I figured I would make one of these. I have been procrastinating doing this for a very long time, but decided I should go ahead and get one even though my modding is much slower than the rest of you
After my 18th birthday me and my dad set out to find me a car. I test drove everything under the sun. From March until the end of May. Coming from a 2006 Silverado 2500HD Diesel and a 2006 Toyota Tundra X-SP, I had no idea what I was looking for in a car for under 30k. I drove G35, G37, Silverado 1500, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, F-150, etc. etc. You get the picture. I was clueless. One day we happened to stop by the nissan place again to look at a Maxima, and when I walked in the showroom I saw my first ever 370z. It blew my mind. There was a touring w/o sport and a base model with sport in there. I test drove both. At 18, with no prior knowledge of modding except trucks, to me the one with all the "bells & whistles" was cooler, I would later regret not getting the sport package though. It was a leftover from 2009 with 7 miles on it. We had bought previous vehicles from them before so they dropped the price tremendously for us and helped me get close to my 30k budget. We signed the papers on June 1, 2010 and the rest is history.
