Default My New 04 Touring

Well I just got my new car today. I am 18 and have owned a 95 Acura Integra LS and then sold that and bought a 98 Acura Integra GSR. I then sold it to get this 350z. I freaking love it. It handles alot better and is quicker. I have not broken in the car yet so I am driving it real nice and easy. I picked the car up with 6 miles yesterday and now there is 110 miles. only 1390 to go . haha anyways here are some pics.. tell me what u guys think. Its the Liquid Aluminum color.

Nice car. Oh, btw, the break in is only 1200 miles so you only have 1,090 to go before you can open her up. Be careful and congrats!

beautiful color, and congrats. If he is working his a$$ off to pay for the Z, then the house is definitely not his.

Yea, I'm not familiar with Allen, Tx but I've seen houses like that in the 300k range out there. That was a few years ago (company wanted me to relocate) so it might be a little more now.

yes, this will save you future headaches with paintchips. I can barely see mine at 1 foot away. If you can, schedule for clear bra asap and hold off on driving until its protected. I had to wait 1 1/2 weeks and it was torture, but ive got no imperfections under the bra.

Yeah, I like the house in the last pic! Can you post more shots of the house...possibly one from the side and rear too?? You don't see many brick-faced homes in CA, so I always get excited.

The car looks great through. I don't think I've seen a liquid alu one yet (aside from photos). BTW, what are you paying for insurance out there? I assume you're on your parent's plan, which is the only affordable way to go if you're 18, but I'm curious... When I was 18, my coverage was on my parents plan.

Even in the relatively inexpensive Sacramento/central valley area of CA, a house like that would cost well into the $600k's ...assuming its about 2400sqft-2700sqft. Look at that lot size!

I'd still be living at home too if my dad had a place like that! I'd have a pair of matching Z06's though...lol

Nice rare color there. Enjoy your Z. I still have about 850 miles left on my break-in. Man...its tough! Go E-Zzz on her. GratZ

Word of advice. Get a clear bra on your car asap. If I could go back in time that would be one of the first things I would have done.
