Low,Slow, and Eco to Fast, fast, and... thats pretty much it. Fast.
Wussup,
Just moved down to Tally from Atlanta, GA. In Atlanta, my commute was about 30 minutes on a good day, 1.5-2 hours in rush hour, so I went all in on low and slow with a 2011 Honda Civic LX, slammed it on 18" Gold XXR 527's and Godspeed Coilovers, and got 30+ mpg and scraped every speed bump and pothole to my heart's content. The car was totally show without any go whatsoever.
But now, with a sweet 10 minute commute back and forth to work, mpg goes out the window and I can finally get something to make fast. After coming within about 5 minutes of purchasing a 350z and the deal falling through, I said screw it and set out to find what I really wanted, a 370z. Finally, this past Friday, the dream came to fruition and I drove home in my 2009 Magnetic Black 370z Touring Edition with Sport Package, a Pioneer Navi, and an uninstalled Stage II Clutch thrown into the deal for good measure. Couldn't be happier.
Here's some pics of the old ride and one of my wife's civic (she's looking into a WRX Sti wagon. Says it's a cool "mom" car lol). I'll be keeping a build thread of the Z once it starts.
