Default First Z, First Week, fourth tank.

Sup guys, It's been a long time since i've taking the initiative to actually post on a car forum. I mainly just log on to search to find info for small projects i'd doing. Brief history, Im 27 and on my 5th car and 3rd motorcycle. Started off a Honda fan. 03 Civic Ex Auto, 01 Honda Prelude 5speed manual, 2002 Honda S2000 6 Speed manual (obviously lol). Unfortunately so my motor blew on my S2K at 165K so I found myself in 06 G35 Coupe (Auto) it was a great car, 19"rays, sport package, aero package, Navigation and luxury for days. it was extremely comfortable to drive but didn't exactly put the smile on my face I was used to coming from a S2K. So after about 5 months of ownership I decided to go a different but familiar route. Drove up to my local Nissan dealership and test drove a 05 350z Roadster Touring auto with 65k on the dash. So far in the first week of ownership i've driven almost 1,000 miles and enjoyed every second of it. I hope to slowly learn more about these VQ engines and Nissans in general and use this as my stepping stone to the 370z. Thanks for the time guys.

Are you sure you have a Touring? Those 17" wheels came on the automatic Touring models. The 6 speed models came with 18" wheels. Is your interior leather?

thanks for the welcomes guys! Yes I'm sure, I have the 5 speed Automatic Touring model. It has black leather power/heated seats, premium Bose system etc. Only thing it does not have it Navigation. And imm not the biggest fan of the 17's but changes and additions will come this summer.
