New Z owner, upstate NY
How's it going guys? My name is Travis, and I just picked up my first Z today! Absolutely love this car... I traded in my 07 Tiburon Se 6spd for this 04 Touring with 60k miles. The car is in amazing condition, and I got a crazy deal on it. Mods include: tint all the way around, staggered 19x9 and 19x10 TSW rims, OEM carbon fiber hood, Nismo s tuned suspension, Nismo exhaust and CAI, carbon fiber shorty antennae and Nismo v2 replica bumper. Future mods include OEM Brembo BBK upgrade, rear wiper delete, black chrome Nissan burger badges and maybe a few other things. I am absolutely in love with this car. Drove it around for over an hour after I got out of work at 1am lol. After driving this car I am completely hooked, I never want to get rid of it! Sorry about the crappy pics. I'll take some better ones when I get the chance in better light. Anyways just wanted to introduce myself and the new ride, I'm excited to become part of the Z community, I have wanted one of these cars since they came out.

Well, I'm not enlisted but I live five minutes from Ft. Drum. What are DoD stickers? and no, there are no decals of any kind on my car. My dad is a car dealer so he's gonna help me find a $500 beater for the winter. It sucks I hate living in this area. We get so much snow! Have you tried to drive your Z in the winter?

What town are you in? I actually still own a house up in Theresa on Hyde Lake.
I had the unfortunate pleasure of getting stuck in some freak snow storms in the Z, not fun, not with the amount that falls in a short amount of time there. Stay away from summer tires, that is for sure. Definitely get a beater, keep the salt and rust off that Z.
EDIT-Oddly enough, I had the exact same wheels on my Z. The salt leftover on the roads ate up the lips pretty bad.

I currently live in watertown, but I'm moving to Baldwinsville in less than a week. I love the rims so I'll be sure to keep them away from excess salt... It's gonna suck to put the Z away for the winter. So where do you live right now? I take it the lake house is a summer home only. Theresa is a nice area my best friend lived with his parents in Theresa on oxbow road.
Yeah it sucks to put the Z away, but it sure beats dealing with the winters with a Z........and the damage that happens later on via salt/road chemicals.
Oxbow is out near my house. I honestly loved living out there, minus my yard that turns into a swamp after some rain/melting snow due to the high water table. Not a summer house, I got sent to Virginia, so I rent the place out. I kind of miss it up there.......odd as that sounds. I used to go to that little bowling ally in Theresa all the time, on 37. *sigh*
On the bright side, the women down here are WAY better than NNY....lol....no offense.
