HOLA AMIGOS!!

I just wanted to thank the folks at 370z.com for creating this forum. I had a blast on this forum in the past and unfortunately had to create a new username since I was gone for so long and forgot all my info. I was on GTRLIFE for a good while but since I sold my 2014 GTR Premium (Gun Metal), I'm now back on the 370z forum. I just bought a 2016 Pearl White Z. This is my second as I had an 2011 Silver Z w/sport pkg. I'm loving the pearl white with the black rims. The 19" Rays just don't do it for me anymore. Anyways, if your thinking about getting a GTR and can afford it, think long and hard about it. For me it was just too much car for the road and not worth the $1350 a month payment. It was a garage baby for the most part. I would drive it one or two days a week, wash and then put away. Stick with the Z, it's got the looks despite the design being 6 years old and it's a blast to drive. It's just a more practical car.

I just thought I would mention, the primary reason I'm back on here is for the 'DIY's". I bought the base model AT7 and didn't realize that they did away with the paddle shifters prior to making my decision. So my first mod is guess what? Exactly! The GTR had the same paddles but they were "magnesium" and the finish was rough. The new oem paddles seem to be more refined. This car will be an ongoing project for me and I look forward to contributing as much as possible to this forum.

Thanks to all!!!
