Default new z33 owner!

Found a 2004 350z touring model on craigslist that was actually STOCK and had a CLEAR title, a rare find it seems after i vin checked a few others. Happened very quick, called him in the morning and owned it by 1pm.

I put about 100 miles on it over yesterday and today to get a feel for it, i very much like the car.

I was in the market for a e46 330ci for about a month and just could not find the color combination i wanted with the miles, plus the maintenance costs scared me. So the last week i spent looking for a Z or a G. Im not a big baller like a lot of cars i see on here, so its got some miles and stock but this is what i could buy outright.

Im coming from a mass of FWD cars and a recent truck.

Previous cars in order
84 accord (1997)
85 prelude
91 prelude
94 saturnSL
93 prelude
04 mazda3
07 mazdaspeed3
09 corollaS
00 toyota tacoma
now 04 350z
