Not the way i wanted to get a Z but
So Hi my name is Christian, i'm 32, 6'4" 210lbs....
My mother always wanted this car and 2 yrs ago she finally got it, a silver 5sp 2005 350Z. She got it at a used car event at Raymond James Stadium.
She called me on the way home so i could listen to the motor rev she was so happy.
She took super good care of her baby and didn't do anything to it but it came with Japanese Avanti rims that i was told were about $3800.00 and they don't even make them anymore. They are a tri design with a threaded hub sticking out? A custom intake manifold that should be for a turbo but still would net 10% gains in horsepower and a negative 5% in tourqe? Stillen headers, Borla cat-back exhaust, sounds like hi-flows.......tint.......strut bar injen intake........that's all i see anyways...
So she was the coolest lady ever but she was hiding breast cancer for the past 12 yrs especially bad the last year she said...finally....
She had some stomach pains and went to the ER and 9 days later she passed away from some serious cancer, you could see the tumor coming thru the skin on her side.. I can only imagine how hard that was to live with all alone. She did a really good job of hiding it from us i hung out with her all the time. The strongest lady ever...anyways enuff boo hoo **** on my end.
She loved the car and i won't let anything bad happen to it so i'm taking on the payments and will Drive it forever as a second fun car in her honor.
We were planning to have the rims and grille powdercoated black in the new year so that's all i'm gonna do really...
Flat black or shiny black? i love flat black what do you all think...thanks for listening...she'd have loved this site BTW.....
