Hello everyone. I just found this site and signed up. I have liked the 350Z since it came out. I had been waiting for prices to get low enough to buy one, and that happend last spring. I bought a red 2003 Touring in March. I wanted black, but used Zs are few and far between on the lots in Fargo, ND. Last month, a black 2003 Performance model showed up at the local Nissan lot. It had the same mileage as my red Touring. I didn't care one way or the other about the leather heated seats and Bose stereo in the red one and the black one has a $1,700 Alpine stereo, so I went to the dealership and traded even for the Super Black Z. As part of the deal, they paid the license fees and I had them include a set of new Dunlop WinterSport M3 tires. I plan to drive the car all winter. When the snow is too deep I'll drive my '71 Chev pickup until the streets are plowed. Last year I drove a Porsche 944 all winter with Blizzaks and no problems. I love the black color of my new Z, plus it's lowered and has tinted windows and a charcoal interior, which I like much better than the gray leather in the red car. I have been restoring a 1958 DeSoto Firesweep two-door hardtop for the past two years and I am now at the point of putting everything back together. I have a 1965 Dodge Polara two-door hardtop that my folks bought new. I restored that a couple of years ago. My daily driver for the past 10 years before I got the Porsche last year was my 1971 Chev Super Cheyenne pickup. My wife drives a Trailblazer. I have had many old cars over the years and a few sports cars. In 1969 I bought a '59 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. I have had a '76 MG Midget, an Opel GT, the Porsche 944 and now the two 350Zs. I love cars and my wife gave up on trying to stop my addiction many years ago.

 

Welcome aboard !! congrats on your new purchase, lets see some pics, and some of the other cars.

 

Welcome! Post up some pictures of those cars, .

 

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. I was once stationed in Minot AFB, ND. The weather must be getting pretty chilly up there. As stated above, post some pix when you can.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome! Sounds like you have lots of experience. Any chance of some pics of the Z in N. Dakota scenery? Wouldn't mind seeing that DeSoto either.

 

She sounds like a wise woman, or just plain gave up. Enjoy Z number 2.

 

Welcome =)
