Default Just got my ZR today

Well after serious car shopping today. I splurged and purchased a 05 ZR Roadster Touring 6Spd with all options including Nav and 18' wheels and the 6 year/84000 mile extended warranty. It was by far the best purchasing experience I have ever had.

I purchased the vehicle at Marzolf Nissan in Pueblo, CO. They always say smaller dealers are the best, well this one far exceeded any dealer I have ever been at. Wasn't even planning on buying one today, but I couldn't pass up 3K off MSRP.

I traded my 03 Base model in and I am pulling all the mods off including the Track wheels on Monday. I got $21K on the trade which is awesome considering it was a Base model.

I can't believe the ride is much more smoother than my 03 model. The clutch also feels softer. Haven't drove with the top down (only during the test drive) due to the cold wetaher up here. Love those butt warmers though,

So look for a bunch of stuff for sale, cargo net, seatback organizer (i have two now), Track Wheels, JWT popcharger, Pioneer AVIC-N1, focal midrange speakers, RF amps, Viper 690 2-way alarm, ect.

My first and probably only mod was the S-2000 antenna. I might get the Nismo exhaust later.

Getting the full clear bra put on Monday.

I would put better pics but this site is kinda cheap on bandwith,

Thanks all, I really wanted a PPW with the blue top, but they would not budge at all if they had to order.

I actually wanted to buy a Infiniti G35 6spd, however, the loser salesman at the Inifiniti dealership would not even let me test drive the auto's, not even the G35 sedans. To bad for him, he lost out big time!

Well I have spent the entire day detailing the Z. Started off by:

Washing with Dawn
Claybarred with Zaino Z-7, then washed again with Z-7. Dried!
Then Z-6.
First coat of Z-5 (1 more coat then I will do Z-2 tomorrow)
Z-6 in between coats.
Cleaned the entire interior with 303 protectant.
Used Z-16 on the tires and Z-5 on the wheels.

Awaiting Zaino Z-9, Z-10, Z-12 (leather and glass polish), and 303 top cleaner.

Red looks absolutely gorgeous when Zainoed.

I would take some pics outside but its really windy and I want to put additional coats on.

I haven't had the chance to drive it with the top down yet. Going to get the full clear bra put on tomorrow so I have to be careful not to get any rock chips. I love this Car!

Love that shiny A$$! Pictures are way better but this site has cheap bandwith so I had to resize.

Nice ride, just finished up detailing, put the last coat of Z-5, and will follow up tomorrow with the Z-2 after I get my clear bra put on.

How do you get your pics so big, I always have to resize mine to 75000 KB?

Finally got to drive with the top down, but forgot to post pics, LOL!

Back in the garage suppose to snow the next 4 days,

I really hate this resizing thing, makes the pics look cheezy,

If you want to post them bigger, you will have to upload them to a web server somewhere and use the IMG tag with a link to the picture. However, remember that big pictures also screw up the screen when we are reading posts. What I do sometimes is post a small pic and enclose the IMG tag with an HTTP tag with a link to the larger picture, so whoever chooses can click on the small pic and get to the larger one. All these pics are hosted on my own website for bandwidth reasons.
