Then I went to the other "shytstorm", aka Afghanistan, and I spent a ton of time looking at cars in my down time - hey gotta figure out how to use that deployment money when I come home, right? I was actually really intent on getting a 97-00 NSX, but when I got home in mid-April, I couldn't find one that was close to me and in the color I wanted, so I opted for the brand I knew I could trust to provide the best possible driving experience - the Z. I had read all the web sites and latest magazine articles on the 370Z while I was overseas, and while I wasn't initially sold on the looks, it really hooked me when I saw it in person.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to trade up for a GTR in a couple of years, or I might trade in for that NSX if one ever comes up near me, and in the right color.
