Project-Definition 370Z

Wallpaper Size: [x]

After waiting around and dreaming, I finally picked up my 370z. I was on the fence for awhile deciding if I wanted to TT my 350z or start on a new project. Obviously, I ended up buying a Yellow Z as my Christmas present

Now onto the situation and the many bumps on the road. I'm currently deployed in the Middle East when I decided to purchase my Z. I saw a great deal here on the forums and couldn't pass it up! Problem, it was in Reno, NV and the car has to be in SoCal.

I quickly skyped my brothers who lived back at home and told them I purchased a new car. I also mentioned that they will have to pick it up

2 plane tickets later, they were on their way to Reno!

The car:

Snow + SoCal drivers = Oh no!

My first mod: Chains!

After hundreds of miles and 2 days later, the car is finally home. Time for a wash/detailing and calling it night. Phew!

^look at all that dirt!

I ordered quite a few parts already and they are all just waiting until I come back from deployment. In a few months, I'll be shipping the Z to Hawaii where I'm stationed and represent the Aloha State proudly!
