Glad to see the standard 18"ers are back to looking nice and shiny and not as dark as some shots had shown them. Hope these are the stock wheels.

Default This... IS Beautiful...

Very satisfied that I ordered this color... light brownish smoke tinted windows... BAM - kick it up a notch!

*drooling*

BTW - when you see the bembo brakes on all the cars - that's the color you should think of when you think Sunset LeMans.

That's normal for California -- you should see the "yard" in back. Usually you either you have a pool or a yard; no room for both!

But the car looks good in the driveway!

I live right across the street.

The owner works at Nissan HQ in Torrance or Gardena (can't quite remember which city it's in - I went to North High, in Torrance, if anyone knows the area).

He's in Marketting, and the Z is his program.

He also drove the Daytona Blue Track model a few days earlier. I like that color much more (sorry, no pics as it was getting dark when I talked to the owner).

He fired up the engine ... great sound. Both were 6 speeds. I think the Track model even had NAV.

The Daytona Blue was there just Wednesday night. The Sunset was there Thursday thru Sunday.

He said Nissan may do a convertible, too.

<edit to add more stuff>
We also talked about the Car & Driver online review, too. Expect it back tomorrow (July 3rd). That's Nissan press embargo for reviews of the Z. He said someone hacked into C&D's website and published the article.

DAMN! That is one bad-*** Honda Passport. But what's that smoke coming out the tailpipe???

I hear filling the crankcase with gear oil fixes the problem...
