Default Finally bought a Z after being a member for 2.5 yrs...

Sup guys, i've been here for about 2.5 years and been doing lots of reading. I use to have a 05 G Sedan, sold it a few months back for a GS300. Missed RWD and VQ power so i shopped for a z. Finally pulled the trigger on an 08 with 56k miles and loving it.

Here is a teaser pic that i sent to my friends:


I've had these sitting at the house for a month now, just have to clean up the wheels a lil more and order tires.

Woah dude, where did you get a kickass laundry basket like that and more importantly, what's the load capacity of it?

Googling the size, basic math tells us around 6425 cubic inches.

Volume of a Rectangular Prism
LxWxH

21"L x 18"W x 17"H

nah, i keep movies on the PS3 and viewed them from there. Those are books that way when ppl come over it looks like i like to read. Most ppl are more impressed with the 27" imac and 19" montior that i have hooked up to it.

Funny that you mentioned that i was wet sanding the center caps last nite.

Full pics will come this wknd. I will be at a track for a drift event so the location should be cool.

Debating if i want to try and get it out there to. If it was in the open parking lot i would but being that its on the track and i have things to run into, so we shall see.
