Default Z Owner - So Cal

Hello Everyone,

So iv had my z for about a month now, its been a blast driving it. i love going out at night just to drive her. I live in So Cal - san marcos, i went up for a nice drive the other day on the 78 up to Julian, CA. it was a nice twisty road. i went in mourning last Saturday and there was not much traffic at all, it was a fun drive with my daughter. be a good ride for a bunch of Z,s to go up.

I'm convinced that i got a hell of a deal on my 350z, Paid 20,000 with all fees out the door with military discount. Got it financed for 5.74%. insurance is only 125 a month for full coverage. 2008 Nissan 350z Base 6spd, 23905 miles on it, Free K&N Filters, Free Lojack with install, 2010 Chrysler Sebring antenna (same as dodge avenger) great condition(front left rim has some damage just a little scuff, but doesn't bother me) had to fix the hatch, one of the little springs was damaged, i just ordered two new ones cost me like 60$ with overnight shipping for both. got the windows tinted with 3M tint, they did a nice job cost like 175$, 30 on front sides and 20 on rear sides and rear hatch. there's 3 little bubbles left on the hatch but u cant even notice unless u look for like 20mins.

Really need to buy a exhaust and some HFC/TP, planing on buying a bassani exhaust from zcargarage. then some berk HFC or TP. Had to make a deal with my wife that what ever i spend on the car she gets to spend, but she doesnt realize that well still be spending most of her money since she makes more than i do per month.

someone hit my rear bumper so i have 2 screw holes from there license plate, really want to **** up who did this if i knew.




Guy in 2nd picture is the dude drying my car after i got it tinted, got a free car was with my tint.

Ya , when you do id recommend driving on the 78 going East From Escondido, good hour drive to Julian, traffic is not that bad on Saturday for me , weekdays go early. when you get to there don't stop keep going further down till you want to head home. you can pick your self up a pie fro the Julian pie co. picked one up from my wife, it was really good. half tank of gas, 12$ pie and a fun day of driving.

My Z is my daily drive, drive about 50miles to and from work a day. Love putting miles on her, just hit the 26,000 mark.

the tint is 20% on the rear hatch and rear sides and 30 on the front sides. it looks darker but they did a really good job on it, was 175 for the tint, but that doesn't bother me.

But ya julian there some nice twisty roads there, fun driving up there. Saw one police when i drove a total of 200 miles the other day up there, he wasn't shooting radar just talking on the side of the road on his cell phone.
