Still, it's been a joy since that time and even though I live in Colorado, it gets driven almost every week. Plenty of mods, and the Z reflects my taste and preferences in cars:

I just hit year 7... I'm hoping I'll get more use out of it this year.

I bought my 350z in September 2003. Unfortunately, I will need to retire the car (rusting undercarriage and a knocking engine). It's a daily driver for 150k miles.
