Default My new 06 Roadster

Well, I am about 2 weeks in with my new 2006 Metallic Black 350Z Roadster. I absolutely love it. My dad had a Datsun 280zx 2+2 with Turbo when I was a teen, and that car was good to me. I've always wanted a new one, and I finally have it. My (new) better half convinced me that after having a slew of practical cars when I was married (2 altimas and a hyundai), it was time to enjoy my life ... part of why i divorced the Ex

It's a lease, so I'm not modifying it in any way. I really didnt buy it to burn up the streets, i just enjoy the car. It's hot! I do try to keep it clean, though I made the mistake of taking it to a car-wash joint that did a bad job. I'll have to work on cleaning it myself. I havent washed my own car in about 20 years! My dad is a Vette enthusiast and swore he'd teach me the right way to clean my new ride

Only thing I hate about it is the fact there's no passenger airbag shutoff in it, and I have to get one. I have a 6 year old and he cant ride in it because of that. Nissan said I could call the NHTSA and get it myself, but other higher end cars have them already installed. I'd say pretty poor on Nissan's part. Hell, even my Girl's old Miata had a switch in it.

Here she is ... the car, and the girl

Thanks! The picture doesn't really show her off well (the girlfriend or the car, in this case). I'm going to take some new pictures of her (the car) to put up. AS for the little lady, well, those new pictures are for me only
