Default New 350Z in Atlanta

Guys,

I have been a lurker here for a little while and decided to post pics of my 2 week old Z.

I have wanted one of the 350's since they came out and finally decided to buy one for my birthday.

Here she is:



2008 Enthusiast.

Sorry about the shadow but I was in a hurry... I did NOT opt for the factory optional "Jigsaw" paint job (ROFLMAO!)

Here she is parked next to my 2002 Pathfinder LE which is my DD:



I have already picked up many tips from the folks on this forum (my Zaino arrived yesterday) and only have one question: What is the best product to use to get the dust off of the dash?

I have no plans to mod other than leather seats from Classic Soft Trim.

Well, thats about it, so thanks again for this great resource for information!

Nate

welcome, i used to live in lawrenceville..went to collins hill highschool, etc etc. well take care of her! nice color!

and for the interior i use 303 aerospace cleaner/protectant. pretty good stuff protects from UV rays and such and doesn't leave that armor-all type of feel to it, just leaves the same texture/look to it no shiny crap.

have you heard of IMPORTATLANTA.com? It's a big forum for import owners in GA, kinda like my350z but for a wide variety of cars and local too.

Thanks man! Good to hear from another local boy.

I will have to buy some 303 and give it a try. Since it also an "aerospace" protectant I will have to try it on my plane (V Tail Beech Bonanza) as well.

I hadn't heard of Import Atlanta but I will definately give it a look.

welcome to the site and congrats on the new Z. You say you don't plan on modding your car, but then again most of us started out that way. Import Atlanta is a forum to kill time on, but don't expect toget any good info on there. The forum is more childish, compared to this one.

I agree importatlanta is alittle childish, but you can catch up on the import scene in atl, and take a look at some mods people have done to there cars and such. but i do agree, IA has wayy to much drama.

Guys,

Thanks for all of the responses from the locals!

I would love to come to the next Forged open house. That dyno setup looks schweet.

Like I said before, I'm not really a modder. I am more of a historical preservationist. I tend to keep my vehicles for a long time, in top condition and original configuration. I think modding is cool, and am all for it, but at 43 its not my style....

If I want to go fast I get in my plane and fly there. I can cruise at 200mph and there are no coppers trying to fund the county/city out of my pocket.

I certainly appreciate the warm welcome from y'all!
