Proud new Z owner!

MPLS_Z · 10-02-2017, 08:49 PM

Well, I was going to wait till Spring, but the impulsivity bug bit me today when I saw a fully loaded 2014 Touring + Sport w/ Nav at a nearby dealer. I went solely to look at it, as BS was my 2nd color choice after PW, but there weren't any within 1000 miles of me that were fully loaded. Next thing I know, we're appraising my trade-in (2008 Accord Coupe EX-L) and I was ok with what they were going to give me. Couldn't really enjoy it much with the torrential rain today in Minneapolis, but there will be plenty more days for that

This is my first RWD car, and also my first with over 190hp, so it'll take some getting used to, but I'm prime to learn. Future mods will be pretty conservative, intake and exhaust most likely, as well as some carbon trim pieces like the rear diffuser. It will be my DD, so we'll see how the winter goes, but I plan on getting Blizzaks or X-ice, and my drive to work is only 7 miles or so. Looking forward to meeting some Minneapolis Z owners too!

Congratulations and welcome!

Maybe we'll run into each other one day here in October. I work in Plymouth. Mine will be going into hibernation in a few weeks, so be careful out there with the crazy winter drivers, not to mention salt, chemicals, and sand.

Yeah definitely! I'm hoping the winter is like the last couple years with a random snowstorm here and there. You never know though, this is Minnesota after all. As long as they keep 169, Rockford, and NW Blvd nice and plowed, I think I'll be in good shape from here to work and back

I have the monthly car wash pass from Holiday, so I'll do my best to keep it as clean as possible during the winter.
