Hello people of the forum, I would just like to introduce myself as a new owner of a 350z and member of this forum. My name is Garrett Chapman, I'm 15 years old,and from Houston, Texas. I just got my 2003 350z a few weeks ago and decided I might as well join the forums. I guess this is my official hello, feel free to tell me if i'm doing anything wrong in this post as i'm still learning.

doing everything wrong so far

garrettchapman

Thank Advanz33 I look forward to my time on the forums and Run I assume you are referring to my age? I might be 15 but I had to prove to my parents I could handle the car. I kept my grades up, which might not seem like a big deal but since I go to an early college and have to balance college courses with highschool courses it was difficult. On top of that i'm also an eagle scout.

i will give ya some free advice/spoon feeding... but just because i have a cold beer in front of me.

don't be cocky, don't rice out the car, don't dugan it, and don't try to justify why or how you got the car.... don't buy parts off ebay, do it right or don't do it at all

garrettchapman

The car is a pretty high mileage car at 180k and my parents didn't pay a dime, I'm a lifeguard who worked all summer and when summer was almost over I had 4500 saved up. I then took a loan from my sister for 1000 and got the car for 5500.

GC,
Welcome to My350Z!
I will balance things and say search before you ask for help, drive carefully and never use your real name as your screen name.
Good luck and enjoy your Z!

Btw, pics of your car so folk don't take you for a troll.

Thanks jhc and thankfully this isn't my first forum that I have actively used so I have all the general forum rules down.
