Cool New Z Roadster owner here...and loving it!

Hey everyone...

I just got my new (used) 2005 350Z Touring Roadster 2 weeks ago...a garage kept Utah car (bought it out here in Utah) it is in pristine condition with only 27K miles on it! I got the car, tax tag and title and a 4-year 100K bumper to bumper warranty for around $22K. The previous owner (the sales manager at the Nissan dealership) just put a new set of Sumitomo performance tires on it 300 miles ago, so I'm set...for now. Black paint, black top, black leather...gonna get a black set of wheels with polished lips on it, and get a license plate that reads "Darkness" LOL. I LOVE THIS CAR!

My beautiful (and generous) wife bought it for me as a retirement gift; I retire from the USAF in 1 month after 20 years of service. What a gal!

Moving home to Pensacola, Florida in 1 month, and will be looking to hook up with a car club down there.

Just wanted to say hi...see y'all around the forums.

Sign up, to be on the mailing list. Your going to want to, once you get tired of buying special sprays to keep the softtop in good condition.

Smile Thanks guys!

Wow...thanks for all the welcomed responses...

Yes, my wife does have a sister...but hers are fake LOL

I am "retiring" from the Air Force...at age 37. Not RETIRING like I'm gonna start playing golf in plaid pants and white loafers...

Here's a couple of pics for now (must get hott pics of hott wife in the car with the top down...on the car, not her.) LOL







AND MY FIRST ($9.00) MOD:



Still can't believe this is an '05 with 27K miles on it...what a gem. I love it! This is THE best handling sports car I've owned; above my WRX and STI even...

See y'all around the forums...

Rob

Welcome to the forum. Your Z looks very tidy. Nice find. Hadn't heard of those Sumitomo tyres til just now. Interesting.

Enjoy the Z and I hope that generous wife gets to go for a blast in the Z too.
