Someone shared the link with me. I could have sworn they had just mistaken my car for someone else with the same wrap.

Here I was hoping to see them post pics on FB pages and add mods to the car. He certainly went a different route all together. One I wasn't expecting.

Even though I got my money and have a new car, Im legitimately sad. Yesterday I was thinking how I wouldn't mind seeing the car in my driveway still.

little update...a kid out in Miami bought it for $10k, paid around $5k and fixed it. He didnt know how to drive it that low and started fuking up the fenders over the 1-2 years he owned it. He ended up selling it. He would contact me and ask questions everyone once in a while. ALSO, he never replaced the Michelin PS4s I had on it from years ago. Probably drove it until cord showed through. Not sure why people forget to budget tires into maintenance. I think it didnt realize how expensive tires were for 20s.

It did find a new home though. Someone that took care of it as much as I could have hoped for...for the most part I suppose. The kid did *cough* put under glow on it and rewrapped it a teal though. He did his best...you could tell he loved the car while he had it.

Not sure where it is now though.

A tell tail sign is the person thats interested is A,in their early 20s (not all, but definitely not a good sign they are mature enough to care for a car like yours), and B, thinks he can go fast in a Z and thats the first thing they want to try.

You've held on to your 350z for so long man. I wouldnt be concerned about turning down people until you get a good "vibe" from them. Its kinda heart breaking to see the disrespect even though its not your car anymore.

dont be sorry! Not anymore. Its been about 4 years since Ive owned a Z at this point. Until I get a home with 3+ garage spots, I can only have my daily driver. Moved to some other types of cars, trying to experience somethign different after 15 years of nothing but Nissans.
