Thanks man! I'm so happy to get out of my '97 honda and actually be able to merge correctly! Haha. In all seriousness, I will always love my accord. It's been through so much with me and it always felt like it just wanted to keep going. I'll miss her :/
In other news... It sure is hard to think about much else with that VQ35DE roaring in the background

Every single service record stapled in the Service Record booklet. It was tucked inside the folio and verified the stories that I got from the Nissan dealership I bought it at. The one previous owner was obscenely meticulous.

I traded my boosted 2000 si to someone on craigslist, the ad said 04 base model lowered on some springs, turned out to be 05 non hr lowered on stance coils
They never mentioned the motor was about to die... it died 8 days after I got it
replaced motor within 2 weeks

Just found an oil change sticker on the door that I never noticed. It says "Next Service Due" at 10/29/06 at 73,000 miles. I purchased the car a couple months ago at 88,000 miles, SO that means approximately only 15k miles were put on the car in the last five years! Definately surprised me...

^^Wait, that doesnt make sense because then 73k miles were put on the car in 2 years, since its an 04...So I now am guessing its from 2010, which is pretty average then.

Other then all the manuals and paperwork. My 06 GT Bought in 2012 came with new tires and nothing else that I've found yet. My old Porsche Boxster S came with a 7 year old unopened tissue box in the glove box though lol..

I think I may win this.
I bought my Z as a shell, agreed on a price for the shell and when I went to go pick it up the guy decided he wanted to get rid of all the extra stuff he had laying around for it.
He throw in, without changing our originally agreed on price:
A good 6sp tranny
A set of 18x8.5/9.5 Nismo LMGT4
a full turbo back custom built dual 3in exhaust
Autometer water temp. gauge
Oil cooler
an extra drivers fender
I sold the trans and the LMGT4s and now I am only $800 into my complete 350z minus motor, trans and wheels.

I actually found $10 stashed in the owners manual. The Z is paying for itself already. Woot! I actually just left it there in case I never needed it someday haha
