New to the forum. Used it to research the 350 before diving in.
My wife picked out an 08 350 base.
Just stopping by to say hello. Probably run into a few here and there at Cars and Coffee (I presume some go, although it was more fun before moving it to the sheds in BFE)
She thinks this will be her DD year round.........we'll see how she likes it come December.
A crappy pic.

Thanks gentleman.
Look forward to meeting some folks from here. We usually take the bikes to C&C but will have to switch to the 350.
I spotted a Black 350 heading north on 100 and onto 394 E last Thursday around 4pm. Sealed the deal, we picked it up on Friday. I am curious if the guy that wanted to trade his 03 for it (car was at Syversons in Albert L)
is on here?

welcome cbreater, and yes come winter time i'm sure she'll want a diff vehicle to drive lol, any reason why she picked out an 08 350z and not upgrade to the new 370z? Also being that it is a base model you dont have any of the TCS (traction control system) and VDC (vehicle dynamic control) and a LSD which will make it very difficult to drive in the snow, your RPM's are going to be all over the place and is going to be a one wheel wonder....

They didnt always have front drives and all that fancy electronic fun hater **** anyway. She likes the 350 (even though they look VERY similar) and the price seemed right on it, considerably less than an 09 370.
Lest we not forget the above mentioned missing, but also CRUISE!! How on earth someone can build a car (regardless of the cars intended focus) with out cruise is beyond me. I would gladly take the 8lbs worth of junk for cruise.

Looks like our little club is moving up in the world. To think what we started 3 years ago has gotten bigger and bigger each year. I like that you guys have your own section now but agree that this should remain in the north central section.

She's well aware of the pitfalls. We'll see how it goes I guess. Some blizzacks might be on her birthday list. They didnt always have front drives and all that fancy electronic fun hater **** anyway.
