Default New Owner, Austin TX - 06 touring

Hey everyone! I just picked up my slightly used 06 silverstone touring coupe yesterday!! Sofar I'm loving it!! I'm in Austin, TX, so hopefully I'll get to meet some of the locals! My previous car is (was) an 02 WRX (for sale if anyone's interested!), so the Z is quite an upgrade. Not quite as toss-able, but gobs more power. Anyways, I know ya'll are picture hungry, so here are some pics!









(car's in the background are my friends' 07 cooper S, Evo, and WRX)

And my previous car:



And just for formal introductions, I am Rodney, 28, no longer single.... haha

Now be nice about your Z, it's "pre-loved", not used. CongratZ she's looking good. How many miles has she covered?

Thanks everyone! I feel so loved already! haha

jestasia, you're funny! Let's just say I have the sexy blue eyes thing going on

marques1, I'll keep an eye out for you. Does Austin have a strong Z club? I'd like to meet some locals.

ponly killer, yep, identical, except I have the bling leather interior

bronzee, it has 27k miles on it, but seems to be in great shape...I can't stop driving it!

As far as mods go, I am going to stick with simple, non-power mods for now. The car has enough power to keep me satisfied. So stuff like tint, stereo, etc. comes first. Gotta save my money so I can pay this thing off by the end of the year.

Thanks again everyone!

That's what I thought initially, but wish I had just saved my money and bought a turbo or supercharger.

The reason they charged is several things. You get benefits like discounts at vendors. You get a free membership to Nissan Sport Magazine. You get to attend all of the events. For that price, the benefits out weight the costs.
