Even cops like nice cars

I picked it up a couple days ago:
San Marino Blue 08 350z Touring, 6 speed, with 23k on the clock.

Purchased from the original owner, a 63 year old medical research professor, who garaged, babied, and all around METICULOUSLY cared for the vehicle. It was used as a fair weather/weekend car. It's never been in an accident, or smoked in. It's in better shape than my fiance's 2010 Honda fit with 12k miles on it.

My past cars:
94 Isuzu pickup 5 speed
92 Geo Storm (lol)
03 Sentra Spec V
09 Civic Si Coupe
03 Hyundai Elantra Automatic (the car I drove for a year to get debt free)
And now:

Can you say way different from what I'm used to??

I'm in love.

I second that. I never had a speeding ticket until I got my Z this month. I think they should loan every cop a sports car when their off duty to see things from our point of view

Let's make sure we don't spin the thread off topic especially on someone's new first post..

But is the law is the law... it doesn't make it right.. but my point is that it sure is hell makes it easy to forget or not notice how fast your going in this car for sure.

Anyways op.. nice car welcome
