I bought my new 2012 Pearl Roadster about 2 months ago. I'd been thinking about Mustang Shelbys and GT Premiums and researching some 2 seater Roadsters too. Then I took my daughter in to get her Rogue serviced and saw a Pearl NISMO in the showroom. I set up an appointment to take a test drive the next day. I drove the NISMO and wasn't a fan of the bouncy ride. I have degenerative disk disease in my back and wasn't real confident I'd be able to tolerate it over the long haul. So I test drove a new 2012 Roadster and felt a lot better about the ride. If my back wasn't so jacked up I probably would have gone with the NISMO.

I've always thought of myself as a Ford guy. I loved my 5.0 Then I started thinking about it and realized this is my 3rd Nissan/Datsun. I've had a Datsun 510 and a Stanza back in the day.

Anyway, I love my new car. Every morning I look forward to the drive to work. And every afternoon I look forward to the drive home. Sometimes I take the long way home with the top down just to enjoy the ride.

About the handle, a 10M is a vintage Conn tenor sax. I'm a hobby player. I have a 60D Canon DSLR I play around with too. So that's a little about me.
