Rusty's Nismo Journal

Rusty

Hi all!

I bought a used '11 GM Nismo 6M in Dec of '11. Had just over 7,000 miles on it. The Nismo was on my short list of sport cars that I like. Had a chance to get a '06 Viper ACR at a really good price, but that deal fell through, and I walked away from it. Then I came across this one a day later. Well, I fell in love with it. So I bought it. And here I am. I'll update this thread as I do things to the Nismo.
