Hello all, picking up my new 2008 Carbon Silver 350z Enthusiast next week Wednesday. I'm super excited as this will be my first "new" car in about 8 years. No stranger to Nissan though, as I've owned a number of 240sx's.





My previous car. RIP

 

Welcome and congratulations. Where are you heading to pick it up?

 

Missouri, it's a bit of a trek but price is much nicer than anything I've found locally.

 

Beautiful cars and great choice, congratulations!

 

Congrats dude, you had a very nice 240 too.

 

Congrats on getting a HR, I also have a carbon silver. Love it

 

Congrats. I like the 240 as well. Have fun with the Z

 

Thanks for the kind words. I'm looking forward to a different chassis / platform.

 

since you will be in the 350z scene now, check out zclubofflorida.net

 

Nice Z!

 

Great lookin Z!
I'm partial to the "silvers"...have a silverstone.
Best OEM Z rims,too!

 

Very nice, so what happened to the 240 that you say RIP?

 

nice Z. i bet you miss your 240.

 

nice z. congrats.

 

I made the mistake of letting someone else drive it. We got cut off on the highway, driver lost control slammed into a guard rail at 75mph bounced off, spun, smashed the rear into the guard rail again, spun one more time and ended up in a ditch. I got a first hand view of the "action" in the passenger seat. Really crappy day, but an accident nonetheless. Luckily neither of us were injured aside from a bruised thumb and a bump on the head. I was able to part this car out and buy my Z in cash so that was a relief too. The parts list was top notch, car might not have looked like much but everything was touched inside and out. Full spl parts / spc suspension, kw clubsport coilovers, built SR20, r33 skyline / S15 silvia interior goodies, and way more than I can think of or write right now. I'm sad the 240 died to get a Z but I'm also looking forward to owning a "new, stock" car that I can tastefully modify.

Here are some shots of the automobile gore.

Night of the crash:

The damage the next day in the daylight: (Front bumper and pieces of rear bumper were found 50 feet away!)



After virtually ever piece was parted out.

 

Congrats on the 08 HR,I love mine...

 

damn bro no joke about parting everything off of your 240... congrats on the the z

 

no no no. It doesnt count until the keys are in your hands.

 

Lol, I think a down payment and a flight to Missouri count for something. I'll be sure to post a picture of my hand with the keys in it on Wednesday night.

 

Picked the car up last Wednesday, and got it home on Thursday night. Friday I slept all day. Saturday full detail consisting of, wash, clay, wax, vacuum, glass cleaning, de-odorizing. (Not that it smelled bad to begin with). Sunday rest!

Pics of car in my possession for the naysayers.




Pictures with this crappy Iphone really do this car no justice!
