Default New owner of an '07 Gran Touring

Just got my baby a few weeks ago and just now getting used to the power. My last car was a '97 Camaro and when I t-boned a drunk driver I already knew what I was going to upgrade too. It took me a while to find the right one but I held out for a good deal. I just picked up my '07 350Z 6mt Gran Touring the other day and I never want to get out of it. Here's a few pics of it.

Ya I saw that the pics weren't showing up. My internet is taking a crap on me right now. I'll try to fix it soon. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like my pics are way too large.

Usually I don't like NISMO rims, but they look good on a your car.

they aren't nismo wheels - they are the stock grand touring model wheels, and they are awesome and highly sought after. made by rays, light weight and great looking.

You are correct. They are in near perfect condition also. I like them more than most aftermarket options so they are going to stay on for a while.

I couldn't agree with you more. Of course, if jadaniya didn't get himself banned he would probably flame you for making that statement.

I have an '06 Grand Touring and love it!

Well if he flames people for saying their personal opinion then the community is probably better off without him.

Agreed.

But seriously, I love those wheels. I just sold mine after I got the version that comes on the Nismo edition 350Z. It is pretty much the exact same wheel but in charcoal. I kind of regret selling mine, but I couldn't justify having two sets of the same wheel.

Nice, I was already thinking about getting them painted/powder coated if/when I get the car painted. I will probably save any engine mods for later on down the road. F/I costs so much and going the N/A route you don't get a lot of bang for your buck.

Good job. You've taken another drunk driver off the road and saved the day.

She was going straight across the road and I couldn't miss her. After the accident she was trying to leave but her front driver side wheel was under her car. Then she started throwing beer bottles out of her car. Luckily I was in the Baylor area and there are cops all over the place on the weekends.

It's all good man, so am I. I've just been looking into getting this car for a long time so I know a little bit about it. Look around this forum for a little while and you will learn tons of stuff. I know I have
