Default Hey, from North Carolina

I've been lurking here and reading as much as I could since I bought my new 350Z almost 2 weeks ago. We've been wanting a red GT roadster for a few years now. Just for fun I checked dealer inventory online and they had exactly the right one. Haggled a good deal so we drove it home.

I'm 48, been married almost 27 years, and my daughter just moved into an apartment accross town near the college she's attending. Time for mid-life crisis.

I've noticed it can be a tough crowd here so I'll keep my flame suit on and try to learn as much as I can.

Wilmington here. I think most everyone is nice. Just happens that the smart azzes always pipe up first.

Car looks sharp!

MC - your car is badass too. I have not seen the nismo in person. Besides the plaque, is anything different on the interior?

No. It was at East Charlotte Nissan on Independence. They were really good to work with during the purchase but I'm not sure how their service dept is. Lake Norman seems to have a nice set up and it's close, but I haven't heard anything about how they are either. I do most maintenance myself, but if I need any warranty work done I guess it'll go back to the dealership that I bought it from.

So, does the daughter get to drive the new car? She must think that is pretty cool. Congrats on the luck of finding what you wanted close by.
