I remember back in 2003 or 2004. The 350Z was brand new and I saw a white roadster driven by a tennis mom at our pool. I absolutely hated it. The rims, the lack of spoiler, the convertible, the driver. I always chose the Audi TT over the 350Z in video games.
I think it was the hideous 03-05 rims that did it for me. Well fast forward to 2008. My buddy was trying to convince me how cool they were and how he was going to buy one. I was hating like usual and he ended up getting it. A black 2006 enthusiast with Nismo rims and exhaust. I sat in it, smelled it, felt it, drove it, and just fell in love. A few months later, I picked up a red 2007 (HR ftw) base. I was in Z heaven and immediately began modding it. Rims, exhaust, K&N, Pioneer HU, tints, etc. I lost her in a hydroplane accident a year later and was heartbroken. I drove around a 1992 camry until I made some money and June 5th 2013, I drove 4 hours into Alabama to pick up my new baby, a Solid Red 2009 370Z Nismo and once again began modding her. Thanks for listening!
