Default New Z owner NC

I have always been into trucks/cars but was never really into the 350z. My last vehicle was a supercharged 2007 Tahoe, and before that a 2006 Chevy Duramax with 10" of lift on 40's, and before that a Mustang Mach 1 and the list goes on. After selling my Tahoe I was just going to ride my motorcycle most of the time until I deploy, I'm in the Marines, but I got tired of getting caught in the rain all the time. Thats when the decision came to buy a nice car that was good on gas. It's a 2003 Track Edition with just over 50k miles and was just to good of a deal to pass up. Some of you may have seen this car before cause the guy I bought it from said it was part of this forum. So I'm not taking any credit to building the car, I bought it just the way it is. I've posted pictures in my garage, and will post a list of mods asap, and better pics when I get them. So far I have loved every minute of driving the car, it's got pretty good horse power (could use more), awesome looks (get compliments everywhere), and handles like it's on rails. Other than my Duramax, this is the only other car I've had that my wife has said she actually likes. So that's a little about me, if anybody is in the Jacksonville, NC area let me know, you'll probably see me around town.

There are a few pics in my garage, but they are pretty crappy. Don't know why they look the way they do, they were taken on a good camera. If it's decent out tomorrow, I'll clean it up some and get some better pictures.

USE PHOTOBUCKET to host your images and then just copy paste IMG tags.

I think I've seen your car on the air station, you got a CF rear diffuser as well right? If that's you then that's a very nice car. I drive one of the 100,000 silver 350Zs... mine slammed and turbo tho.
