Default 2004 Enthusiast 6MT Lemans Sunset

I just got it yesterday. 86K, original equipment, $13K, approved by my mechanic(he caught a bad catalytic converter and a sticking caliper, and I learned a thing or two), approved by the wife, and I have wanted one since 1974. The biggest downside so far are the replacement radio that needs a remote and a wind noise/window leak on the driver's side.
Gonna be my dd, my under 2 mile commute makes that simple and my wife's XC90 will pick up the slack.
Yesss!

I will get some pix this weekend. My last car was a dark grey Maxima, I wanted something less stealthy. I like the color, and Z's are rare where I live. I already realize that I have a fuel sensor issue, and the info here on that and other topics will be valuable to me. I have been lurking for a few weeks while I made up my mind, it seems like a friendly place.
Thanks for the warm welcome.

I really like the blue and maroon colors, but supply around me was limited. I bought the best one I could find in my budget, and I am lovin' it! More pix to follow, although the interior is a little rough(passenger power port cover will not close, rear power port has no cover, felt covered replacement for ashtray has broken cover) right now.

I live in Norwalk(land of the G's, lol!), but bought the car in Seymour. From the Carfax, it was originally bought from George Harte, and serviced there for about 5 years, then moving to Ma.

I was not very interested in the 300XZ, which was around when I got out of college, but my soft spot for the original remained. I was planning on getting a G35 in 2006, but things happened to make that a dream instead of a reality.

Manchester is about 75 minutes without traffic. Tonight is taken, family obligations. When would the next meet be? Is it Z Cars only?

Default A few interior pix

A few interior pix. I broke the passenger parcel box, did not realize how fragile the lock mechanism is. Don't flame me, all I have been working on is the stereo, and trying to find someone to help me hook up the Homelink.
Trying to figure out if I can tackle the gas gauge issue by myself(about 5 gallons left when I hit 0 distance to empty), other than that I am just enjoying the ride.
