Finally she's all mine!
2 Attachment(s)
After 3 years of dreaming about owning a Z I finally have one. A 2008 carbon silver enthusiast with 8700 miles. It cost me $21,500 before tag, title, and tax. I made the deal separate of my trade in. I still got screwed on my trade in but I tried to sell it private party for 2 months and had zero interest. They gave me $5k for my 01 eclipse spyder. It was in pretty bad shape and had mechanical problems. Anyway my loan came out to $16,500. My wife already curbed it on the drive back from Utah. No damage at least. I have owned 3 cars in my life and my wife has curbed all 3 of them.
I started out wanting an 05 Daytona Blue Touring model. As time progressed, I wanted every other color and debated back and forth on what trim I wanted. I ran across a pic of a topless chick laying on a carbon silver Z and that was when I knew I wanted this color. I decided to go with the enthusiast because I wanted LSD, cruise control, aluminum pedals, and steering wheel volume controls. I utimately decided against the touring trim because it seems to my eye that the leather in 03/04/05's isn't aging well. I can't stand cloth seats so it seems that I will be looking into aftermarket leather here shortly. I'm only going to post one pic of the Z since you all know what they look like. I'll include my wife in the pic since I know some pervert will ask. I'll also throw up a pic of the motorcylce I bought this year. Kinda funny- The moment we pulled up to the house my wife said to me, "I let you buy a motorcylce, your dream tv, and now your dream car all this year. Now I want babies." So I guess that's what's coming down the pipe next. Better be a boy or it's going back in. :icon44: |

Enjoy the car while it lasts. Babies tend to hinder such :). Have fun! Good purchase.

Congrats. Your wife is not alone. Wives are very well kown for curbing. lol.
As for wanting the baby, know that it can be done safely in the Z (as long as it is parked, lol). Just don't get rid of the Z as soon as the baby comes. A lot of guys do that because it is a 2 seater. Enjoy |
Nice job....great price on an '08 with very low miles! :)
|
congrats!

Congrats. Hope your wife doesn't "curb" the babies.

Congrats! Use the excuse of the wife curbing your old rims to get some nice works or volks ;)
