LOL. You guys are going to hate me....first time I saw the car back in 03


UGLY!!!!!!!! The I saw the raodster later on. OMFG THAT IS UGLY.


Now I own a 2007 grand touring Roadster.....haha

But just to clarify, I absolutely love the look now that I'm now 19-20 years old anymore and I've developed a better taste for fine performance automobiles.

 

I really wanted one the first time I saw it. It was the first "affordable" car that I really loved and wished I could have. It was like someone designed a car for me. It took 3 years but I got one in July of 06.

 

due to my finances i got a brand new 03 nissan SER Spec V two years later saw an awesome deal on one just before the end of the season traded in the spec V and bought it for only 20k, when i first saw the Z i knew it was one of my dream cars that i wanted and now i have it, i can die in peace now...

 

Looks awesome. Nice ride! maybe someday I’ll be able to get one.

 

honestly wasn't a fan when it first came out and the door handles = WTF

Still wasn't 100% until the facelift!!

 

^^ not into it when it first came out and now i love it...

 

oh snap! gotta fap!

Then I bought one and was driving it home all like...fap fap fap stall (crap haven't driven a manual in a while and this one is tricky) ok back to fap fap fap.

 

I remember the first time seeing one, its very vivid in my mind. I was cruising down the I84 toward Boise and I see this RAD looking car... I didnt know what it was. It passed me. I had to immediatly catch up. I drove next to it drooling wondering who made it. It wasnt until a while later once I saw it again I found out it was the 350z. The first one I saw was solar orange. Hah, didn't really cross my mind at the time I would own one about 5 years later.

 

"looks much better in person. Those fenders and long hood ftw"

 

Since I'm an old-timer (59), I'll take you a bit further back...In '72, my last yr.
in the A.F., I was offered a ride by a fellow Sgt. When we arrived at the parking lot, & saw his 24OZ, well...I FELL IN LOVE!!! From THAT day on, I hoped to, some day, get one...36 yrs. later, the good Lord says, "well, son, here goes your dream"...'O4 Touring Coupe!!! 13k!!! $2O,5OO!!! $5O5.46/mo.!!! NO feathering!!! I'll be retiring on Aug., 'O9 from the Fed' Govm't, WITH MY DREAM RIDE ON MY CONDO'S PARKING SPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wish it were that easy for me still...now all i want is some car on the next level..The Z jsut isnt enough anymore...still love it though.

 

...is there a GT-R in your future, zerafian?..."MonZter" and "beaZt" fall short of describing THAT piece of automotive engineering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I saw it for the first time at the Atlanta Auto show and said

"Holy **** thats awesome, i want one"
Nissan Division sales rep was a few feet away, and heard me and my buddies talking about it, he acutally let us sit in it (it was on a platform) and open the hood, poke around ect.

he was a pretty cool guy, and doesnt afraid of anything

 

Driving a 91 300TT, I pulled up behind one and watched it turn left and though...."NO!!! It looks like a big roach!!! They ruined the Z!!!" Hmm...now I own 2 of them and am looking for a 3rd for a DD. I would have NEVER thought!

 

If I had the income I would buy a car in that price range,it would most likely be a viper though. Im far from having the money for that.

 

first thought...g35 is nicer. hehe funny how preferences change in a couple years .. now, whenever i look at my Z next to my brother's g35 coupe, all i can think is....my car is nicer .

 

"Is that the cheap version of the G35 Coupe?"

If I had only known.

 

First time I laid eyes on the 350Z, I thought it was a Porsche. It was August 2003.

Went home and searched Google for Nissan Z and saw the NISMO LeMans Sunset: "Now She's Hot!" was what I said as I printed off a pic and put it on the fridge. Had to have one!!

 

I was working at a car dealership when the Z came out. The first ones hit the lot at the Nissan dealer across the street, and my very first thought was:

"EWWWW. Nice, but they ruined it with the door handles."

 

I bought one the next week. "Nuff said.
