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 :tup:

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 :icon23: 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!

Looks alright to me same as mine. Will cross check tomo when I will pick the car from carbonsignal or else you can check the pics in my journal thread :)

Yeah, I looked at your pics and it did seem the same. It sucks because I'm not physically with my car and I can't see it... my brother just says it is a little tilted. I'll bring it up to Sam when the car gets dropped off at GTM and maybe hear what he thinks.

Good to see you here! Congrats on the purchase. Just lurking around debating whether to pull the trigger... lolz...

Jay! Nice to see you around man! I still cant take the epic times we had in Korea out of my head!

But yeah, the 370 is treating my modding addiction and I got a lot of goodies! Join the club! You know you want too...

Picked up parts from Shine Auto the other day... my brother strapped em all down in his MR-S!

Are going for the amuse kit? My friend has it and it looks awesome. Makes the nismo kit look stock.

^Eventually... unless something else comes out. We'll have to wait and see...

My brother and cousin sent my car to GTM today. Heard they had a pretty nice time... just a few shots my cousin took:
