Default Hello from Mexico city. Just got my 03 350Z touring...

Hello, my name is Roberto.
I am a veterinarian in Mexico city and a big fan of sports cars and Bikes.

I just sold my C4 Corvette which I really liked. It was a really tough decision to let it go but as soon as I did I started looking for the next replacement.
Always loved the 300ZX and still think that the design is great but tought it might be better to get a more recent car.
I found a nice 350Z , touring . I took it for a spin and really loved the way it sounds, moves and for me it felt really comfortable.
I am 6 foot 2 and the Vette was always a tight fit, but this one feels like it was made just right for me.
Because it has a manual transmission it was instant love.
So here I am, ready to learn from all of you guys, hope this will last for a long time.
Thanks in advance for the advice I will be receiving.

It is crazy. Mexico city is one of the largest cities in the world, with a population exceeding 20 million in a reduced space because we are surrounded by mountains.

At peak hours it is just like a parking lot bun Saturdays and Sundays are ok.
We have some mountain roads that are great and challenging both for cars and motorcycles.
As all cities it has some beautiful parts and others that I avoid because insecurities.
I will post some pictures later.

Dr, Roberto,

Welcome !

You'll soon realize the Z will out shine your old C4.

As a former C5 owner, my '03 Touring Z has been a far more overall enjoyable car in so many different categories.
