11 years ago today I brought my 350Z home(a somewhat wordy tribute with pics)

Ha! It really was the highlight of that day. And me with an almost TOTAL lack of social media skills completely forgot to get a selfie with you Mic. But I DO have a pic of Robs dog who SAW us talking so it will have to do....it's possible that if you zoom in 5000X you might be able to see your reflection in his eyes.

hey looks great! i can definately appreciate the stretch of time you've owned the car and all the simple things you've done. Some people own the car for a year or 2 and do the wildest thing to the Z, rendering it almost worthless for the next buyer. Also that spoiler looks very similar to EVO-R Blitz spoiler which is somewhat difficult to get a hold of also. I owned my Z for about 5 years before I put wheels on it and I remember that feeling, it was a game changer!
I also have the invida gemini exhaust and love it. Quiet when cruising but opens up to a nice VQ tone at higher RPMs. I paired it with reasonated test pipes for a tad bit louder sound. PERFECT!

Next time you're there, ask Rob to throw him a box.... it's hysterical!

My Z turns 16 today...damn time flies. The only thing I've added since the above post is a shorty antennae and some miles.
I just turned over 83k and this car STILL makes me happy as hell. When I see it in my garage...when I take it for a drive...when I floor it and run it up through the gears "a quarter mile at a time" at the stoplights near my house on early morning donut runs...it never fails to put a smile on my face. It's still my wife and I's "date car" when we leave our son home playing video games and just go for a drive. My son is 15 1/2 now and I just started teaching him to drive....on our automatic Nissan Rogue of course...we'll get the basics down and his drivers permit and THEN he can learn stick on my Honda Civic...ha ha. He'll get to drive this car someday...but not yet....not yet. ha ha
I washed and detailed it this morning and here it is just sitting there and lookin all bad ***. LOVE IT. I know all you long term owners know what I'm talking about.
Taking it on a long drive later when it cools down. Like Rob from the Z Car Garage says......LONG LIVE THE Z!
