Smile 2006 MB 350z Base

Hey Guys,

I recently posted about two of the cars I was looking at, and thanks for all the advice btw. I bought the MB 2006 350z, instead of the 2003 Daytona Blue Track. I was speechless last Thursday when the car was delivered to my house. It was delivered becasue I do not know how to drive manual yet, and my brother is away at Penn State (and he is the only other person in my family who knows manual).

The car is in very good condition. I paid 23,000 total for it. It is a 2006 as I said before and it only has 18,000 miles on it which I am happy about. Also I wanted to create a thread to just let the my350z community that I will be on these boards more and more now.

I will post pictures once the weather gets nicer (we just had a snow storm the day after my car was delivered to my house ). But anyway I can't be happier with the car I chose. I really dont want to say this as on these boards because I will be looked down upon and probably sterotyped to hell, but I am 17 years old. As all of you are wondering I put 10,000 dollars down on the car (which I worked for), and my father paid the rest. As I will start saving up again to pay him that money back, I will be trying to get some mods to make me love this car even more.

To learn manual before my brother comes home from college I am getting a professional driving instructor to instuct me for 2 hours tommarow.

Hope to become more active on these boards and get to know some good people.

(Pictures will come Next weekend, of my 2006 MB 350z and my brothers 2001.5 Nogaro Blue Audi S4 if anyone is interested.)

Thanks alot guys.

1)Take the parking brake off and 2) Let the clutch out slowly.

It will all be natural in a couple of days. Congratulations!
