Hi all, First chance to get here. I've been working all day in the garage, want to get the Z inside. Three car garage but could barely get two in and now have three cars. Had to get a "mini" storage half the size of my garage.

Bought the '06 Grand touring Dec. 27. I paid $600 over the $34k invoice and the total came to $200 over the MSRP of $38.2. California stuff adds up. Any time I can get a begin the year car for close to the MSRP OTD I feel OK with the deal. Last August I paid MSRP + T&L for a "05 Toyota (I said the T-word) Avalon Limited but that was the wife's and she wasn't going to wait.

I was reading some threads about adding 100HP was good and how the crash was bad. Hmmm Maybe if he had another 100HP he could have jumped the ravine????

Soooooo, I love this car. Even the Nissan sales people are amased when they see the rear wheels. Geez, I can't wait to buy new tires in 30k miles. :0~~ Has anyone had problems with the Bridgestones in rain or wet conditions? I only have 300 miles on the car and haven't really pushed it around corners ... yet. Well maybe a few times.

I have been looking at the add ons. I think it already has cold air induction and the exhaust sounds OK. Everything else seems to make it illegal in CA.

Well it's bed time here. That's my story and I'm stuck with it.

 

welcome

 

Congratulations and welcome. Nice Christmas gift.

 

well the stock sh!tenzas shoulb be ok for summer driving, but we are in so cal so you should be ok but you can find better tires and i highly doubt youll get 30k out of the tires.

btw congrats on the new car.

 

I noticed some changes on the stock tires from last year, it looks like they changed the sidewall. Might try them out for yourself..
