014 model as they can be had for pretty good deals and there were no 2014 premium blue GT-R's in my area so I ended up dealing with dealer in Georgia.

Completely have the price worked out/out the door/etc... It is literally 14k cheaper than the dealer in Tustin was trying to sell me a 2015 premium for. Getting it for ~3k under invoice.

Looks like next weekend I am going to have a long road trip. Already ordered a plane ticket and I plan on flying out and driving back. Hopefully will have all the paperwork done tomorrow.

I am keeping my Z which will be my backup car or for when I am really in the mood to drive something with a clutch.

I am on my way back from Savannah, GA. I am currently in Longview, TX getting my 1000 miles inspection:

So here are some pics (where its dirty):






Windows error on screen under mcdonald's sign... made me LOL a bit so I took a pic:



And a pic just as I was hitting the first major break-in milestone alowing for >3500 RPM:



And the histogram of gas mileage going down horribly as following the break-ing procedure of high-sih RPM and only 1-4 gears:

DLSTR, ZKraken22 and Redglare like this.

I already bought the plane ticket. I am taking off Monday/Tuesday from work and flight is leaving on Saturday morning ariving Saturday in the early evening/late afternoon. Hope to get back in California by Monday but that might possibly run into Tuesday.

I did the Dallas -> Los Angeles drive in 19 hours on the way back in my Z
