Default New Z owner in WA!

Took me awhile but finally found a car I love. A redline red 04 Z. I had looked at a nice 04 Audi S4 and almost bought it, but it needed a very expensive transmission. I had also looked at a couple WRX's, but very happy I ended up with a Z in the end. (too many wrx's where i live and mostly douchebags......) Such a fun car. Instantly turned me into a loyal Z fan. I will forever love the brand.

Bought from original owner, mechanically in great shape, (had it checked out before bought, mechanic was pretty impressed) with just a couple
cosmetic blemishes that i can live with. Im 19, but no, my parents did not buy me this car. I am fortunate enough to have a pretty good job considering my age.

The car came with an intake, and I bought new tires, and have window tint now. Would love to do some mods but really trying to pay it off ha. Also, very interested in some meets/cruises in Washington or Oregon. Looks like a great forum and happy to be here! Heres a few pics (cuz im sure you guys have never seen a stock Z before.... anyways, here ya

go..

Welcome! I live in battle ground so not too far from you. There is a monthly Beaverton meet but I dont believe many people show up. We need to remake a meet as there's quite a few people from the NW on here.

Oh and congrats on your Z. If you need anything local let me know. I work in Portland so I drive by Vancouver every day.

Nice car. I own an 04 redline myself. Only bad part is the paint chips/fades faster than any of the other colors. But it's very nice. Take care of it!

What a clean example! Very nice find! Good to have priorites, and paying things off is a good way to be. Good luck and enjoy!
