Default Just in time for winter

I sold my 240sx convertible a month ago because I had a good offer on it, and I was sick of the convertible thing. So after a few days I spotted a black 350z sitting out on the car lot down from where I work. It was dirty, and had some really ugly 20's on it, but I decided to take it out for a test drive. Right away I knew I had to have it, so I took it to work and put it on a lift to inspect everything and it came out clean. After checking what my payments would be and my insurance rate, I picked it up the following day on my lunch break.

Anyways, it's an 03 Base with 43,500 on it. It decided to rain the day I bought it.


The car came with the factory wheels with brand new Michelins, so I threw them on and had it buffed, then gave it a good coat of wax and got this.


So far, I've put in new factory floor mats and put in invotekken trunk struts. After Christmas I'd like to find some factory seats to replace the Ebay Nismo ones. They sit too high causing my head to hit the roof on bumps, and creak,

I'd like to get a winter beater, but really can't afford it right now, but the car won't see any snow or ice, just the salt. But I was really good at keeping the underneath clean a couple times a week with my other cars.

Here's the family spare that I'll be using quite often especially if it snows like it did last year. It has a 351w, brand new bfgoodrich A/T, and remote start.

and a couple of the 240. I put in a manual trans, one piece alum drive shaft, poly suspension bushings, s14 seats, an lsd, and some other stuff.




and my old Turbo Volvo which was replaced for the more reliable and cheaper to maintain Bronco, We also put up a two car garage since those pictures were taken.


So far the forum looks awesome, and I can't wait to see more of it.

I've always wanted a bronco, and got a steal on that one. I'm right between York and Gettysburg. Where are you from?
