Default Just returned home with my 2006 LeMans Sunset 350Z GT

A friend of mine and I just got back from picking up my 1st Z car. The car was located in MD. We flew in around noon yesterday, picked up the car at the dealer, had some dinner, went to DC, then made our way back to WI. I love it! The drive back was a little slippery in spots but we made it home safe. I took the car to the car wash right away and scrubbed it down. I will post some pictures later. I look forward to learning a lot about these cars on this forum.

It hurts driving a new car in such weather first time.. What did you do to break it on the way home? Great Color!

The worst part is all the rock salt they put on the roads in PA. I don't know what was worse, the sound of the drill in the dentist chair or the salt in the wheel wells. It was worth the trip!

Congrats on the purchase. I think that is one of the more spectacular colors for a Z - wish they had continued it into '07, as it would have been my first choice. What's up with the last picture of the exhaust?

If you love you LMS now, you wait until Spring and Summer arrives.

I hope you rinsed your Z down really well before you started to wash.
