Default Finally got my 350Z!

What's up guys, just wanted to introduce myself to the forums!

I finally picked up the car I've been drooling over for the past four years, a 350z.
I've always wanted the 2007-08 HR's but my parents got me a surprise graduation gift and it ended up being a 2003 Touring 350z. Even though it's not the year I wanted, I still love it so much. It feels good to be in the car I've been wanting all along!

Now, time to start saving up and start modding! I got to get my transmission problems taken care of first though, my 3rd and 4th gear synchros are pretty bad compared to all my other gears... =[

Yes I am. You could say so, I graduated at the top of my class and my parents just surprised me out of the blue! But I'm paying for it, so it's even better of you ask me

You mad? The transmission is doing fine now, switched over to Redline's fluid and everything is smooth again.
