Mike,

you dont need to send anything to join the club. no money is being collected for this whole year because they are still in the process of getting it all organized and trying to get more members. all you have to do is register on the forum and you're in.

BUT, you do need to send $20 to the church if you want your car to have a parking spot in the show/cruise.

Hi folks, I know this is not the place to put this, but thought you all might be able to at least offer me some advice being from the same area and all. I am thinking seriously of selling my new Z (personal reasons) and was offered 30K as a trade from a dealer, which is under Kelly Blue Book trade-in value. The dealer said that KBB is never right, but I am skeptical. Have you folks had any experience with selling a Z? Mine is a totally stock ZR touring model, PPW with frost interior. I certainly hate the idea of giving it away....

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer a fellow Michigander.

Cheers, Rachel

That was very likely me. Black Z, tinted windows, Volk wheels.... The exhaust is a Nismo S-Tune....actually brand new on Monday! It sounds great at open throttle, but to be honest, I think I like the Borla I had on it before. It's a top notch quality exhaust......just different than my taste, and from what I was expecting. Maybe it'll grow on me.

If it doesn't grow on me in the next week, I may be interested in offering it up to someone local for a decent price. Right now it has only a few hundred miles on it.

If it was you then it was saturday around noon. The exhaust sounded great. Very muscle car-ish but not as obnoxious. Whichever one you had on that day, let me know if youre interested in selling it.

That is if you decide which one youre going to keep on.

Hey, we're having a meet on the 26th in Grand Rapids. Details here: https://my350z.com/forum/north-central/211225-nissan-datsun-infiniti-meet-in-michigan-aug-26-a.html It will coincide with the 28th Street Metro Cruise, which is our little knock off of Woodward. It's kind of nice because its not near as stressful as Woodward, but still good sized. If you're up for a little road trip the weekend after Woodward, you should head over. It's only 2 hours away for most of you.

Spartan-
Let me know if you want to sell either of the exhausts that you have...

Rachael-
Personally I would try to sell your car yourself, clean it up real good and put it on a street corner for a month. If you can't sell it or get no real offers for it then turn it in.

My friend works for a dealership selling cars and thats what he told me to do with my old Malibu when she was up for sale...I ended up selling it
Just my .02 on that

Is anyone invited to this meet at the Church?
Or is it an invite only thing?

Datona Jess, the Nismo S-Tune exhaust is available. Less than 1,000 miles on it, basically brand new. Great quality, just personal preference. Contact me and I'll be happy to give you a great deal on this.

My Nismo S-Tune cat back exhaust is available if anyone is interested. Less than 1,000 miles on it, so almost new. Price negotiable, and I'd rather sell it local.

I may have already asked this question a long time ago, but how many of you drive your Z all year round? I think it's do-able, we don't get hit with that much snow. Obviously snow tires are a must.

Thats cool, see I knew you could do it. You would know, our winter's have been fairly mild the past couple years atleast. We get one or two heavy heavy snow days. The rest turns to mush or lightly packed neighborhood streets.

I personally have some snow tires for the stock wheels, and I have done fine.
Just when they say its going to snow like a Banshee either you get a cab or have a buddy drive. No big deal, very do-able.
