Default Picked up my 04 DB enthusiast!!!

I am extremely happy with this car! I went from a 300whp srt-4 to this and let me tell you, it's a HUGE upgrade. Anyway, I have this posted on a local forum where i'm from and just thought i'd post pics of the trip on here as well.

It started at 2am Saturday morning...we went to sleep, zing!!!! 4am happened to come really early when we had to get up and head to the airport. We left Boise at 6:30 and arrived in SLC around an hour later, soon after we were headed off for Phoenix Arizona. Talk about hot...it was 91 degrees there at 4:30 that morning. 973 mile drive back...made it in about 24 hours with stopping to sleep for a bit.

On the plane, Frankenstein in the background hated us.




SLC, stuntin is a habit









Bored at the stealership










Headed to In n out in a sweet jetta.











Random palm trees etc.






My sweet portable GPS and aftermarket deck...need to get the 350z kit to fill in the hole.





1 happy guy




Trip is close to begin...about 6pm still in Phoenix.





Time to tape her up.












Finally on the road.










Hoover Dam









Vegas, around midnight...so much fail here.













Ya **** Vegas...couldn't find a place to stay after 1.5 hours of driving around we stopped at this place at 3am and it was like heaven. The room was smaller than my bedroom, beds harder than the floor but it had ac and it was the most heavenly thing around lol.









Back on the road again 11:00 am our time.















Ya...i couldn't hold it anymore.







Z trying to look big.






Most of the pics are just us being wired on 2 hours of sleep...but enjoy.

Congrats on the Z. Looks like you guys had fun. That stereo install is a hack job. Maybe your friend can use some of his many skills to fix it. How much for the 04'?

I got a SMOKING deal on the car. Went down there expecting to get it for 15800...Well there was some stuff wrong that i didn't like. Stereo didn't work, no cover over where i have my portable gps, crack in the mudflap etc. All in all i talked them down to $14900. I went to best buy real quick and had them install that deck, they didn't have the 350z kit though to close in that hole. I just need to get that and it will look a lot better. Thanks for the welcome guys!

Amen to that dude. This one has 41k miles, this one has a few flaws but they are things that are cheap to replace so I will still be into it for pretty cheap when it's all said and done.

Did you get some funny looks driving along with all that blue tape on the nose? Good idea though.
