Default Have had my Z for 2.5 years, just joined the board

Been a while since I've been a member of a messageboard, but looking through this one, it seems to be pretty spiffy. I drove by NissanZfan today and he was nice enough to tell me about this site after some chit chat.

I bought my 2005 350z brand new in late 2004, and have been driving it every day ever since! I absolutely love it, and don't care how many miles I've put on it. Currently it has around 62,000 miles on it, but hey, I've enjoyed every minute of driving it.

Previously, I had a 1990 300zx 2+2, pearl yellow. Also loved driving that.

I'm not too much into the tuning thing as I am just driving it. It's fun stock.

I love taking pictures of it, it's such a photogenic car. Some cars don't look that great in pictures, others look stunning, depending on the setting. To entertain you folks here on this great forum, and give back a little, I've put together a few of the good shots of my car in various scenery. They're absolutely huge pictures, so you'll have to scale them down if you want them to look crisp on your desktop, but they're especially suitable for people with huge monitors and high resolutions (like me).

Enjoy!



Anyone who lives in the Bay Area and wants to know where the pics were taken, I'd be more than happy to inform. Let me know if you like them, and I'll get out there and take some more. It's been a while since I've taken some time for photography, so I wouldn't mind getting out there for people who appreciate them.

Nice pictures. Welcome to the forum. With those many miles, I've bet you've seen a twisty road or two.

thanks... i've seen plenty of twisty roads, and they're much more fun than those straight lines people like to race on, imo.

yeah i'm not a big fan of buying a car to let it sit, unless it's some kind of collector's item or extremely limited edition special thingy. and a black base model is definitely NONE of those

it was taken at an abandoned naval base in alameda, ca. great place for pics of the Z in industrial-type areas.
