Hello.

First and foremost, I am by no means a car expert. To honest, I don't really have that much interest in cars. It doesn't mean I don't respect the field.

Then one day, I decided to shop for a car. Not just any car, and not your parent's car. It had to be visually stunning and within my budget. This will be my car, paid by me, driven by me. You know that feeling right?
So I looked online at the current modern cars available in the U.S. and the only car that actually caught my eye is the Nissan 370Z.
I read everything at the Nissan website and started looking around for more info on the car which eventually led me here.
I always like finding out what people think about whatever it is that I'm hunting down and I think this place is pretty nice.

I won't know what everyone is talking about on here, like VDC, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. I didn't get the "DD" acronym til I read a few more threads and understood it.
Yeah, I'm that uninformed about every day things that I take for granted and never knew there was more to it.

According to the dealer, I should be getting my new 2011 370Z in late April this year.

I've driven mainly on public roads and I don't plan on racing my 370Z whether it's on a race track or out for a joy ride. Over the 15+ years of driving, I haven't been in any serious accidents, but I've been in some pretty bad crashes as a passenger and survived them .
I think that's made me a more conscious driver.

There are some things about the 370Z that I am a little curious about.
Like the rear fog lamp. That would be a good spot for a trailer hitch since the fog light is useless(?). The reason why I'd like a trailer hitch is for moving purposes with a Uhaul trailer or something. But I understand that this is a sports car and a trailer hitch is the last thing anyone would want on their sports car.
