Good for you Johnny.
Seems like we are going to have some busy Saturdays coming up here.

Alot of Mods being bought, and need to be put on.
I for one need to get my Z's new toys on so I can get her sounding good again.

Looks like it should be a fun summer.
Again, congrats Dil

I'm fairly certain that my Z is coming out of storage late next week. Even if I only get to drive it a couple days a week for a while - it's worth it. I have to get the oil consumption test started, and I just REALLY want to drive her.

John - I want to get it out of storage ASAP but last year I took it out the second week of April, I'm guessing this year will be no different. I try to give the rain enough time to wash all that salt off the roads.

Hey guys, I've tried introducing myself. But I guess I'll go again.

My name is Rob and I'm in AA, I'm currently looking for a 350z and hoping to purchase one within the next couple months. Looking forward to meeting everybody and helping out wrenching and going to track days! I'm stoked!!!!

P.S. ~ If anybody stumbles upon any good deals on 04-06 Black enthusiast/touring/track models. Please let me know! Thanks!!

Edit: And if anybody is willing to give me a ride in their Z, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've driven an EVO (which is the other car i'm looking at), and I just want to get a feel of a Z. Thanks

Welcome. Good luck with your search. I think more than half of us still have our Zs stored for the winter - and are pretty far away from Ann Arbor.. You might be able to get a test drive on a used Z in your area - that's how I got my first test drive before buying a new one.

Aznsky - I would be willing to take ya for a ride, as I am sure many of the people on here would. Obviously I would tell you to get a Z over the EVO. (Billy is confused sometime. lol jk.) As far as wrenching, you missed some of that yesterday. A couple of us got together and put an exhaust on. As for meets, we have many of them in the works already we are just trying to get some dates.

ETX - You will like those dumps, I know they sound awsome on Billys car.

Steve - Thanks for stoping by to help out yesterday. I hope your first experience wrenching was fun.
