Default love this car

Had my car since september. Over 8k on her now. I've had a lot of the same problems you guys have had (rattle at startup, tranny replacement, feathering, a$$hole dealers, grease streaks). But all in all, I would never get rid of this thing. Nissan wasnt joking when they said lust then love (man i sound gay sometimes). Those of you that filed lemon law, buyback etc...you're missing out. High performance cars = high maintenance. You want to talk about reliability? Ask Lambo owners how many times there cars are in the shop.

I hope I dont get a strike saying this from a mod, but every morning on my way to work while driving the Z, my *** gets tight and d!ck gets hard when I mash the throttle. Especially now that the popcharger is in. Oh man instant orgasm. It's 1:49am right now. I have a 10:00am phone interview tomorrow for a possible job opportunity and I am about to take the Z out for a drive right now

I had a date tonight, I was paying more attention to my Z then her

I may need counseling soon

I've had mine for two weeks now -- still in the break-in period. Anyway, my buddy just got his s2000 out of storage last night and we went for a drive through some twisty, hilly backroads east of Cleveland.

At no point, did I violate the 4k break-in rule. All I can say is that, if the fun factor escalates even remotely proportionate to the number of revs showing on the tach, I am a VERY happy man.

Can't wait for this weekend (I expect to complete the break-in period.)

HAHA....YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I have had my Z for over a year now, it's an early '03 and I can remember the pre-break-in days. Thought the car had alot of push at 4,000....now I can't stay away from 4,000 - 6,600! All the power and go is there....you just wait!

Sometimes it just surprises me, I dont get a chance to push the car hard often or safely but it can REALLY move when you want it to, never fails to make me grin and think "Holy SH**!"

Wait until you put some serious mods in it. You will never get rid of it.

Yeah. I love this car too!

I was supposed to meet up with some friends but ran into traffic on the way there so I decided to take the back roads but once I got up to the twisty mountain roads I lost track of time. Now all I know is I have three pissed off friends and a Z with tons of bug guts I need to wash off.

Hmm... there's still some sun light left so I guess I'll go for another spin before I put it in the garage. hehe.

*btw, this car sure can DRIFT!!!! Woohoo!
