Default Getting a Z this week

Decided on an '06 Daytona Blue base 6 speed. Coming from an automatic Honda civic I couldn't believe the difference when I took it for a test drive. These cars are amazing. Oh and I'm 28 so please no hate.

The only pic the seller has listed atm.

Oh it has 19k miles. Planning on doing some pretty basic stuff. Stuff that my fiance won't notice and cause me to get killed during the night. So if it's under the hood she probably won't see it. This is the first manual car I will have owned but I've driven stick before so it's not that new to me. The blind spots leave a bit to be desired but they are quite a bit worse in the 370z in my opinion.

Keys in hand. Drove it 100 miles back home last night. Best 100 miles I've ever driven. I'm still getting used to the clutch, it seems to have a much more narrow engagement point than the honda accord I learned stick on.

Gonna get it cleaned up tomorrow but here's a pic in my buddy's garage.

eh, just an expression. God I love this car, solid powerband at any rpm. My only regret is that there's not many places around here I can really experience it's full potential without alerting several police. Some more pics after we cleaned and waxed it along with my friend's Z4.

Congratz on the Z man! I too have a 08 350z that upgraded from a 4dr civic vtec! I had a choice to score a s2000 but when I test drove the 350z, i just fell in love with its power! !
