Default My Z has been sold, here it is from start to finish...it's been fun!

I moved to NYC a little over a year ago and haven't needed a car. I have been pretty quite on the forums, but still lurking. :thumb up: Figured i'd give one last post and just show it's transition.

Miss the car so much!

This was the cars.com picture, it was an older guys car and he couldn't handle the clutch. So his son sold it, I got in '07 and it was an '05 w/ less than 12,000 miles.

It's final look before being sold...it got keyed a while before and insurance paid for a paint job. So car fax showed it was in an accident because of that...sold it for $11k. But I was happy with the direction I went with my Z and who knows what I'll end up with when I live somewhere that calls for a car.

This was an awesome community and happy to have been part of it!

I remember when you first posted your meaty setup with the works, it looked amazing from the rear. Will be remembered and missed!

Bummer man! But I wish I had the ***** to try something new like you are doing. Seems like suburbia has its claws into me pretty deep, though.

Thanks Esser, I appreciate it!

Saywat? NYC replaced it lol. Decided to pack up and move to try something new, the only thing I left in Fl was my Z

kno, I really hope so too. My biggest fear is some douche bought it and ruins it...my father sold it, so no idea who has it.

sry110, yea man. Just had to try something new while I'm still young enough with no kids.

Thanks for all the nice words guys, the Z has a great community.

Beautiful car bro. It was what influenced me to get the bottom line sides long ago.

Your Z was clean and tastefully done. Sucks to hear you parted ways with it, but I can understand how priorities change. Good luck in NYC!
