Default Proud new owner of a 350z GT Roadster

Finally took the dive today. I took delivery on a Carbon Silver 2007 350z GT Roadster with burnt orange seats. I couldn't be happier with the car, which is probably why I am still up at 3am.

It has been a long time coming. I fell in love with this car as I entered college. All those sleepless nights programming has finally paid off. Let this be a lesson to all those still in college thinking about buying a new Z. WORK HARD! It will be completely worth it.

Anyways, I know this thread is worthless without pictures so i'll take some after work tomorrow and post them.

Did I mention I've been smiling like a retard since I got the car?

CongratZ to you. It took me a while to pull the trigger also and I'm still grinning 3 years later!

Enjoy.

Yes, Carbon Silver is darker than silverstone. As for modifications, possibly the greddy VQ35HR twin turbo kit in a few years when 300hp doesn't feel fast anymore.

Can I use leather care products for wallets on the seats as well? I have some old stuff from Coach but the bottle is tiny.

Those seats are horrible. You should sell them to me.

I fell in love with network security my last semester of college so I ended up getting a network security analyst job. Its mostly code auditing. The beauty of the job is that I get some time for myself to develop whatever I want. Nobody likes to read other people's code for 8 hours a day.

Gotta love those B Trees Congrads on the CS degree btw.
