2009 Audi A4 2.0

After the G..I decided to try something new..after getting married in 09...we tried leasing a car for 3 years...I liked this car..it was sharp lookin and it was AWD. BUT after my 2nd year into the lease I wanted out..Seeing the new Z I couldnt keep thinking about it haha..so I did everything I could to get out of it.. and I did...

now April 6, 2011 I got my FIRST MANUAL car and its a 2009 Magnetic Black Nissan 370z. I love it!


Here's a few picture the night I got it. I made a ATTEMPT to drive it off the lot..but i stalled too many times.. my brother (his black supra in the background) had to help me and tried to teach me in the parking lot how to drive a stick.

Wow, if I found the kid who did that to my car....

yeah...NOW I have my own house with a GARAGE! I had to call the cops cause i didnt know if that would come off..but it did. They used what dealers used to mark price on cars..not sure what kinda paint that is

Well that is good, glad to hear about the garage, definitely makes you sleep better at night knowing the car is stored away.

First MOD: Car didnt come with a rear spoiler..and doing some searches on the forum I came across this thread http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...y-spoiler.html and man the spoiler was perfect for the price!

Thank you guys! I've been so busy with other things lately. Just got my motorcycle license.. trying to get a bike and a daily driver for the winter time or bad weather. Also Traveling a lot this summer too. Wish i hit the lottery. But I'm glad I have a Z :)

Finally got my wife to stand in front of my car...only 1 picture tho lol

Where's the fenders?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haven't installed yet. Trying to get everything first(shine auto front lip and side skirts and the Evo-r wing) before dropping off at the shop. Did you ever get front lip?

Cant wait to see it

Good job!! So you when did you order the wing?

Haven't yet. I will soon tho. Hopefully ill have everything installed by summer next year!

Yeah i got the sunline rep. Your car is looking real nice bro. Wish I have money for some volks or work wheels :(

How come you didn't keep the amuse front? Did you find a carrier to ship that out.. I remember seeing a thread that it cost a butt load to ship out

I found that I like the stock bumper with blackout fang and CF lip better. I might go for fujimura later on. And yeah I'm gonna go for greyhound :icon17:
