lol when I first saw a 350Z up close is when my dad brought one. I didn't even care about the car at that time, or about cars in general.

now its what I drive.

I remember exactly where I saw it, a black Z. I didn't like how the rear-end look, but love the front-end. 6 years later, I grew to love the back with the 06+ taillights and newer generation of cars some sports a rear-end like the Z, Pontiac's G6.

The first time I took my 350Z out for a drive, I literally had a boner for the first few miles.

When I saw the first one I liked everything about it but the door handles. Now I think that's one of the coolest things on the car, the distinctive door handles.

I was practical and said I didn't need it; bought an Altima. Three months later I bought an 03 Touring in (April 2003). Not many on the road then.

I first saw the Z in "the run" when it was before a movie I saw way back (I don't remember exactly when). I remember loving it immediately and wanted one immediately too. Unfortunately I was a poor college student at the time. I soooo love my Z.

The first time I saw it was when Road & Track did a full review on it. I remember saying to myself someday I will own one. I had a sucky job and was flat broke.

Now I have a Z...It's paid off... and I am STINKIN RICH BYTCH!

Been a big fan of the Z33 even before they started selling the 03's in 2002. When I saw pictures of the concept Z, I was totally diggin it. I was still in college and I used to go to the Nissan dealership when my brother went to get parts and I'd just sit inside and dream about owning one one day. I always thought it'd be too expensive for me to afford at the time and didn't even care to look at the price tag because I knew I was far from buying one.....five years later I got me a brand new one.....CASH

Walking down the street in Shinjuku Tokyo in 2002 and a daytona blue Z drives by: "What's that? I want one."

Well I can't say it in 10 words or less so there!

Fist time i saw one was in late 2002. I had just moved into a new place and the guy across the street had one. I never even knew about the 350Z as I was into sportbikes at the time.

He had a silverstone and the first time I saw it was the back and tail lights. I thought those tail lights look weird huh. My dad knew what car it was. kinda pissed me off he knew cuz he follows cars less than I do. I never even did go over and take a closer look at it the hole time he lived across the street from me and never gave it or any cars anymore thought because I wasn't looking to buy another car then anyway.

Fast foreward a couple years. Got a second job working (someplace) and one of the guys that works there (have to be vaugue here) had a black '04 (I think ) track model that was in and out of the shop often.

He was having a Stillen superchrger installed in it and it was there for a few months.

Well long story short I fell in love with the style in and out. I had to have one, so I got one. Then mod.
