Default Been dreaming of it since 2003, finally got it!
Well, I turned 60 and had to do it... Is that a second late mid life crisis? I have been looking at the Le Mans Sunset Z for years, driving a Murano all along( I still love that car, the best), and the guys at Nissan had to discontinue the color just as I finally made up my mind! So I got the new 2007 Solar Orange Enthusiast, and am still getting used to it. Hot color, with wonderful gold flakes shimmering in the sun. I have taken hundreds of pictures already, and started posting the best on my new dedicated web site: www.solar350z.com
I will keep posting pictures. Check it out!

Congrats bud. Beautiful car, man, and great pictures! Also, don't worry about your age. You aren't old until you start saying that you're "60 years young"

The more I see that color the more I like it. Pictures don't really do that color justice. Congratz.

Congratulations - nice car, but I say bah to the whole midlife crisis thing. Many people want a sports car throughout their life, but have to wait until they're older before they can responsibly purchase one on their own.

Better late than never and what better way to say congratulations to yourself for making it through this crazy world for 60 years!

looks great, now get yourself a stub antennae and a Zee bracket if you plan on installing the front license plate.

60? Definitely your mid-life crises. If you're brave enough to buy the solar orange, you will live to 120. That color really is growing on me. It is so much better in real life. It has flash, but the tone and metallic makes it very subtle.

Congratulations and enjoy. You will only regret having waited since '03.
