Late 2002. Miami, FL...
I was a senior in high school, waiting for the bus to go to my part-time job, listening to my Sony Walkman (yes, they were cool at one point) and I saw a car approaching that I had recently read about in my Car & Driver/MotorTrend magazines. A 2003 Diamond Graphite 350Z was cruising by. I snatched off my headphones and listened to it as it sped up to get through a yellow light. It looked and sounded like nothing else on the road. In the mind of a 17 yr old car enthusiast, it was beautiful, different and attainable (someday) and gave me something to dream about. I remember going to work that day saying "one day..."
... that's where the love began.
