Cool My new Black touring in Portland OR

Well I picked up this amazing car on 9-11 (one day before my birthday!!) All I can say that it has exceeded all my expectations. I was driving a 99 Audi A4 for the last few years and was worried about the interior. I was looking around waiting for the nav door to fall in my lap but it never happened. This car rocks. I'm probably the only person that thinks the nav door isn't that bad.

On my way home from the dealer a late model neon was riding my butt revving his engine. As soon as we hit the freeway he took off as fast as he could. I really wish I could magically put 1250 miles on the engine so I don't have to see the back of too many more neons.

For all those people still waiting don't give up hope. You need to prep yourself for third gear.. ooooh baby its nice..

I did notice that the ride was a bit stiff on my way to work this morning. I-205 can be a little bumpy but all my worries went away as soon as I turned a sharp corner. The car has zero roll.

** Note to Nissan **
You might want to add an "oh sh*^t bar" on the passenger side in future models. I took a few fast corners and watched my friend franticly search for things to hold onto.

Congratulations!!! and Happy Birthday!!!

The car looks great. I like that color combo. The black is really growing on me.

I can totally understand your neon issue. I know that a similar situation for me will be a true test of my will power.

Have fun! Thanks for the pictures.

Great color combo - I also think the NAV door is OK - I really won't be using it anyway.

I also love that color combo...The tan seats look like it belongs in a 355 or 360 modena.........They should offer the tan "orange" seats in all of the cars, the red line with tan would also be really sweet.

Black and tan would sure be hard to beat if I choose to get a 350z.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

That car looks great! Rumor has it my silverstone/touring is sitting in the Portland port as well! Maybe you can have a word with them for me?

Enjoy the ride!

Great minds must think alike, those are my colors too. I have 1100 miles on my "Black Beauty" so those Neons better look out LOL
