I picked up my 03 Z about a month ago. Funny thing is I wasn't really into the Z until I bought her.

For the past couple of years I really wanted a 98 240sx. Then it changed to an Evo IX, and damn, I couldn't afford it. I was gonna settle for an evo VIII, but I wanted to see my other options: rx7, s2k, blah blah blah. The Z was toward the bottom of the list.

I had a meeting with the Fleet manager at Mitsubishi in Costa Mesta, but I wanted to keep my options open. For some reason, I went to the Nissan right next to it, and haggled with the buddies at Nissan at an 03 touring ed. Z. One of the salesman made me drive it. As soon as I got sat inside and revved the engine, the idea of getting an Evo quickly vanished and the only thing I could think about was owning this Z.

After about six grueling hours of offers and paperwork, I was on my way home with my Z, Umi, which means ocean in Japanese (a strictly made Japanese car deserves a Japanese name). Now keep in mind, my friends all thought I was coming home with a completely different car, hell some of them didn't even know I was getting one that day.

I get to my friend's house, and my friends **** a brick. They couldn't believe it. This cute girl that I know runs out screaming with her ***** all jiggling in the air to hug me tight.

That's when I thought to myself...yeah I totally made the right decision.




Cons after getting the Z
-GAS...BOO
-car payments...BOO
-insurance for being a 19 year old male in CA...BOOOOOO
-being super paranoid of my car...BOO

-Driving different chicks in my car...FTW

BURNING HONDAS=FTL

Anyhow, im glad you like the car try not to crash it and congrats on the purchase, lol.

 

LOL, funny but true.

 

"This cute girl that I know runs out screaming with her ***** all jiggling in the air to hug me tight."

that in itself totally justifies the purchase.

 

good job man!, u made the perfect choice, dont b surprised if sum of ur frends start talkin **** tht u could'v dun this or gotten tht, f*** them.. but congrats and have fun man, i barely got mine too so im enjoin it

 

Revving the engine will do it... Something about the exhaust note just compels people.

Congrats on sounding more mature than most of the teenage Z owners on here.

 

was that sarcasm at its finest...cause yeah, after reading it, i was like man, im an ahole for typing this haha

 

by the way, don't you just hate it when you see someone parking their car and it looks like they're about back into you...

...but then you realize this dude must be loaded, and then you pray so you can make some extra cash?

im totally kidding btw, that would be terrible, my heart stops everytime someone gets close to backing in.

 

are you serious? mature, wtf
