It's a fire sale at Nick's house!

I barely got to drive the Z today. I think I may have put on about 25 miles. At this rate, it might get another 2k miles this summer.

But I guess you've got a point about people abusing your car in Fargo. Why the hell do you want to go there anyway? There's better places...
Its a decent school and i can get into it.

so I'm new here....I am 21 from Willmar MN, I am currently stationed in Iraq though, I'm in the Marine Corps. I don't own a z right now. I used to have a Trans Am that I had a lot of work put into it. My brother sold my Trans Am while I was over here, and I am looking into getting a z when I come home. Either a twin turbo'd 350z or the 370z

Welcome ^ I lived in Willmar last year. Owned the silver track Z that was parked at Family Video all the time since I worked there. BTW all NO MORE SNOW TIRES!! Finally got a set of dedicated Summer Preformance tires. Went with the new Bridgestone Potenza RE-11. So far they feel fantastic but I'm excited to hit the countryside again more this summer and really see how much of a difference they make.

Nice!

I've been eyeing up the RE11's for a bit now. I'll have to look them over and ask for your experience in the not-so-distant future.

I hear what you mean man! You put a lot of time and care into your car and you don't want to see it get crapped on everyday by door dings, bird crap and bad weather. Cars may not be investments but it doesn't mean that you still can't care when stuff happens to them. I've always taken take a lot of pride in my cars, even back in the days when I was in high school and I saved up to but a 1988 Isuzu pick-up truck. No need to explain here.

Ha thats what i said. my G is more than a mode of transport to me. It is my baby. I hv edumped to my time, money and energy into it to see it abused/abuse i myself.

Thats why im going to get an SUV with higher mileage for 10k or under and use it as my thing hauler, winter car/dd ect.

I had a Trailblazer, it was awesome to me. Smooth, reliable, plenty of power from the straight six, and no rattles, so i think thats what i am going to pick up.
